Latina actress Maria Conchita Alonso out of play over support of Tea Party candidate

A San Francisco arts organization has parted ways with a well-known Latina actress, who was to star in its rendition of “The Vagina Monologues,” after the thespian appeared in a political ad with a California Tea Party lawmaker who is running for governor.

“We really can’t have her in the show, unfortunately,” Eliana Lopez, the producer, told KPIX 5 of Maria Conchita Alonso’s resignation on Friday from the cast of Brava! For Women in the Arts’ upcoming Spanish performance of the Eve Ensler play.

“Of course she has the right to say whatever she wants. But we’re in the middle of the Mission. Doing what she is doing is against what we believe.”

Several Latino organizations have criticized Alonso -- a former Miss Venezuela who gained Hollywood fame for hits like “The Running Man,” and “Moscow on the Hudson” -- for endorsing Tim Donnelly, a California State Assemblyman from San Bernardino.

And hot, too.

She looked mighty good coming out of Nick Nolte's shower in Extreme Prejudice.

She isn't on Twitter, but there is a fan page for her.  I guess she doesn't like the socialist/communist dictators down south like Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela.  Sounds like enough reason for Hollywood to blacklist her.
