Personal Quote:
There was nobody that I could look up and say "That's somebody like me". Which is probably why I'm now known in my community as 'La Pionera', or the Pioneer. I really don't think of myself as a role model. But it turns out that I am to a lot of the Hispanic community. Not just in show business, but in life. But that's what happens when you're first, right? See more »Trivia:
