LATIN LOVERS

Apologies for my unannounced hiatus. A string of high-stress auditions inevitably lead to a summer cold. But I have no complaints; a weekend of hard work booked me a job and got me signed with a new agency. To my surprise and amazement, my auditioning for bi-lingual roles has people convinced I'm of Latin decent. One look at my Scottish father and their jaws would hit the floor, but as long as I've got 'em fooled, I'll run with it. Of course, the goal is not to be pigeon-holed, but the following actresses used their Latin roots to their advantage, without getting stuck in a niche genre.

Rita Hayworth, Spanish

Raquel Welsh, Bolivian

Rita Moreno, Puerto Rican

Penelope Cruz, Spanish
