==Early life== {{more citations needed|date=April 2018}} María de los Ángeles Félix Güereña was born in [[Álamos]], [[Sonora]], Mexico, on 8 April 1914. Her birth was registered on May 4, which was later misreported as her date of birth.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ancestrylibrary.com/interactive/60406/004886025_00458?pid=675605&backurl=http://search.ancestrylibrary.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=zCB20&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&gss=angs-g&new=1&rank=1&gsfn=%2520Maria%2520de%2520Los%2520Angeles&gsfn_x=0&gsln=%2520Felix%2520Guere%25C3%25B1a&gsln_x=0&msbdy=1914&msbpn__ftp=Mexico&catbucket=rstp&MSAV=1&uidh=57k&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=675605&dbid=60406&indiv=1&ml_rpos=3&usePUB=true&_phsrc=zCB20&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true|title=Ancestry Library Edition|website=www.ancestrylibrary.com}}</ref> She was the daughter of Bernardo Félix Flores, a military officer and politician who was of distant [[Yaqui]] descent, and Josefina Güereña Rosas, who grew up in the U.S. state of California; both were of Mexican ancestry. She had fifteen siblings: Josefina, María de la Paz, Pablo, Bernardo, Miguel, María de las Mercedes, Fernando, Victoria Eugenia, Ricardo, Benjamín and Ana María del Sacramento.<ref name="de10">{{cite web|url=https://de10.com.mx/top-10/maria-felix-10-datos-intimos-de-la-diva-del-cine-mexicano|title=Maria Felix: 10 datos intimos de la diva del cine mexicano|last=Mejia|first=Carolina|date=8 April 2019 |publisher=El Universal de10.mx|language=es|trans-title=Maria Felix: 10 intimate facts about the diva of Mexican Cinema}}</ref> She spent her childhood in Álamos. During her childhood, she had a close relationship with her brother Pablo. Her mother separated the two siblings, thinking they might be involved in an incestuous relationship.<ref>Documental María Félix – Director [[Arturo Pérez Velasco]] – Editorial Clio [[Enrique Krauze]]</ref> For that reason, Pablo was sent to the Colegio Militar, in Mexico City.<ref name="de10"/> Later, the Félix family moved to [[Guadalajara]]. When María was 17, her beauty soon began to attract attention. She was crowned Beauty Queen at the University of Guadalajara. It was at this time that she met Enrique Álvarez Alatorre, a salesman for the cosmetics firm [[Max Factor]]. After a brief romance, the couple married in 1931. In 1935, Félix gave birth to her only child, Enrique, nicknamed ''Quique''. Her marriage with Álvarez was unsuccessful and the couple divorced in 1937. After her divorce, Félix returned to Guadalajara with her family, where she was the subject of gossip and rumors due to her status as a divorcée. Because of this situation, Félix decided to move to Mexico City with her son.<ref name="debayle" >{{cite web|url=https://www.marthadebayle.com/v3/radiov3/joijoroi/los-amores-de-maria-felix/|title=Los amores de Maria Felix|publisher=Martha Debayle.com|language=es|trans-title=The loves of Maria Felix|date=December 31, 2018|access-date=June 1, 2019}}</ref> In Mexico City, she worked as a receptionist in a plastic surgeon's office, and lived in a guest house. One day, the father of her son visited the child, and deliberately refused to give the boy back to his mother. Álvarez took the child to Guadalajara. Félix's son was recovered with the help of [[Agustín Lara]], her second husband. They planned an elaborate recovery that tricked the grandmother and took the child.{{sfn|Félix|1993|loc=Vol. 1, pp. 74-5}}
