Description:  xi, 322 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm Summary:  "Actress Rosie Perez's story of surviving a harrowing childhood and of how she found success. Rosie Perez first caught our attention with her fierce dance in the title sequence of Do the Right Thing and has since defined herself as a funny and talented actress who broke boundaries for Latinas in the film industry. Born in Brooklyn, New York, at the age of three her life was turned upside down when her mentally ill mother tore her away from the only family she knew and placed her in a Catholic children's home in New York’s Westchester County. Thus began her crazily discombobulated childhood of being shuttled between 'the Home,' where she and other kids suffered all manners of cruelty from nuns, and various relatives' apartments in Brooklyn. With the intense determination that became her trademark, Rosie overcame the odds and made an incredible life for herself. She brings her journey vividly to life on each page of this memoir -- from the vibrant streets of Brooklyn to her turbulent years in the Catholic home, and finally to film and TV sets and the LA and New York City hip-hop scenes of the 1980s and '90s"--Provided by publisher.
