Popular in 1940s and 1950s, Gorgeous Mexican film actress Maria Felix (8 April 1914 – 8 April 2002)

Mexican film actress Maria Felix
The name of this actress is inseparable from the entire national art culture of Mexico. In addition, her contribution to the world success of Mexican films of the post-war years is beyond doubt. After all, the time of the artistic rise of Mexican cinema was the time of success of film actress Maria Felix. At the same time, the crisis and decline of Mexican cinema coincided with the end of the screen biography of Maria Felix. And although in the following years she became an international star and, thanks to her fame and appearance, continued to star in Spanish, Italian and French films, yet her name and films remained a part of Mexican cinema.
In fact, even without the films of Maria Felix, Mexican cinema would still remain the art of a unique national identity. However, outside of this art, the actor’s personality of Maria Felix simply did not exist. She would have been just one of those beautiful movie stars who, blazing out with the instantaneous light of a transitory and phantom cinema, then fade and die, unable to withstand the dazzling radiance of another movie star, ascended to the screen sky.

Beauty does not last forever. Ornella Muti quotes

About herself. Ornella Muti quotes
I had a difficult period in my life, so I stayed in the village, drew and painted.
I do not drink alcohol at all. I do not like the state of intoxication, and I’ve never been drunk in my life.
To grow old is sick. To deny this is hypocrite.
I’ve always been very timid and still a very timid person.
All that I did not like in people, I tried to find in myself and get rid of it. Everything I liked, I tried to obtain.
Each of us knows what is good and what is bad for him.
I like to go in for sports – this is passion.
My real name is Francesca, so my family and friends call me.
Although I love to chat, I will not say anything superfluous.
I speak German, Italian, French, Spanish and English.
I’m sentimental, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

The poison of the green mamba is very strong, it is even more toxic than the poison of some cobras. For example, the bitten mouse dies in a few seconds. In fact, all the poison contained in the glands of one mamba, is enough to kill 9 people. Compared with the black mamba, green is more dangerous for humans, despite the fact that the first is the fastest on our Earth. But still, the green mamba leads in terms of the number of human deaths. This is due to the fact that, firstly, the green mamba sometimes settles on tea plantations and mangoes. When people start harvesting, they involuntarily disturb unmerciful snakes. Secondly, the green mamba can attack for no apparent reason. As a result, each year, from the attack of these mambas in Africa, more than 40 people die.
