We are just filled with love on this one. Today Constance Marie joins us on the mic. You Might Know Her From Selena, George Lopez, Undone, My Family/Mi Familia, American Family, Switched at Birth, Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders, Puss in Boots, and the new Amazon series With Love. We just had a ball with Constance talking about her charming new series With Love, which features a predominantly Latinx cast and queer storylines. Plus we get into her beginnings as a break dancer on tour with David Bowie (and in films like Breakin' 2), and donning the now iconic wig to play Marcella Quintanilla in the Selena biopic...despite being Jennifer Lopez's peer. We also got to talk about being part of landmark projects for Latinx folks, learning American Sign Language for her role in Switched at Birth, and being animated in Undone. This one was a total delight. Be careful spinning on your heads on cardboard, babes!
