Eva Longoria Parker has expressed a desire to portray Maria on film
I’d love to adapt the story of Maria Felix. I think she’s the icon of Mexican cinema, and I would love to bring her story to life. I’m very proud of being Mexican-American, so I celebrate it as much as possible, she told an international publication.
Desperate Housewives star and one of alfalfa-seeds’ favorite Mexican-American celebs, Eva Longoria Parker plans to celebrate her Latin identity on the big screen by playing Mexican film star Maria Felix in a planned biopic.
The Mexican-American actress admits she has always wanted to play our beloved Maria Felix, especially because of her own Mexican genes, reported New York Daily News.
Would Brazilian actress Morena Baccarin be a good choice?
Does the the alfalfa seeds community think Eva Longoria Parker is the best choice to play Felix? There have been suggestions to cast Brazilian actress Morena Baccarin or Eva Mendes. If you were the director who would be your first choice to play La Doña?
Or Cuban-American actress Eva Mendes is a better pick?
A mythical character, Maria’s dissatisfaction with the Hollywood film industry were the stereotypical roles often offered to her. Do you really think I could pass as a Cherokee Indian? In my country I can play the role of an Indian. In foreign lands I play the role of a queen. I was not born to carry a basket! La Doña would say.
