María Guadalupe Villalobos Vélez (July 18, 1908 – December 13, 1944), known professionally as Lupe Vélez, was a Mexican stage and film actress and vedette.

Vélez began her career as a performer in Mexican vaudeville. After moving to the United States, she made her first film appearance in the 1927 film The Gaucho, opposite Douglas Fairbanks. By the end of the decade, she had progressed to leading roles and became one of the first successful Mexican actresses in the United States. In the 1940s, Vélez's popularity peaked after appearing in the Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Vélez well documented fiery personality.

Biography

Relationships and marriage
Vélez was involved in several highly publicized and often stormy relationships over the course of her career. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, she was linked to actors Tom Mix, Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable (who reportedly ended the relationship shortly after it began due to Vélez's reputation of publicly revealing intimate details about her lovers). Her first long-term, high profile relationship was with actor Gary Cooper. Vélez met Cooper while filming The Wolf Song in 1929 and began a two-year affair with him.
