Other successful projects include her touring musical Aventurera.
In 1956, Salinas and spouse Pedro Plascencia gave birth to a son, Pedro Plascencia Salinas.

In an interview conducted with El Universal in March 2015, Salinas declared that she "had been a priísta ever since [she] had the use of reason".
In 2015, the PRI placed Salinas on its proportional representation list for election from the fourth electoral region, winning her a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for the LXIII Legislature of the Mexican Congress; Salinas serves on the Gender Equality, Radio and Television, and Health Commissions. Salinas, who only completed primary school, has the lowest educational level of all of the deputies in the legislature.
