In a move that celebrates the timeless allure of Mexican cinema and honors the indomitable spirit of a legendary actress, Mattel has unveiled a stunning Barbie doll inspired by none other than Maria Felix, the iconic “La Doña” of the silver screen. 

Maria Felix, often referred to as the “grand dame” of Mexican cinema is a Latina legend in the entertainment industry thanks to her mind-blowing performances, fierce elegance, and unmatched charisma. Also known for her powerful roles and captivating on-screen presence, she became a symbol of strength and beauty, both on and off the camera.

The doll captures the timeless beauty that Felix exuded, featuring her signature bold eyebrows, luxuriously raven hair, and a meticulously crafted ensemble that pays homage to her iconic style. 

The team at Mattel worked meticulously to ensure every detail reflected the grace and grandeur of the actress. From the exquisite accessories to the intricate design elements, the doll stands as a true testament to the enduring legacy of Maria Felix.  

The unveiling of the Maria Felix Barbie doll is not just about celebrating an actress; it’s about embracing the empowerment and strength that Felix embodied throughout her life. She was a trailblazer in an era when women’s roles were often confined to traditional norms. With her charisma and fiery performances, she challenged the status quo and redefined the role of women in cinema. 

It is apparent that Mattel has been working overtime to give people what they want – and it is all paying off. This IS what we want. At least, what the Latino/e community wants to see.
