  Obituary: Maria Felix | News | Guardian Unlimited Film
It was with her third film, Doña Barbara (1943), that Felix's star began to rise - according to one critic, "as both a respected actress and an over-determined icon" - although some would doubt her acting abilities.
Felix was much painted by famous artists, including Jean Cocteau and Diego Rivera (one of her numerous ex-lovers), who, to her fury, portrayed her in a transparent dress.
Felix avoided potential opprobrium when a projected film, based on Zona Sagrada by Fuentes, dealing with an incestuous relationship between a film star and her son, failed to materialise; she and Enrique were to have appeared in the movie.

Maria Felix, the Mexican film star whose extraordinary beauty and force of personality made her a living myth to Mexicans and a symbol of glamour and sophistication to fans throughout the world, died last Monday at her home in Mexico City.
Felix's best movies were in the 1940s, when as a dominant figure in Mexican cinema's golden age, she exerted great influence over lighting, camera angles, scenario and wardrobe.
Felix was born Maria de los Angeles Felix Guerena, on May 4, 1914, in Alamos, Sonora, according to the birth certificate discovered by Paco Ignacio Taibo, the author of La Dona, a 1985 biography of Felix.

On the streets, there were hundreds of Mexicans singing "Maria Bonita" (Beautiful Maria), this song is considered Maria's hymn and was composed by one of his lovers, Agustin Lara.
Maria's son, Enrique Alvarez Felix (died 1996) is buried on the same tomb as well as Maria's parents.
At dawn, when everybody had left the cemetery, it was almost unbelievable to watch the tomb all alone, thinking that "The Diva" of Mexican cinema was lying there, under the ground, with her eyes closed forever.

Maria Lilia Felix and Trini Armenta are lawyers with strong qualifications for the job; John Kromko, the third contender, is a former legislator and longtime political activist who does not have any legal background.
Felix and Armenta have much in common, but Felix has the advantage of having served two years as a justice of the peace pro tem, thus eliminating any learning curve if she is elected.
Felix notes one of the biggest problems with the JP courts today is not only the increase in the volume of cases but the number of very old cases that are unresolved.
