Raquel Torres – Glamorously Playing with Sand at the Beach

Raquel Torres is a Mexican-born actress who had a very brief career in Hollywood. She received a promising acting start when she was cast as Fayaway in the 1928 film “White Shadows in the South Seas,” produced by W.S. Van Dyke. Since this was her first MGM work to include synchronized audio effects, music, and speech, this movie is still remembered to date.

However, things started going south after the actress married businessman Stephen Ames in 1935 and had to abandon her well-propelling career. When he passed away, Torres got married to Jon Hall, but their marriage quickly soured and ended in divorce.
