The depiction of Latinos in Hollywood has gone through a remarkable trajectory: from bandits to lovers, from merely background figures to central protagonists. Paradoxically, there were more Latino characters on the screen during Hollywood’s Golden Age (1930-1950) than today, despite our political and social enlightenment and political correctness.
