| Introduction | Born in Manhattan but raised in the South Bronx, I've been playing Maria on Sesame Street for over thirty-five years. The world has changed quite a bit since I was first cast. At that time, there were few Latins on television, and few mainstream Americans knew about us. Now the general public is ranting and raving about how there are too many Latins in America, and sadly,questioning some Latinos right to be here. |
| Interests | Acting on Sesame Street introduced me to writing, and I a now write childrens books. I love traveling the county, giving speeches. |
| Favorite Books | Selfishly, the one's I've written. No Dogs Allowed! and A Box Full Of Kittens. (Simon and Schuster, publishers). |
