Eva Interview
Is there anything you wish you could change about your appearance?
Absolutely nothing. God blessed me with some great, unique features—some beautiful, in my eyes, and some not so beautiful. But I think we are all created this way for a reason, so I have no desire to tamper with that.
What do you think about the rise in the number of roles for Latinos in Hollywood, is the progress real or temporary?
There are opportunities for Latinos now more than ever. Has there been a Latin explosion? No. We’re so underrepresented as far as reflecting our society accurately. We did go up from 2% in film and television to 5% this year. But we are 13% of the population, so there is still a big lack of representation there, although I think we are headed in the right direction.
What do you think about stereotypical roles like the Hot Tamale or the Latin Lover? Are they detrimental to our people or should we be worrying about more important things?
I don’t think they’re detrimental. It’s great to be represented in any way. Ricardo Montalban said something about that in the documentary The Brown Screen. He said, “What is wrong with being the Latin Lover? Why is that a bad stereotype? I consider that a compliment.” Same thing with Latinas always being cast as the sexy girl. It’s like, that’s a good thing! For instance, my role on LA Dragnet was a tough, smart, sexy cop, and that was a very positive role that I played and a positive image that I represented. So I think that you have both sides of it…there’s a lot of roles for Latinos, not only the stereotypical roles, because we Latinos are doctors and lawyers and cops. Latinos are a lot of things in real life, but unfortunately Latinos are also gangsters. Latinos are also maids, and Latinos are also gardeners in real life. So to accurately portray that is not a stereotype, it’s an accurate reflection. I think instead of Latinos complaining and going, “Oh, poor Latinos. Us poor Latinos. We are so underrepresented, we are so stereotyped,” what we should do is get out and do something about it. Write something about it that reflects what you think we should be portrayed as. Produce something that reflects what you think we should be portrayed as. Direct something, you know what I mean, instead of sitting back and waiting for these roles to happen. They are not going to happen on their own. We need to take charge and create opportunities for our own culture.
You've been married. What’s the toughest thing about being married?
Probably being selfless 100% of the time. You constantly have to think of the other person, whether you’re at the store buying groceries or whether you are making life changing decisions like going on a new show or moving or buying a house. You’re constantly thinking of what the other person would think and how the other person would feel and what the other person is doing. So it’s a very selfless life to live. You live for each other instead of for yourself. But in return you get so much by having a partnership.
What about trust and fidelity? Isn’t it hard for young, beautiful people to not stray, especially in Hollywood where there are lots of social events and tons of successful, attractive people coming on to each other all the time?
I think whether you are an actor, a doctor, a lawyer, a pilot, whatever you are, it’s going to be difficult. Because temptation is everywhere and as humans we are drawn to variety. To be with the same person for the rest of your life just sounds so drab. Because we are actors we are placed in front of other beautiful people, which may make it a little more tempting. But I think that it’s a character trait, not so much an occupational trait. If you’re a player you’re going to do it whether you’re an actor or not.
Does jealousy come into play?
No. I learned very young that jealousy is a waste of energy and the more you think about jealousy or act upon it, the more you create it.
But what if you were at a party and some hoochie was all over your man? That’s the other thing, you have to choose a partner that will not put themselves in that position. I believe it’s a vibe that a man gives off, of availability or interest. You put yourself in the position of temptation, it doesn’t just find you. You have to welcome it.
As far as Latinos here in the U.S., what do you think we need to do better?
I think Latinos need to unite. I find that we are a very competitive culture within ourselves. Puerto Ricans against Mexicans against Dominicans. This is a very scattered culture, unlike African-Americans who unite. And you see how far they’ve come in their movement. I think Latinos in general, politically, in entertainment, educationally—in every aspect of our society—need to unite and have one voice. Because if you have many voices, you just make noise.
You don’t think it’s hard for so many Latinos from totally different countries to unite?
I think Latinos in general all want the same thing. Because we say it in different words and with different voices, it doesn’t mean we are not trying to strive for the same thing. Why can’t we agree what we want to do with the power that we have? Because Latinos do have power in this nation, by being the largest minority group and having billions of dollars in spending power. I think if we can figure that out, figure out a positive way to utilize the power, we’ll advance a lot further in the community.
What final words do you have for Latino men across America?
From my standpoint as an actor, it would be to support and watch Latino projects. The only way that more Latinos will be on TV is if other Latinos watch. Instead of, like I said, sitting back and complaining, contribute by watching, by writing, and by supporting any shows that have Latino players, Latino characters, Latino writers, Latino directors. Support it, watch it, and be educated about it.

If you read the whole article (and even what's quoted here) you might notice a strong theme of her beleif in personal responisibilty, but without coming off as heartless or cruel. I think she shows herself to be a strong, determined and self-determined woman who also has a definate soft side. And yes, she likes fit active men, I think that fits her personality very well. I'm not fit or active (or a man) but I still
her.

I'm referring to the way she contradicts herself in that quote. First she says that any publicity is good publicity, then she turns around and dislikes being stereotyped as a Latina, and wants to write her own roles. I just think she's indecisive. (sp?)
If she wants her fellow latin brothers and sisters to empower themselves, I think she should have refrained from saying that
She's giving mixed messages to young people.

I don't think she's being contradictive at all. She's saying there's nothing intrinsically bad about being depicted as a latin lover or hot tamale or even maids or thugs or whatever, but that if people want to expand on those roles, they need to create new opportunities rather than complain about it.
The problem doesn't lie in Latina's playing maids or Tempresses, the only possible problem would be if those were the *only* roles available, and if that's the case, Latin Americans need to create roles that reflect their interpretation of who they are as a people and as individuals. Because if they don't- who will? Why should any ethnic group sit around and wait for some other ethnic group to do a better job of showing or defining them as they really are? They have to tell there own stories. And some of them will be stories about maids and thugs and hot mamma's; and others will be about doctors and accountants and teachers, cops, moms, whatever.
I think that if you think she contradicted herself, you missed her point. Because she said no, she doesn't think those roles are disempowering. (You may feel that they are, but since she doesn't, she's not contradicting herself). She said those who don't like it should create new characters and new stories rather than simply complaining. No mixed message.
