The Cameo
 Frida / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Ashley Judd, Antonio Banderas, Geoffrey Rush, Edward Norton, etc. They are all one or two scene wonders. Not to mention the legendary Chavela Vargas (who may or may not have had an affair with the real Frida Kahlo in her youth), singing one of her most famous songs, "La Llorona."

Adaptational Attractiveness
 Frida / int_557838d1
comment
Adaptational Attractiveness: A slight case. Kahlo wasn't ugly, but she certainly didn't look like Salma Hayek either. Yay! With a unibrow. Wha? And a thin but prominent mustache. You may hear many jokes about Alfred Molina being too handsome to portray Diego Rivera. Half of those are being serious.

Sexy Discretion Shot: Diego's womanizing in New York is conveyed by seeing him leave his and Frida's hotel with various women—at one point, he even leaves with two. At the end of his montage, it's Frida we see leaving the hotel with a woman, and for added benefit, she's one of those we saw with Diego earlier.

Amicable Exes: Diego's is amiable enough with his second wife Lupe to give her a place to stay as she searches for a job. Just as they were friends in real life, Lupe and Frida become a literal case of Amiable Exes of Diego, getting along and confiding in each other, during Frida's estrangement from Diego.

 Frida / int_a7601fd0
comment
Big Ol' Unibrow: Frida made a point of emphasizing her unibrow in all her self-portraits. This was mainly due to Kahlo's horrible self-esteem. In photographs, Kahlo's actually not bad looking, even with the unibrow. But in her self-portraits, Kahlo was notorious for putting emphasis on her uglier features, with her unibrow, mustache, and beauty mark getting special attention.

Exact Words: Frida's doctor insists she stays in bed. So for her first exhibition, she has the bed loaded onto a truck so she can attend. Frida doesn't expect Diego to be faithful, but she does expect him to be loyal. She has no problem with his affairs for the most part, but sleeping with her sister definitely crosses a line.
