  Frida Kahlo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kahlo was noted for her unconventional appearance, declining to remove her facial hair (she had a small mustache and unibrow which she exaggerated in self portraits), and for her flamboyantly styled clothing, drawn largely from traditional Mexican dress.
Kahlo was born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón in her parents' house in Coyoacán, which at the time was a small town on the outskirts of Mexico City.
Her father, Guillermo Kahlo (1872-1941), was a German who was born in 1871 in Pforzheim, Germany as Carl Wilhelm Kahlo to Lutheran parents whose antecedents, craftsmen, soldiers, gingerbread bakers and sluice keepers, have been traced back to the 16th century.

Her repeated inability to have children was a source of pain for Kahlo, who expressed this frustration in her paintings through the major themes of childbirth, blood and fertility.

 The Johns Hopkins News-Letter
Frida Kahlo is one of the most fascinating figures of her time, a Mexican surrealist known for the psychological intensity of her paintings; a woman of rare flamboyance, forceful character and sharp intelligence who effortlessly held her own among the elite of Mexico, the United States and Europe.
The reason for this is that Kahlo is too dominant and complex a figure to represent using only the first person; the depth of her experiences, her torment, introspection and unique sense of self make it impossible for an author to assume her voice and consciousness.
Cristina's speech is direct, earthy and crisp, but she lacks the intuition or sympathy which would have given her voice a greater depth.

Kahlo was attracted to him, and not knowing quite how to deal with the emotions she felt, expressed them by teasing him, playing practical jokes, and by trying to excite the jealousy of the painter's wife, Lupe Marin.

 Frida - Julie Taymor, Selma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Antonio Banderas - CIA
In addition to being a great artist, Frida Kahlo was also a bisexual and a communist, struggling with an abusive husband, a life of wracking pain following a trolley accident, the amputation of a leg and, finally, drug and alcohol abuse that killed her at age 47.
Kahlo is said to have remarked "I have suffered two big accidents in my life, one in which a streetcar ran over me. The other was Diego." (This is paraphrased to fine effect in the film.) Diego Rivera, superbly realised by Alfred Molina, became Frida's other half both personally and artistically.
