"The racism, the sexism, I never let it be my problem, it's
their problem. If I see a door comin' my way, I'm knockin'
it down. And if I can't knock down the door, I'm sliding through
the window. I'll never let it stop me from what I wanna do."
Actress, dancer, and choreographer Rosie Perez has been wowing
critics and audiences alike since literally jumping from the
screen in Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing. Rosie's unique style
has led to a devoted following of fans that follow her every
artistic move and even cheered "Rosie for President!" at The
Spitfire Tour's Woodstock date, where she was clearly an audience
favorite. Since the death of a very close friend from AIDS,
Rosie has worked tirelessly on behalf of AIDS education, prevention,
and treatment, bringing her flair and conviction this deeply
personal cause.
