Elizabeth Peña's Quotes

[on her refusal to portray Latina stereotypes] There are a lot of jobs I've turned down because they wanted me to play what I call "Miss Cuchifrito" types.
I worked very hard to get Jacob's Ladder (1990). At first they wanted Susan Sarandon, Andie MacDowell or Michelle Pfeiffer. At some point they wanted Susan Sarandon, and Madonna wanted the part. They auditioned all of them. I begged to be auditioned. I begged and begged and when I auditioned, the chemistry was right an [director Adrian Lyne] and I were just taken with each other. I auditioned for six months, twice a week. The reason I kept going back was because Adrian was literally fighting for me to get the role.
