They forgot one....Marisa Tomei in "The Perez Family." I watched that movie to write a paper in school. Don't even get me started on people who are not Latino that use fake Latino accents.
I worked with this non-Latina when I was a teenager who tried to dress and speak like a gangmember, complete with all the "orale ese" and "ju know"s and the whole nine. Finally I asked her what her background was, and she asked why. I said, "because you have a really strong Spanish accent."
I know most Latinos are embarrased by gangmembers, so I have no idea why someone of another background would want to emulate them, fake accent and all.
