13. Selena Gomez
We’ve watched Selena grow from Disney’s Latina (wizard) next door to a woman establishing her career in Hollywood. It’s been a pretty incredible transformation, if we do say so ourselves.
14. Robert Rodriguez
Okay, we pretty much love this guy thanks to his determination to cast Latino actors in roles in his movies. Hollywood Reporter says, “Following his film debut with El Mariachi, Rodriguez has helped launch the film careers of several prominent Latino actors and actresses, including Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba. His insistence on casting a Latino family for the popular Spy Kids series built the first major theatrical family franchise featuring Latinos in heroic roles.”
