THE LAT PACK

Re “Hispanic Hollywood,” the question that Gregg Barrios should ask is not whether every Latin performer who passed through Hollywood is included in the book but why it has taken so long for such a book to finally be published? I am a member of HAMAS and NOSOTROS and an actor, and can only wonder if we are not still what Life magazine once called “the invisible minority.”

I bought “Hispanic Hollywood” twice--in English and in Spanish--and I am grateful that, thanks to this book, we are now a little less invisible. . . .
