I started my entertainment career as a Mexican Folk dancer. I was in a movie called Losin’ It with Tom Cruise and Jackie Earl Haley before they hit it big. I played Rosa opposite Christopher Reeves in Summer and Smoke at the Ahmanson. I met my husband, Enrique Castillo doing my very first play—Zoot Suit—and, I was in the pilot season of Beverly Hills 90210 in a recurring role that never recurred. Then I left it all to start Latin Heat.
