One of the few Mexican stars who have actually made it hugely in Hollywood, Katy Jurado will always be remembered mostly for her enigmatic eyes that pointed like fiery arrows. Establishing herself as an actress in Mexico for nearly a decade before going North, she gained respectfulness in the industry, same thing that happened in Hollywood. After her role in
Bullfighter and the Lady (1951) she was on the map. Later she was even nominated for an Academy Award in 1954 for
Broken Lance opposite Spencer Tracy. However, her best-remembered role made her both the reason of the struggle between good and evil and a sexy contrast for Grace Kelly’s delicacy in
High Noon (1952). Another interesting turn had her directed by and acting next to Marlon Brando in
One-Eyed Jacks.
A pride for Mexico, a legacy for Hollywood, Katy Jurado has died. Rest in peace.
