just me wanting to bring back to life 1950's actors (again) ✨🤍
hello there, here procrastinating thinking why i believe maría félix & gary cooper could be a great personification of carchase in real life. so this is me explaining the similarities between two of my favourite actors and my otp. don't take this so seriously im just having fun ^^
𖹭 physical features
maría félix has a beautiful fluffy dark hair that reminds a lot of woeics carmen's iconic deep jet black hair, along with this, maría's outfits usually had volume on the shoulders and were super tight on the waist, highlighting her body shape. one of her biggest signatures was the elegant mystery she evocated. in some movies she can be seen with elegant jewellery, gloves and big hats <3
and gary, well just look at him! <3 cooper has deep clear eyes, a piercing gaze but dreamy look. he was a tall man and physically imposing but really reserved and calm in every situation, pretty much stoic. out of western he was been seen in elegant suits in almost all his career, with a masculine elegance and impeccable manners he is seen until now as one of the biggest gentlemen of hollywood.
𖹭 (on screen) personality
maría félix often played the strong-willed woman in most of her movies, sometimes being an infamous vile dame with space for redemption —or death and sometimes a mere victim of her circumstances. however, she is a great representation of the perfect femme fatale: manipulative, ambitious, deadly seductive and far ahead clever. an hedonistic diva committing crimes or justice for her sake and her beloved ones.
gary cooper was the goodness man, representing a new type of the american hero in his movies, highlighting one of his most characteristic traits: his incorruptibility. he has starring many different types of movies, having a versatile style of acting, most of them in the western genre but also exploring how can be the story as a moral man, a loyal gentleman, a militar officer and of course the role of the handsome white knight. actually the antithesis of maría's antihero/villain character ;)
𖹭 hobbys
maría félix is very known for her glamorous lifestyle, enjoying self-care, yoga and literature.
art collector & appreciator
fashion icon
international travelling
horse riding
gary cooper enjoyed to spend his free time on outdoors activities, along with the silence and nature.
art (specifically painting)

sports (horse riding)
car collector
𖹭 other things
maría had several romances (tose alv* some of them french men ^^). she starred a film as a double agent and spy in the movie mare nostrum. maría and carmen are both latinas (mexico and argentina respectively) maría was a cultured woman who loved art and historic artefacts, she lived for her career, doing what her role required, learning to dance, different languages, traditions and empathising with other cultures around the world.
she rejected hollywood twice to film movies in france, morocco, spain, italy, argentina, brazil and her beloved mexico, always with an expensive taste and proudly representing the elegance of the latinamerican woman, a queen (thief) of hearts.
gary cooper was a man with his own perceptions of living, knowing the rules before breaking them. after an exhaust period of filming 10 movies in two years he left hollywood and lived a season in europe, when he returned, he was ready to deal with this new upcoming fame. he was also a proper lady's gentleman, pretty popular with foreign women and object of admiration around the cinema community.
cooper had a weak point for loyalty, he was devoted to his friends and family, being humble and kind, he loved domestic animals and was a great hunter. like chase :0 he was extremely compromised with his career, always observing people, learning about them in silence and investigating all he need to do the best job.
so, see something familiar? 😏
