Dr. Bárbara Mujica, Professor Emerita of Georgetown University, will discuss her new historical fiction novel, Miss Del Rio. Set in 1910 Mexico, Dolores, the daughter of a wealthy banker, must flee her comfortable life in Durango or risk death.

In a twist of fate she meets an influential American director who recognizes in her a natural performer. He invites her to Hollywood, and practically overnight, the famous Miss del Río is born. Spanning half a century, Miss del Río traces the life of a trailblazing woman whose legacy in Hollywood and in Mexico still shines bright today. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
