María Félix
Nude

Reigning as a queen of the silver screens of Mexico and Europe for three decades, Sonoroa, Mexico-born, black-haired seductress María Félix added flash and fire to the films of world-shaping directors such as Luis Buñuel and Jean Renoir. María’s signature character was the strong-headed, independent, sexually supercharged leading lady who by film’s end would submit to the macho manhandling of a sensitive but studly dude whose sex drive revved at the same speed as her own. María keeps her cooler-than-ice sunglasses on throughout her daring baring in Amor y Sexo (1964), perhaps to keep from being blinded by the eternal luminosity of her anti-gravity orbs.
