There's
a new Latina on TV and she is a hit!
Cristela
Alonzo made history this past Friday, October 10, 2014, by being the first
Latina to create, produce, write and star in her own primetime comedy
show. "Cristela" (the show) debut
to 6.6 million viewers and rave reviews from audiences of all backgrounds. It's a funny, loving show about family,
fulfilling your dreams, getting ahead and being a strong modern woman. We are very excited about this new show and
its portrayal of a modern Mexican family living in the heart of Texas.
But
Cristela isn't the first Latina on television, and certainly not the last. Below is a fun list of 14 other Latinos on
television. How many do you know? We welcome additions to this list. --mcf
