		Maria Montez reinvented her self. Carefully recultivating the Dominican accent she`d lost after moving to the U.S.A. and decking her self out in jewels, exotic costumes, and a loyal retinue, Montez became the exotic, tempestuous Latin leading lady.
		Maria reached the stardom she craved, in spite of being a newcomer (in that time, the foreigners who came in Hollywood were known as that), of having started her career at the age of 28 and she did not have time for cinematography classes, which did not allowed her to develop her dramatic potenntial.
		Maria refused to appear in the movie FRONTIER GAL, because she was fed up of the escapist movies and she received a sanction of Universal with fatal suspension of her contract althought it was only temporary.

	Biography for Maria Montez (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		With Montez threatened by all manner of nastiness -- from evil caliphs to man-eating sharks to her own cobra-worshipping twin sister (!) -- her pictures soon became immensely popular, even though she could not really act, could not dance and could not sing.
		That bit of history, plus a bit of girth added to Montez's frame, led her and her husband, the actor Jean-Pierre Aumont, to abandon Hollywood for Europe, where she would appear in a handful of French and Italian adventure films.
		On 7 September 1951 Maria Montez was discovered drowned in her bath, possibly having first suffered a heart attack.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Jack Smith
		Smith was raised on Hollywood kitsch, and the imagery of 1940s movie monsters, and especially his patron saint Maria Montez — to whom he built an altar and prayed — inspired him.
		Smith’s own standards for art let him refashion Montez and the whole ethos of tinny Orientalia, low-budget intrigues, and what he called Universal’s "cowhide thongs and cardboard sets" into Dionysian revels that were both wild camp and subtle polemic in upsetting an overflowing apple cart of norms: heterosexuality, narrative, social and sexual and aesthetic repressions.
		The world as seen in his films is a comic collage of fake history and fake culture, reduced to pathetic backdrops before which his "creatures" — vaguely gendered Frankenstein assemblages of makeup and rags — heroically writhe.

		And again the submissive audience is witchingly rocked to sleep with as wacky an adventure fable as was ever dished up outside the comic strips.

	Flaming Creatures
		Between 1962 and 1964, Film Culture published a number of Smith's essays, including his aesthetic manifesto “The Perfect Filmic Appositeness of Maria Montez.” (2) Written while Smith was shooting Flaming Creatures, this piece of writing revealed Smith to be a film cultist.
		He felt that all the secrets of the cinema lay in careful study of [that] woman.” (3) Montez embodied for Smith the 'magic' of the movies and his film and later theatre work is filled with references to specific Montez pictures, and to Hollywood exotica more generally.
		Inspired by the images of Montez's films, Flaming Creatures eschews conventional narrative to depict a pantheon of gorgeous and ambiguously gendered 'creatures' in a loosely connected series of tableaux set to an inspired collage of scratchy recordings.
