Maria Montez

Maria Africa Gracia Vidal knew she was destined to live a short life. While seeking Hollywood fame, she lost the two things that meant the most in her life: her family and her identity. She negated her roots by changing her name to Maria Montez. Little did she know that it was her voluptuous figure and golden tanned skin, which helped her become the famous: Queen of Technicolor.
