Maria de los Dolores Asunsolo Lopez Negrete was born on August 3, 1904 in Mexico. Her family was actually really rich, with her mother’s lineage going back to Spain and the viceregal nobility. Her parents were members of the Mexican artistocracy that existed during this time (which was during dictator Porfirio Diaz’s reign). She had many notable family relations – the most high-profile was her cousin Ramon Navarro, who was a sough-after „latin Lover“ in silent cinema.
