Dolores del Río has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 1620 Vine Street, in recognition of her contributions to the motion picture industry. Her other films include:. She died from liver disease at Laguna Beach, California and was buried at in the Panteón de Dolores cemetery (no relation) in Mexico City. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of her contribution to Motion Pictures at 6922 Hollywood Boulevard. In 1960 she starred with Elvis Presley in the US Western Flaming Star directed by Don Siegel. Alice Faye died in Rancho Mirage, California from stomach cancer. She was nominated for Mexico's Silver Ariel Award five times, winning two awards for her performances. The couple remained together until Harris' death in 1995.

She was soon approached by director Emilio Fernández, and she began making Spanish-language films that brought her great success in Mexico over the next twenty years. Her marriage to Harris was considered a happy one, and the couple worked extensively together on radio after the demise of Faye's film career, most notably in NBC's Fitch Bandwagon from 1946 until 1948, and The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show from 1948 until 1954. She returned to Mexico in 1942. Her marriage to Phil Harris in 1941 resulted in two daughters, Alice born in 1942 and Phyllis born in 1944. Her collaboration with Welles, Journey Into Fear (1942), was her last major Hollywood film. Faye married Tony Martin in 1937 but the couple divorced in 1940. An affair with Orson Welles was reported to have been the cause of her divorce from Gibbons in 1941. The film was not a great success and Faye made infrequent cameo appearances thereafter.

With the advent of talkies she was usually relegated to exotic and unimportant roles, but scored successes with Flying Down to Rio (the film that launched the careers of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in 1933) and Madame DuBarry (1934). Gossip magazines of the time speculated that Faye was dismissed as a result of a rivalry with Betty Grable, a claim that Faye and Grable, who would remain friends until Grable's death, both disputed. After a seventeen year absence from films, Faye made a return in State Fair (1962). In 1930, she married Cedric Gibbons, one of MGM's leading art directors and production designers. Released in 1945, Fallen Angel was Faye's final film as a major Hollywood star. She came to be admired as one of the most beautiful women on screen, and her career flourished until the end of the silent era. Faye drove away from the studio after a screening of the film and refused to return. Zanuck responded by having Faye blackballed for breaking her contract, and her film career was effectively over. She was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1926, but initially struggled to overcome prejudice. The picture was ostensibly designed to be a Faye vehicle, and she was the lead actress, however Zanuck was attempting to build the career of his new star Linda Darnell, and many of Faye's scenes were cut in favour of Darnell.

The marriage ended in divorce but del Río retained her married name, continued to pursue a career as an actress, and made her first film appearance in 1925. Her career continued until 1944 when she was cast in Fallen Angel. In 1921 she married Jaime del Río, and through a Hollywood friend the couple emigrated to the USA with the plan of establishing showbusiness careers for themselves: screenwriter and actress, respectively. Most often cast in musicals, she was responsible for introducing many popular songs to the hit parade, and although not regarded a serious dramatic actress, she gave what many critics described as her best dramatic performance in In Old Chicago (1938). Her wealthy family lost all their assets during the Mexican Revolution, and a desire to restore her comfortable lifestyle inspired her to follow a career as an actress. Zanuck made a deliberate effort to soften her image from that of a wise cracking showgirl. Born Dolores Martínez Asúnsolo y López Negrete in Durango, Mexico, del Río was the cousin of actor Ramón Novarro. She became a popular favourite with cinema audiences of the 1930s, especially from 1936 when producer Darryl F.

Adopting her stage name, Faye came to prominence on radio in The Fleischmann Hour (1932-1934) with Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees.
