Could Mexican film icon Maria Felix have made it big in Hollywood? Obviously she lacked neither talent nor beauty, but she complained that Hollywood only offered her "Indian" roles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_F%C3%A9lix does mention some opportunities she turned down...
 
She started late, born in 1914, she didn't become a star of a film until 1942 (per the article you've cited) after turning down Cecil B's offer to make her a star (in Hollywood). It sounds like she wasn't as interested in making it big in Hollywood as you are.
