This is the story of one of Hollywoods first Latina screen siren during the Golden Era. Born in The Dominican Republic, she dared to dream beyond the confines of the world she knew, only to emerge as Hollywoods Queen of Technicolor. Movies such as Ali Baba & The Forty Thieves and Arabian Nights stamped her face in the tabloids and many lockers of WWII soldiers. Before her early mysterious death, Maria accomplished an impressive stable of work, which included more than 26 films within Europe and the United States.
