#Quote
1I worked very hard to get Jacob's Ladder (1990). At first, they wanted Susan Sarandon, Andie MacDowell or Michelle Pfeiffer. At some point, they wanted Susan Sarandon, and Madonna wanted the part. They auditioned all of them. I begged to be auditioned. I begged and begged and when I auditioned, the chemistry was right and Adrian [Lyne] and I were just taken with each other. I auditioned for six months, twice a week. The reason I kept going back was because Adrian was literally fighting for me to get the role.
2(on her refusal to portray Latin stereotypes) There are a lot of jobs I've turned down because they wanted me to play what I call "Miss Cuchifrito" types.
#Fact
1Was cremated and ashes scattered at the sea.
2Had two children with Hans Rolla: Fiona and Kaelan Rolla.

4Daughter of Estella Margarita and Mario Peña.
5She was a founding member of the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors.
6Despite playing her mother on Modern Family (2009), Peña was just 13 years older than Sofía Vergara.
7Attended and graduated from Manhattan's High School for the Performing Arts in 1977.
