I am a lover of Sci Fi movies. In the last year, I started noticing how MANY Latinas were actresses or supporting actresses in these films of old, especially 1940-1970. Then I started noticing Latinas in other movies as well.

Please add Latinas to this project of all occupations.

I made a sub category on the Women of Hispanic Heritage overview for actresses just to make it easier.

We'll keep adding more sub-categories...

I think what makes it especially interesting is how many aren't remembered as being Latina because they Anglicized their names or tried to cover up their physical attributes, especially in the B&W era. When I added Rita Hayworth, I wondered if many people even knew she was Latina.

Cameron Diaz is another case like that. Everyone focuses on the hair and eyes and forgets that she strongly identifies with her half-Latina heritage, especially because she grew up in SoCal's Mexican culture.

Or the fact that many in the Golden Age were forced to act in secondary or supporting roles.
