Me too. Can anyone post the full episodes of Albert Salmi, Gig Young, Raymond Chandler, James Whale and Charlie Parker? Those were my favorite episodes.
What is wrong with knowing your beautiful and knowing that your beauty is your credit score? Why do women get shamed when they know they are beautiful and use it in a society that worships youth and beauty? Esp in Hollywood. She was no narcissist, she was smart as much as she was lovely.
No doubt about her beauty & star quality. Had she only lived longer, she'd have become an everlasting icon like Garbo & Marilyn (though different styles!)
Ella fué muy hermosa. Qué bonita actriz! Yo no sé mucho información de ella. Pero la única vez yo me escuché de ella en la película se llama Fedora 1978, que la mencionada.
I have three of the six films she made with Jon Hall on blu-ray. I'm hoping the remaining three will be released in blu-ray as well. The films are not great works of art but they sure are a lot of fun.
if you look at any suicide though the family and friends always say that they don't know why they committed suicide that there was no warning signs that the deceased had actually seemed happier than ever right before the suicide. Sometimes family even starts conspiracy theories saying the suicides were murderers even though there's no evidence of murder and all the evidence points towards suicide. This is such a well-documented phenomenon that any psychologist will tell you that people who are going to commit suicide don't tell you they're going to commit suicide because they don't want to be stopped and they seem happier than ever right before their suicides because they are saying goodbye to the world and they finally made a decision to end their own life. The VAST majority of the time suicide comes as a shock to the family and friends. So her family and friends saying that there was no way she would commit suicide really means nothing. The family and friends never know that a family member is about to commit suicide. If they did know wouldn't you think they'd force their family member to get help? What kind of family and friends knows a family member wants to kill themselves and does nothing to help them??? Not to mention the fact as it says further on the documentary Maria I just had a new baby and back then they didn't know what postpartum depression was. They didn't know how all-consuming and serious and dangerous it could be. From the outside looking in everyone's like she just had this new baby how could she possibly have killed herself when in reality it was very common back then for women to be incredibly depressed after the birth of a new baby and it is still common nowadays only now doctors and friends and family lookout for it so they get their loved one treatment. Just because she had had a new baby doesn't mean there's no possible way she committed suicide in fact, I would argue that makes it more likely that she did commit suicide.
@@SteviRee Not true. My family and I are believers of God yet we still believe in therapy and couples counseling. Things like that mixed with uplifting scriptures and supporting family members can really make a difference in suicidal people.
This comment is valid speculation, however zero facts to back it up…Apparently her heart fails in the hot salt water bath…perhaps she was on diet pills or a smoker and exercised obsessed…..I sense we will never know the full truth… also her daughter was 6, not a newborn!
The camera loved Maria and she knew how to work the camera! Either someone killed Maria or the hot salt baths did! Maria, didn't kill herself! She had a small baby daughter! 🙄
I read that she had capacities to predict the future or a sensitive; she predicted to her husbant; her cook also was a fortune- teller and made her prediction. So she could have wrote having in mind that without commiting suicide.
MM had visions of dying in the water. During the shooting of the film, IL LADRO DI VENEZIA, her boat got stuck with a cable, and she almost drown. She thought she escaped her destiny. She did not imagine she would faint or have a heart attack while having a bath.
Ruth Hildenbrandt I could see why. Yvonne was a stunning woman, and probably one of the most beautiful women that the industry has ever seen. It helped that she had a sense of humor as well. A beautiful woman with good comedic timing will not go hungry for long.
I remember the films with Jon Hall that I saw as a youngster. I thought she was ravishingly beautiful, but knew nothing about her as a person until I saw this.
Robert Giles Then you contradict yourself,because you were minimizing her work,fool. Plus,that's a daft and simplistic notion,anyway;as different jobs have different stressors. work is NOT work.
Jane D Arc she loved other people have you heard a bad word about her during the entire show ? she wanted to be a star does not mean she was a Narcissist
A fast way to age and dry out your skin is to take long hot baths,and with salt! what was she trying to do brine herself?I'm surprised she didn't notice,quick showers and lotion yourself before you dry off,she should have just found some form of exercise.,I don"t see a suicide here,sounds like she had some sort of medical problem and drown,I wish it talked about what became of her husband and daughter.
Drowned due to mixing drugs & booze prob. The studio doled out Speed for weight loss like it was candy back then. Judy Garland was on it from age 12 for her weight.
My guess (opinion) is she committed suicide. People with small childen do commit suicide. Her beauty was like the air she breathed. She was beautiful and im glad2 watch as i can't recall knowing of her. I think growing old she wd have been beautiful FOR HER AGE and no woman wants to hear that. But she could have enjoyed her money..written a book..travelled. but once youth is gone it does not return again. Like toyland.rip
I guarantee she did not commit suicide….Many people cannot and should not take baths that hot…I have a young friend who passed out from a hot bath and couldn’t be revived but eventually was…Maria may have fallen asleep in the hot tub too…
Dana Wynn/ You haven't lived in south Florida, where sadly, a lot of women only hold that playing card in their deck. There's certainly more to life than that. "Oh....don't hate me because I'm beautiful". Vanity is a short run and an early death if your committed.
Yes, as her niece Raina Paris said, a lot of relatives from the paternal side of the family died at a young age from a heart attack, maybe something they inherited, and MM was a smoker too, so it was not a good combination.
A woman obsessed with her own face definitely would kill herself before she’s 40 especially back in the 1940’s and 50’s.Her first film failure I think made her feel like she wasn’t as hot as she used to be.From men dying to put her in movies to not even getting paid for staring in a film had to hit her very hard.
I can no luv a tif! I’d see her movies for a laugh! Spastic dance after “ King Cobra! I have spoken!” No classical features! Get some intelligent friends together and have a good laugh! Thanks
I think many times the word "Beautiful" is used too casually. For me, beauty is rare. In my opinion, there is only one actress that has ever held such a title. Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) was the epitome of beauty and radiated that inside and out. Also the singer Sade Adu in her prime was the epitome of a sensual, rare beauty, inside and out. Maria whatshername was a Hollywood dime a dozen pretty face who died of vanity. The end...
Norma was not the epitome of beauty, since she had multiple cosmetic procedures. Beautiful inside? She broke many marriages and was named as the "other woman" in divorce suits. She was filthy, and slept on top of half eaten plates of food in bed.
I never heard of her and she has never been a major star. I have seen thousands of women from all races who looked better than her. Her face was very average and forgettable.
@@lolitah8560 I see what you are trying convey but she still is falling short even in the exotic area. When I think of exotic women who look different from their contemporaries is Sophia Loren or Eva Gardner.
@@terryhoward8263 was giving the tittle the queen of technicolor. And is not major star ? It was. What attire was considered exotic , look up Carmen Miranda from Brazil and others …
@@rogeramezquita5685 I am a movie buff of the 1940s and `1950s Maria Montez was not on the same high level as her fellow Latina actresses. like Dolores Del Rio, Rita Hayworth, or even Lupe Vélez. As for Carmen, who was more well-known than Maria Montez also, was never considered an exotic beauty nor was her clothes. Carmen and her clothes were considered more comical.
@@terryhoward8263 for. That’s was the way American view at that time all of them were exotic they never extended their roles like other actress because Hollywood at the time was very limited actress like Ana May wong for example. On your view Carmen Miranda was” comical”when in reality was a production of the Hollywood machine even actress from Mexico like Maria Felix. One of the best actress of the Mexican silver screen refuse to work with Hollywood for that reason so if you think that the tittle of. A queen of technicolor is not a big deal from a person that came from an island is your opinion , now i most say she was not the greatest actress for sure but she is remember ..
I wonder if she had a history of diet pills ( the meth of that day), to keep her weight down and work long hrs?….she was very young to die, 39, thus a scalding hot bath perhaps under some toxic influence would exacerbate the potential of sudden death…also, did she smoke? I guess we might never know…
do you know how many actresses singers doris duke performed as? and how many actor / singers walt disney sr. performed as? and do you know how many actors/ singers and models i performed as?
When they had good shows on E!
Much better than keeping up with the Kardashians in my opinion

No, she was 39. Her looks were fading
So gorgeous👍

Such a beautiful woman. This is a great series . But how does a scalding salt bath aid weight loss. The salt would leave your skin all dried out.
This women had to have been quite a bit crazy to have accomplished as much as she did .
She didn't accomplish anything.
i remember montez from my childhood. she eas ultimate replaced on screen by the beautiful and ver talented yvonne de carlo..

@@robertgiles9124 / That was hilarious ! Thank you Robert.
Who does want to get old?
If Montez dressed expensively before becoming an actor, where did the $ come from?
#1 Her dad was a politician, #2 her first husband a wealthy banker, #3 she was beautiful and knew how to finesse.
Wow. She stood uo for herself. She was not just a pretty face.
Karen Murray I admit, she was no one’s fool, and she was her own cheerleader. Why not bet on yourself if you believe in your worth.
She didn't stand up for anything. She was willing to be famous by any means necessary, including casting couch.
I was also born 6th of June and have Montez in my surname. The irony 😂
I banged her
What's ironic about that? It is a slight coincidence but not ironic unless you haven't told us everything!
@@poorthing thank you; I am sick to death of people misunderstanding such a simple concept!
What's ironic about that? Montez is a common surname of those people.
She had a narcissistic profile
Jane D Arc she loved other people have you heard a bad word about her during the entire show ? she wanted to be a star does not mean she was a Narcissist
Nope, just assertive & knew her worth.
Never heard of her
She was hot and died hot....for real. 😎

Movie industry and singing industry have very tragic stories world round!!! It is really a shame to die so young !!!!! It is a tragedy!!!!
Not true….per capita entertainers are happier and generally healthier…
omg!! i hope this isnt true, surely she didnt kill her self trying to preserve her youth.
Dana Wynn it wouldn't surprise me! Most beautiful young actresses do not want to get old because they are afraid they will lose their great looks.
Not surprised. Look at the face lifts, the botox, everything that they do nowadays to keep themselves young and relevant. It's sad to watch.
Dana Wynn/ You haven't lived in south Florida, where sadly, a lot of women only hold that playing card in their deck. There's certainly more to life than that. "Oh....don't hate me because I'm beautiful". Vanity is a short run and an early death if your committed.
Tragically, throughout history many movie stars and singers both male and females have died young!!!!
She did.

She's better than Jennifer Lopez.Tony
What do you mean by that? Your comment is very rude and childish…Jennifer is gorgeous too, in a different way! Why are you jealous…it’s so obvious….
Actriz que actuó por primera vez en cámara de cine norteamericano de República Dominicana
Beauty should also be skin deep ..she has a pretty face but Vivien Leigh still tops my list😀
and Vivien's a REAL actress
Funny, I don't remember her, but I do remember Sabu 😏
🕵️🥰👍
It is my understanding she had a heart attack .....in the hot bath no doubt. 39 is young to pass away.
Yes, as her niece Raina Paris said, a lot of relatives from the paternal side of the family died at a young age from a heart attack, maybe something they inherited, and MM was a smoker too, so it was not a good combination.
I think it's silly that she took her own life because she feared old age isn't that part of life? Everyone & thing gets old accept pictures & movies.
I thought she had a heart atack in the hot water...
She'd just had a baby, could have been post natal depression. It wasn't really understood back then. Mixed drugs & booze then drowned, like Whitney.
We shared the same name
A woman obsessed with her own face definitely would kill herself before she’s 40 especially back in the 1940’s and 50’s.Her first film failure I think made her feel like she wasn’t as hot as she used to be.From men dying to put her in movies to not even getting paid for staring in a film had to hit her very hard.
In some of these shots, Montez looks very much like Drew Barrymore.
That's interesting I wonder if photographers still make actors do the same poses.
“it was love at first sign”.
Arabian night movies and sword and sandals movies in general were unrealistic and stupid.
She certainly comes across as an egomaniac but then again what movie star isn’t?
Her child was not a newborn!
She was famous for her beauty, not her talent. Queen of Technicolor and lawsuits.
Probably had taken drugs before bath.
She doesn't seem likable on a personal level. She seems too self absorb.
I can no luv a tif!
I’d see her movies for a laugh! Spastic dance after “ King Cobra! I have spoken!” No classical features! Get some intelligent friends together and have a good laugh!
