A new book tells the story of 20th Century actress Maria Montez. The Guardian features a biographical account on the legendary star, a native of Barahona in the southwest of the Dominican Republic.

The American author also puts Montez’s life in context and gives details of her role as a cultural icon and a living representation of the United States’ Good Neighbor Policy with Latin American countries.
