Constance Marie Constance Marie was a very
busy actress in 2002, juggling two primetime series: a short-lived one-hour
drama "American Family" (2002), which aired on PBS and a half-hour sitcom,
"George Lopez" (2002) on ABC.
On the critically praised "American Family" (2002), Marie starred alongside
Edward James Olmos, Sonia Braga, Esai Morales and Raquel Welch,as Nina, a
daughter in the Gonzales family and a sexy legal aid attorney, whose liberal and
political ideas are constantly challenged by her conservative father "Jess",
played by Olmos. "American Family" (2002) was the PBS's first-ever original
television series.
On "George Lopez" (2002), Marie starred as Angie Lopez, George's wife and the
mother of their two children. The series stared stand-up comedian George Lopez
and aired for a while during the last half hour of Marie's other series,
American Family.
Marie was seen starring as Yolanda in the highly celebrated Samuel Goldwyn film,
Tortilla Soup (2001). She played the daughter of Raquel Welch, who
coincidentally stared as her aunt in America Family.
Marie's thriving career on both the small and big screen began when, as a
teenager in Los Angeles' underground breakdancing scene, she was selected out of
a group of 500 hopefuls to dance in David Bowie's Glass Spider Tour.
Upon arriving back in Los Angeles, Marie was cast as a dancer in the movie Salsa
(1988). The film's choreographer introduced her to Steve Tisch, who gave Marie
her very first acting job and an amazing one at that: a series regular role as
Penny on CBS's short-lived "Dirty Dancing" (1988).
While TV was Marie's first job, she began to desire work in feature films as
well. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Marie was working in
features, starring as Toni Sanchez in the critically recognized 1995 Newline
feature My Family (1995), directed by Gregory Nava. The project was also the
first of many times Marie has worked with fellow actor and friend Edward James
Olmos.
Marie went on to win praise from fans for her portrayal of Tejano music legend
Selena's mother, Marcella Quintanilla, in the blockbuster film Selena (1997).
Less than four years older than her on-screen daughter (portrayed by Jennifer
Lopez, Constance Marie underwent four hours of extensive make-up in order for
her to look like Selena's mother. She has continued to work almost non-stop
since.
TV producer Gary David Goldberg offered Marie a role as Michael J. Fox's
antagonist love interest, Gabby, on the ABC series "Spin City" (1996), a stint
that helped the series achieve some of its highest ratings to date. Offers were
pouring in and Marie found herself starring as Gabriella Diaz, on the another
short-lived series "Union Square" (1997).
The cancellation of the highly publicized Union Square allowed the in-demand
Marie to quickly jump into another role, as Detective Toni Brigatti on "Early
Edition" (1996), where she guest starred on six occasions between 1998 and 2000.
In 1999, she appeared in two episodes of "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place"
(1998).
In 2000-2001, she had a recurring role on "For Your Love" (1998). In 2001, Marie
went back to her dancing roots to portray Inez Cortez, a salsa champion on "Ally
McBeal" (1997).
Other credits include the NBC pilot The Underworld (1997) (TV) opposite Kevin
Pollak and the Mario Van Peebles-directed ABC pilot, "Missing Persons".
In addition to her numerous film and television starring roles, Marie cameoed in
the comedy See Spot Run (2001) and starred in the 2000 Sundance Film Festival
favorite Dancing in September (2000).
After "George Lopez" (2002) ended in 2007, she has guest starred on "CSI: Crime
Scene Investigation" (2000), "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" (2008)
and "According to Jim" (2001). She is currently starring in "Switched at Birth"
(2011) as Regina Vasquez.
