Lupe Ontiveros Has Passed Away
If there was ever a time to softly scream out "ayyyye, nooooo" while doing the slow wall slide, this is the time. Actress, activist and producer Lupe Ontiveros passed away last night in Los Angeles at the age of 69. Lupe was at the 2012 NALIP (National Association of Latino Independent Producers) a few months ago and many said she was in good spirits, so her passing is a shock to many. Examiner says that Lupe suffered from liver cancer.
Lupe (born name: Guadalupe Moreno) was born in El Paso, TX and got her degree in social work from Texas Women's University. Lupe met and married her husband in Texas and they later moved to California so that he could start up an automotive business. Lupe wasn't really into doing social work anymore and was about to go to school for nursing when she saw an ad in the paper asking for extras. Her acting career was born. One of Lupe's first major jobs was playing Dolores in the musical Zoot Suit which eventually went to Broadway before it was made into a movie. From there, she went on to play Rosalita the maid in The Goonies and one of the daughters in My Family. In the late 90s, Lupe killed a pre-JLo Jennifer Lopez in Selena and again played a maid in As Good As It Gets.
Lupe should've won all the Oscars for her performance in Storytelling where she played Consuelo, the quiet, sad, tortured and depressed maid who (SPOILER ALERT) gassed the entire asshole family she worked for. (That kid Mickey came from Lucifer's seed. True story.) Lupe also played Mama Solis in Desperate Housewives, Beverly in Chuck & Buck and America Ferrera's not the one mom in Real Women Have Curves.
In 2002, Lupe talked to The New York Times about Hollywood's narrow view of hispanics and how she's played a maid at least 150 times. Lupe said this:
"I'm proud to represent those hands that labor in this country. I've given every maid I've ever portrayed soul and heart."
Rest in peace, Lupe.

RIP, Lupe. She was SO good in "Selena" and really brought the camp as Carlos' mother in "Desperate Housewives." Sad she's gone too soon.

"speaking of deaths" you can't even have common home taught basic respect for the death of a Latina human being because it's so much more important to you to put the focus back on a white man. pathetic fucking racist to the core.
I <3 Foxxy
Edited to add another X
too many marginally talented singers and actresses (I am talking to you Vadge and Kristen) who get paid so much for doing so little, and then there is true raw talent like Lupe, who even though she is a loveable character and such a good actress, really had more depth and breadth of talent, but even though she was almost always typecast as "the maid" she stood out amazingly! Of course As Good as it Gets she was unforgettable, but it just sucks that someone who is so memorable was not given more juicier roles, who knows what mountains Miss Lupe would have conquered. RIP you are universally loved and missed lovely Lupe!!
She was great in Selena and Mi Familia. Que descanse en paz... oh and it did make me go "ay noo"
Awww sadness ....rest in peace
********* SAVE A LIFE. ADOPT A PET *********
"I'm proud to represent those hands that labor in this country."
That's a classy statement. I think that a woman who lived with that perspective will fare well in the hereafter.
Oh my God. She was a really nice lady, totally no-shit and smart. Wow. I hope she went peacefully. Poor thing.
She was really good in Mike White's Chuck and Buck (playing against her usual maid/abuelita types) and became one of his repertory players.
And Zoot Suit was a fairly unconventional play with music, featuring the songs and dances popular in 1940s Los Angeles barrios.
So sad. RIP Lupe. : (

Michael K, I haven't read every post you've ever written, but that was by far the nicest post I have read so far. I didnt know her, but the quote you included was such a testament to her character and integrity, I wish I had been aware of her BEFORE she died. May this Honorable woman rest in peace.

Possibly my all time favourite movie scene is when Jack Nicholson's character tells Lupe's character to go sell crazy somewhere else.
That was hilarious! She was great in As Good As It Gets.
If I'm flipping through channels and it is on, I'll always watch the rest of the movie.
Zoot Suit wasn't a musical, unfortunately. I would have loved to see that.

NOOOOO.. I loved her.

Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see

So she is dead yet Selena's real killer is still alive and kicking it smh, cruel world.

I do Pagents!
Dios mio, I'm so sorry to hear that. Lupe was incredible -- her portrayal of Selena's killer had me seething w rage and when I saw her the next time, she was every
Bit as believable in that role, and the next and the next. And she wasn't even a "trained" actor. Rest in peace, lovely lady. What a lot of legacies you leave behind.
storytelling is ne of my favorite movies, she will be missed.
RIP Ms. Ontoveris -- ashamed that i did not knnow her name until now but have always enjoyed her performances.

RIP Lupe. I had the pleasure of knowing your Real Women Have Curves co-star Felipe de Alba, who passed away a few years ago. Felipe played America Ferrera's grandfather in the film, and he was an actor in many classic Mexican films in the 1940s and 1950s. He became a lawyer and for years didn't act again until Real Women Have Curves, and then he made two independent films in Mexico before he died, which I believe to this day have still never been released. Felipe is also known for being Zsa Zsa Gabor's shortest marriage.

Haven't seen storytelling in a while. Good movie. Rip Lupe and best wishes to your loved ones.

Loved her in Real Women Have Curves, she was quite good with alot of genuiness, RIP Lupe!
I'm going to have to check out that Storytelling movie Michael K recommended. Sounds creepily interesting.
She'll be remembered for playing Selena's killer and the fat sister in My Family.
One of the few brown faces in Hollywood that actually got to be paid to be in front of the camera. Sad.
Perhaps not appropriate at this time will ask later...sorry guys
Awww. RIP.
How annoying, good help is so hard to find.
She was great in Real Women "Do not eat the flan".
