Lupita Tovar is a Mexican actress, best known for her starring role in the 1931 Spanish language version of Dracula, filmed in Los Angeles by... Universal Pictures at night using the same sets as the Bela Lugosi version, but with a different cast and director. Born as Guadalupe Tovar, in Matías Romero, Oaxaca, Mexico, Tovar was discovered by documentary filmmaker Robert Flaherty of Fox Film studios while acting in a school play in Mexico City, Mexico. She came to Hollywood in 1929 and a perusal of her lessons at the time reflects how serious she was in her attitude. Her weekly schedule included guitar, two hours four days, Spanish dances, one hour three days, dramatics, one-half hour two days, and English, one hour every day. Her accent was considered an asset in talking motion pictures. Lupita's English improved significantly in just seven months from the time she arrived in Hollywood in January 1929. At first she could not say good morning in English. Her improvement owed much to her frequenting talkies, and learning new words and how to say them by reading voraciously. In 1930, she was mentioned for leads in two talkies starring Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.
