Born in New Jersey and raised in New York, her parents, who opened off-Broadway's Latin American Theatre Ensemble, were more than encouraging. Elizabeth attended NY's High School of the Performing Arts and found occasional work in repertory theatre and in television commercials. Her film debut in the independent Spanish-speaking feature El Super (1979) started her on a long line of feisty, rebellious characters that showed plenty of attitude. During the early 80s she played everything from a knife-threatening waitress to a disco queen as she waited for her big break. That big break came in the form of the hugely successful comedy film Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986) co-starring Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfuss and Nick Nolte, in which she stole many scenes as the sultry, politically-minded maid Carmen who lusts for Nolte. This propelled her to move to Los Angeles where she continued to spice up both the big and small screen, including the part of Ritchie Valens' stepsister-in-law in the well-received biopic La Bamba (1987). Honors also came by Elizabeth's way when she received the Independent Spirit and Bravo awards for the film Lone Star (1996) and the ALMA Award for Tortilla Soup (2001). On TV she hasn't found the one series role to thrust her front and center. Co-starring roles in "Tough Cookies," "I Married Dora" and "Shannon's Deal" were short-lived. She is married and has two children, hide |
