Ha. Just went to check this story out and came upon a quote of her talking about how long the make up took because she had such persistent freckles everywhere, and that they gave her dark contacts to cover up the blue eyes. Kind of impressive that so few people know about this.

I'm torn. On the one hand she was the perfect choice for the roll, on the other it is pretty sketchy to cast a white actor for a non-white roll. I mean, why didn't they just change her name/character to a white woman instead of being dead set on her being Latina?

"toofab: Now that there's all this talk about diversity in film - do you think you would be cast as Vasquez today?

Jenette: Hmm. No. I mean, people with Jewish last names are Latino, like my son is Pablo. Pablo Goldstein. He's Mexican-Jewish. So you don't want to stereotype what Hollywood thinks is Latino.

But there should be, obviously, roles available in a wide range of ethnicities, I think. You know, at the time, they were looking for an actress who was big and muscular, and they were wanting to cast a bodybuilder because they didn't think there were any actresses who had, you know, a physique that they wanted.

And so that was a big part of what they were looking for, and they were kind of shocked that there was a trained actress who actually had the physique.

You know what? I tell you the truth: I have never been cast, or given the opportunity to audition for a short, freckle-faced Jewish girl who is half-Russian and half-Moroccan and Brazilian. So, I don't think I would work very much if that's all I was able to read for."

ayrt

Nice. I didn't come upon that one in my quick search. She seems like she's as awesome and badass as her character, which is pretty cool.
