María Conchita Alonso

María Conchita Alonso is one of those performers who somehow managed to do everything — beauty queen, pop singer, film actress, Broadway star — and pull it all off with real flair. Growing up in Venezuela after leaving Cuba, she won Miss World Teenager and eventually made her way to Hollywood, where she became one of the most recognizable Latina faces of the 1980s. Her chemistry with Robin Williams in Moscow on the Hudson is genuinely charming, and she held her own against Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Running Man, which is no small feat. Her Latin pop albums were legitimate hits in the Spanish-speaking world. She's fiercely outspoken politically, which has earned her both admirers and detractors, but you can't say she plays it safe. A multi-hyphenate who carved her own lane long before that was a marketing buzzword.
