Subject: US actress Elizabeth Pena dies at 55
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/16/14 at 4:33 am
US actress Elizabeth Pena, who appeared in films including Lone Star and Rush Hour, has died at the age of 55.
Pena was also known for TV shows like sitcoms I Married Dora and Modern Family, in which she played the mother of Sofia Vergara's character Gloria.
Other film credits included La Bamba, Jacob's Ladder, Batteries Not Included and Down and Out in Beverly Hills.
Pena's manager told the Associated Press news agency she died of natural causes after a brief illness.
The Cuban-American actress was a familiar face from her dramatic and comedic roles on the big and small screens.
She caught the eye in 1986's Down and Out in Beverly Hills, playing the maid Carmen alongside Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfuss and Nick Nolte.
She won the role, she said, by bribing a security guard at Disney Studios to let her in to see the casting director after an agent had told her she was not attractive enough for the role.

I actually was thinking about her a couple of weeks ago. I remember her from the show "Resurrection Blvd" from the late 90's/early 2000's.
55 is too young to die.
