Maria Felix was an actress. One of her most famous movies is Doña Bárara. Maria Felix was also a fashion icon, and a goddess to female mexicans. Maria always played as being a powerful and independent woman in her movies. She never played as a feminine character. She was a role model for many female mexicans.

Untitled Slide

• Maria Felix made a total of 47 films.
• She had four husbands.
• She had 12 siblings.
• She was compared to Marilyn Monroe.
• She never was in a hollywood film.

I think Maria Felix is on a mural in Pilsen because she set a powerful example for women around the world. She was independent and not the classic image of a feminine actress. Also she was one of the biggest stars in mexico.
