Lupé Amador is listed among the members of Chicon, the 1940 Worldcon. Forrest J Ackerman described her in Voice of the Imagi-Nation 10 (November 1940, p. 3):

MEXICAN SPITFIRE: Hot Enchilady is Lupé Amador, the señorita who works (when she isnt thinking of RoberTaylor) at the Ampas (Acad. Motion Pic. Arts & Sciences) & is always after my heart—-with a knife! Lupé professes to hate science fiction & expresses her disapproval by bedeviling me at the office. She pours perfume on me, snips my hair, calls me "Rat Face" & periodicly hides my briefcase. When we had a nu-typ lithograf plate to test one day, I took a grease pencil & rote (as U see on the back of this ish) VOICE OF THE IMAGI-NATION, inten­ding to blurb a bit about our superb hit, etc. When I returnd from a call to the fone, however (¿saaay, I wonder if Loop arranged that?—-wait'll I see her mañana), I found...well, U see for yourself. The funny part was, Looner-Dooper in her haste originly had ritten "is a one." "A-1!" I exclaimd; "y, gracias, Lupé!" Then she erased the "a". The other day, because I laft when she dropt her lipstick she came & slasht me on the neck with it. A little later, she laft when I dropt my knife... 4e.

As this VOM was published November 24, 1940, and Chicon was in September, it seems unlikely that Lupé, if she was a real person at all, either attended or acquired her own membership. In that context, at least, she was one of the many Forrynyms.
