Se Habla Español is a book written in English that lavishly illustrates the history of the Hispanic influence and contribution to Hollywood films, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, and has become a rare collectible edition that combines art and history.
The book establishes the Hispanic Hollywood Hall of Fame created by the authors, and the introduction is by the famous actor Ricardo Montalbán. The book sheds light on key periods that define the rich, constant, and essential contributions of Hispanics to the world of filmmaking. The dreaded bandido and the swaggering Latin Lover, the sexy bombshells and the award-winning Hispanic actors, they all get a red-carpet treatment in the pages of Hollywood…Se Habla Español.
The author, writer, producer, and documentary filmmaker Rafael Rivera-Viruet, takes us on a journey from Hollywood’s earliest days when Latinos played a vital role in movie-making. The combination of science and technology has shaped this new art form, which has influenced every aspect of modern society since its inception, giving audiences glitter, lights, fantasy, and dreams.
Latinos have embraced this new art form with the same enthusiasm and gusto as Hollywood itself, and have given Hollywood lore some of its hottest lovers, the meanest villains, alongside powerful acting performances and dramatic personal sagas.
