Penn's Co-Star - Imbecile on Politics

Posted Mar 2nd 2009 8:45AM by TMZ Staff

Maria Conchita Alonso, who co-starred with Sean Penn way back in 1988's "Colors," went off on Penn in a way we've rarely seen -- basically saying he's a moron when it comes to politics -- especially his support of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The Cuban born actress was raised in Venezuela and says Chavez is a "killer."

Maria Conchita Alonso to Guest on 'Housewives'

Posted Jan 19th 2006 12:03PM by TMZ Staff

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gabrielle's mom, to be played by Maria Conchita Alonso, is paying a visit to "Desperate Housewives."

In an episode tentatively scheduled for Feb. 19 on ABC, Alonso will play Lucia, who drops in on her daughter after leaving the latest in a string of husbands, the network said.

Gabrielle is played by Eva Longoria.

Lucia has been referred to previously by Gabrielle -- and not in the most loving way -- but hasn't been seen until now.

"She's extremely ecstatic and she loves the role," said Alonso's publicist, Rona Menashe. "She watches the show and loves it."

Alonso, who's filming the episode this week, made her U.S. movie debut in "Moscow on the Hudson" in 1984, playing opposite Robin Williams. Her other films include "The House of the Spirits" and "Chasing Papi," and she has appeared on stage and in TV series including "Kingpin."

The Cuban-born Alonso, who was raised in Venezuela and was a beauty pageant winner, also is a Grammy Award-nominated singer.
