"Hispanics in Hollywood: An Encyclopedia of Film and Television is the personal story of the Hispanic men and women who have made movies and movie history both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. It is more than jsut the story of a group of talented individuals who helped turn a sleepy town of orange groves into a universal symbol for film. It is also the story of the American dream and society's changing values and attitudes. Above all, it is the story of courage and determination in the face of prejudice, ignorance, and ethnic stereotyping. Movie buffs and the general reader will find Hispanics in Hollywood hard to put down. Following forewords by Academy award winners Rita Moreno and Anthony Quinn, the book covers the history of Hispanics in Hollywood, including a complete A-to-Z listing of motion pictures; a guide to Hispanics on network television; a special section on Zorro and the Cisco Kid; and biographies of Hispanic actors, actresses, directors, producers, and other behind-the-scenes people. Hispanics in Hollywood is lavishly illustrated with black and white photographs and movie posters sekected from co-author Luis Reyes's personal collection."--Jacket.
