Emma Padilla (March 8, 1900 – July 2, 1966) was Mexico's first film star.
She was noted for her resemblance to, and copying the mannerisms of, Italian film star Pina Menichelli, particularly in La luz (1917), which was essentially a copy of the successful Italian film Il Fuoco (1915) starring Menichelli.Shohat, Ella and Robert Stam (eds.)
