Latinos in Film collection. [1916-2005].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/129981222

The collection is focused primarily on portrayals of Latino characters in film and includes materials about major Latino stars, such as Lupe Vélez and Dolores Del Rio (both strongly represented in this collection). However, many of the great Latino movie stars in Hollywood films -- Rita Hayworth, Anthony Quinn, Lupe Vélez, Cesar Romero, for instance -- portrayed many different kinds of roles during their long careers, and this collection reveals some of the diversity of their work. Although the bulk of the items here are associated with Hollywood movies, there are some examples of Cuban, Mexican, and South American film, as well as a collection of campaign sheets and posters from Britain, Italy, Mexico, Cuba, and other countries (based on Hollywood releases). The collection contains approximately 590 pieces of rare movie ephemera -- promotional photographs, posters, lobby cards, photoplay book editions, campaign books, press kits and television/movie scripts -- dating from the silent film era to 2005.
