Stephanie Beatriz – "Nine-Nine Characters but a Latina (Usually) Ain't One"
In the first season finale of Hollywood Remixed, the Rebeccas turn the spotlight on the most disproportionately underrepresented onscreen demographic: Latinas. While they constitute about 20 percent of American women in real life, on television they represent 7 percent of women with dialogue (and just 2.8 percent of speaking characters overall). Film hasn't fared much better – two-thirds of the 1,200 highest-grossing movies from the past dozen years were entirely devoid of Latina characters. Fortunately, peak TV has yielded not just more Latinas on the small screen, but a more heterogenous array of them. In honor of our episode guest, Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz, we run down the growing group of queer Latinas on television, and Beatriz discusses the responsibility she feels to represent the intersection of two communities.
