You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mona Rico''' (born '''Enriqueta de Valenzuela''';
July 15, 1907 — July 15, 1994) was a Mexico-born American actress. Her films include ''[[Eternal Love (1929 film)|Eternal Love]]'' (1929), ''[[Shanghai Lady]]'' (1929), ''A Devil With Women (1930)'', and ''[[Zorro Rides Again]]'' (1937).

==Career==
Born Enriqueta de Valenzuela, she came to Hollywood from Mexico City at the age of 19 in April 1928 and secured a five-year acting contract.<ref name="tt">((cite news |title=Another Mexican Actress Wins Way Into Movie Role |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tulsa-tribune-mona-rico/124614838/ |access-date=May 14, 2023 |work=The Tulsa Tribune |agency=United Press |date=September 9, 1928 |page=27|via = [[Newspapers.com]]))</ref> Her first role of significance came opposite [[John Barrymore]] as the third lead in a United Artists motion picture, ''[[Eternal Love (1929 film)|Eternal Love]]''. It was reported that she was sitting in the casting room of the studio when a girl's hands were needed in a film test being made by [[Ernst Lubitsch]]. She was sent to Lubitsch and, after her hands were recorded, he made an entire test of her. The following day she obtained her contract. She was cast as a Spanish dancing girl in ''Shanghai Lady''.

==Personal life==
Rico became an American citizen at age 23.((Citation needed |date=May 2023)) She married wealthy sportsman James N. Crofton, part-owner of the Agua Caliente Club resort in Baja, California, on October 19, 1932.<ref name=":0">((cite news |title=Mona Rico Will Press Plea for Alimony Today |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-los-angeles-times-mona-rico/124615480/ |access-date=May 14, 2023 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=April 3, 1933 |page=17|via = [[Newspapers.com]] ))</ref>

On July 13, 1932, Rico was with Crofton on a plane which crashed near Mexico City. The pilot/airline owner was killed and Rico was injured.<ref>((cite news |title=Air crash reveals Crofton marriage |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1932/07/15/archives/air-crash-reveals-crofton-marriage-widow-of-pilot-killed-in-mexico.html?searchResultPosition=1 |access-date=May 14, 2023 |work=The New York Times |agency=Associated Press |date=July 15, 1932 |page=10|url-access=subscription))</ref> Rico filed suit for separate maintenance in March 1933 and asked for a sum of $2,000 monthly from Crofton.

In the action, Rico stated she was a motion picture actress who earned $375 per week before the wedding. However, she was no longer able to make her living as an actress because of facial injuries sustained in the airplane crash.<ref name=":0" /> The proceedings were later withdrawn, and a reconciliation was followed by a second honeymoon to Hawaii.

In October 1933 it was rumored that Crofton had established residence in [[Reno, Nevada]] to obtain a divorce. He denied this, saying that he was in Reno for a business trip and planned to visit Rico in [[San Diego, California]], afterward.((Citation needed |date=May 2023))

On October 18, 1933, Rico obtained a divorce decree in San Diego. She charged cruelty and was awarded $500 a month alimony.<ref>((cite news |title=Divorce to Mona Rico.
