Interview with a Beauty Queen
Hey, guys!! If you’ve been reading my blog on 24, you know that I had a last minute family thing which kept me from posting this afternoon. To make up for it, I have this. It’s an interview with Maria Conchita Alonso. I know y’all remember her! She played Gabby’s mom a little while back on the show. Here’s a little rundown and some comments on the interview:
She’s co-starring in the new Lifetime movie Maneater that premiered the other day (keep your eyes open. Lifetime loves to milk these things…). She plays the mother of Clarissa (Sarah Chalke from Roseanne and Scrubs) who’s like a Paris Hilton without the criminal record who won’t even admit her true age. Alonso’s character steps in (along with Clarissa’s father) to try and help her find a good man since Clarissa is freaking a little about being in her 30’s and with no ring on her finger. There’s another Housewives connection to this movie, by the way. Marla Sokoloff plays one of Clarissa’s good friends, who is also in on the hunt for a guy. You might remember her as the the nanny Lynette sent packing after Tom accidently saw a little too much of her.
It was a really nice interview that touched on her past as a beauty queen, her thoughts on roles for Hispanic women in Hollywood and her thoughts on the President’s meeting with a certain leader she’s not too fond of. Enjoy and let me know what you think of the interview as well! See ya later.
