She is often called one of the most beautiful actresses of classic Hollywood by critics and staff that had known her during her career; director Creator/JosefVonSternberg reportedly claimed that Del Rio, Creator/MarleneDietrich, Creator/RitaHayworth and Creator/CaroleLombard defined Hollywood glamour, even though Del Rio didn't enjoy being the "Latina bombshell".

Del Rio began her performing arts career by becoming a dancer as a teenager, travelling around Europe with a dance troupe performing for royalty. She was spotted by Edwin Carewe in 1925, who invited her to Hollywood, determined to make her a successful movie star, despite del Rio's family opposing the idea. She arrived in Hollywood with Carewe posing as her agent, who shortened her name and promoted her as the newest exotic icon, however, her first film ''Joanna'' (a silent picture) only gave her a five-minute appearance. After two lackluster films, del Rio appeared in Creator/RaoulWalsh's ''What Price Glory?'', which was one of the most successful films of the year, making over $2 million worldwide and turning del Rio into an overnight sensation.
