Surgery in McAllen With Dr. Raul Peña – Contact Peña Eye... penaeye.com | HMH--Dr. Luis Peña harrisonmemhosp.com |
Elizabeth Peña (born September 23, 1961)[1] is an American actress. Peña was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, daughter of Estella Margarita (née Toirac), an arts administrator and producer, and Mario Peña, a Cuban-born actor, writer, and director who co-founded the Latin American Theatre Ensemble.[1] Peña graduated from New York's famous High School of Performing Arts in 1977. Her classmates include Ving Rhames (with whom she would later co-star in Jacob's Ladder) and Esai Morales (with whom she would later co-star in La Bamba). Peña has appeared in movies such as La Bamba, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Lone Star, Vibes, and Rush Hour. She recently starred in Showtime's Resurrection Blvd. as Tia Bibi Corrades and voiced the character Mirage in Pixar's animated film The Incredibles. She guest stars in the 18th episode of Numb3rs season two as Sonya Benavides. Peña also starred in the television series I Married Dora, a sitcom that lasted only 13 episodes in 1987. In the final show, the cast broke the "fourth wall" of suspended disbelief by announcing their cancellation on-camera and taking a curtain call. Writer-director John Sayles produced the critically-acclaimed but short-lived television series Shannon's Deal (1989-1991) co-starring Peña. In 1996 Sayles wrote and directed the mystery film Lone Star and again cast her in a co-starring role.
