Owning the Spotlight: Celebrating Annie Gonzalez
It has been a good year for the actress who portrayed singer Jenni Rivera in the Biopic “Jenni”.
There’s something extraordinary about witnessing a performer experience the moment they truly arrive. I first observed this with actress, producer, director Eva Longoria. She would walk the press line and engage with everyone, no matter the size of their audience. America Ferrera and Gina Rodriguez also come to mind. These talented women put in the work, honed their craft, and were fortunate to be featured in hit television programs and movies. Last night December 6, 2024 in Downtown Los Angeles, actress Annie Gonzalez exemplified this on the Red Carpet at NALIP’s Celebrating Latino Excellence: 25th Anniversary End of the Year Celebration. She owned the moment.
Many of her colleagues turned out to support the release of the recently premiered biopic Jenni about the iconic Mexican-American singer-songwriter, actor, producer, and women’s rights activist, Jenni Rivera. Congratulations to Annie Gonzalez for sharing her incredible talent with the world.
A proud Chicana actress and producer is known for roles in Flamin’ Hot, Gentefied, Shameless, and Vida. Raised in Los Angeles at age 10 when she became one of the original dancers on JammX Kids for Warner Brothers. Annie studied at East LA College.
