Rosie Perez

Rosie Perez was born to Lydia Perez (a merchant marine) in Bushwick, Brooklyn. She is of Puerto Rican descent. Rosie was educated at Grover Cleveland High School, Ridgewood, Queens, New York. Then she attended Los Angeles City College, Los Angeles, California. Rosie Perez, who was in her second year of college was about to move to New York. Her friends had given her an elopement party. The moment Spike Lee proposed that she work in his movie Do the Right Thing (1989), she accepted. This was her first major acting role. She was later nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Carla Rodrigo (Peter Weir’s Fearless 1993). The Academy Award went to Anna Paquin, for The Piano (1993). The Latin community was the cause of most of my criticism in the beginning of my career. I can remember people taking me out to lunch and saying to me "Can you attend lessons to tone down your accent?" Or "Can you be funny and loud during a talk show?" My voice was a constant source of criticism. I tried to change my voice. My voice was something I couldn't bear to change. I am grateful that my octaves fell as I became older. Today, I am enthralled to see a 16-year-old come up and mimics me.Boxing is about conquering your fears. Boxing is more than just fighting for your self. Floyd Mayweather could be punched. Straight shot in his middle. Floyd Mayweather wouldn't blink. And I'm aware of what he's doing. (Who has mentioned Don Cornelius's fascination with her dancing]: Don Cornelius was not interested in seeing me actually dance. I was doing hip-hop and it was not a style that was familiar to Californians. They were only comfortable with locking and popping, so hip-hop dancing wasn't something they wanted to learn. Don was just like "No, no. You're one of us. I thought"What? This is a bit bizarre. It's really bizarre.
