My Life in Pictures: Which Latino Stars Deserve Biopics?

La Lupe & Celia Cruz
You want drama? How about a contrast between theses two Cuban divas? Both emigrated to the U.S., both became huge singing stars in the 70s. But while Cruz latched on to salsa, which was then exploding as a genre, and went on to become a beloved worldwide star, La Lupe stayed behind musically and then had numerous personal tragedies (including a failed marriage, financial fleecing by associates, a house fire, homelessness). Thousands came to Cruz’s funeral and La Lupe found her own kind of redemption as a preacher.
Who should play them: Gina Torres as Celia Cruz, as Zoe Saldana as La Lupe
