Brazilian singer and actor Raul Roulien (1905-20000) worked briefly in Hollywood in the waning days of the 'Latin Lover' craze. Raul began recording in 1928 and emigrated to the U.S. in 1931, signing with 20th Century Fox. He appeared in Spanish-language versions shot for the export market. He also co-starred in the first Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers musical Flying Down to Rio (1933) as part of a romantic triangle with Gene Raymond and Dolores Del Río.
Mexican and American actress Dolores del Río (1905–1983) was a Hollywood star in the 1920s and 1930s, and one of the most important female actresses of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. Del Río was the first major Latin cross-over star in Hollywood and was considered one of the most beautiful faces that have emerged in Hollywood cinema. She also appeared in several European films.
