Joanna Kerns
Her real name is Joanne Crussie DeVarona. According to IMDB she is of mixed Mexican-Amercan/Irish descent and is a role-model to many Chicano/Latino youths for her respect and desire to honor and remember her Latino roots. She is most widely known for her portrayal of Maggie Seaver in Growing Pains, a popular ABC sitcom which ran from 1985 to 1992. She appeared in a handful of big-screen films and has many made-for-TV movies to her credit.

There is Ruben Amaro Jr too.

Ruben Amaro Sr and Jr., Jorge Orta and the Hairston brothers (Scott and Jerry).

Unfortuntely, Jessica Alba is so ashamed of her father's heritage that she herself has said she does not consider herself Latina. She should change her name to Jessica Smith. She is an embarassment to all Proud Latinos such as myself!

that's not true.

she is raising her child to speak the 2 languages, Spanish and English and to take an interest in their origins. Something that she had no access to their parents.

And What some fight a lot here on CD, which practically forget their origin and fully embrace as Americans. And now is wrong? Quien los entiende!

My Grandmother was born in Mexico, when my Great-Great Grandfather moved his family to Mexico to stay married to his 2 wives, after polygamy was banned in United States. No one ever believes me that my family is from Mexico. My Grandmother speaks some Spanish, she came back to Utah to go to high school, and stayed here.

You don't know because they are very little, if at all really. They are not like the Hispanics living in Mexico.

Romneys Grandpaarents denounced their US Citizenship and moved to Mexico to practice Polygamy. What is unclear is, did they reenter the US Legally
