    Maria Felix is considered the greatest diva in the history of Mexican cinema. She starred in 47 films in her career, and called herself "a woman with a man's heart." Known for her bold, charismatic, and larger-than life persona both on and off the movie set, she refused the small parts offered her by American directors, thus never achieving widespread fame in the U.S. However, her celebrity in Latin America and Europe was huge, which was bolstered by her marriages to famous Mexican icons like Agustin Lara and Jorge Negrete. Born in the state of Sonora, she grew up in Guadalajara, lived part of her life in Paris, and died on her 88th birthday in Mexico City, in 2002. 

    The Mexican American Cultural Center presents three of Felix's films:
    June 28: La Devoradora (1946)
    July 26: Doña Diabla (1949)
    August 30: La Mujer de Todos (1946)
