Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

As an actress, she won three trophies from five nominations on the Ariel Awards, and an additional Gold Ariel for her career in 1986.[1] She was also the recipient of various accolades from Diosa de Plata Awards by the Mexican Film Journalists Association (PECIME). Her actoral career was also recognized by the National Association of Actors (ANDA), Association of Latin Entertainment Critics (Latin ACE), and by the Cinematheque of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In addition, a Diosa de Plata for Best Actress was named after her since 2002, and she became part of their Golden Book (Libro de Oro).[2] María also received tributes in a number of festivals.[3]

Outside of her work in cinema, she won accolades for her fashion and image. She was named Best Dressed Woman of 1984 by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. During the 1970s,[4] she won various equestrian awards, including Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris, Jockey Club's Grand French and Irish Derby, and the Prix Round Point.[5] She was also condecorated by the French government in 1996 with the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and Legion of Honour in 2000, and by then president of México Carlos Salinas de Gortari in 1989 with the first Mexico City Prize (Presea de la Ciudad de México).
