In 1942 Alfredo Mayo, aged 31, and "Malvaloca" costar 17-year-old Amparito Rivelles became engaged and were about to marry. Amparitos mother, actress Mara Fernanda Ladrn de Guevara, was firmly against it. Only 5 days before the wedding Amparo decided not to go on. " Ive followed my mothers advice and I wont be married so young", she declared. "Furthermore, Alfredo is such a handsome man that I would be always jealous beside him. He has been my first and only official boyfriend, but the wedding has been suspended five days before it takes place. And I dont regret it".
