Lupe Ontiveros longed to play roles that would showcase her talents, like possibly that of union organizer Dolores Huerta.
Yet more often than not she was cast as the maid -- a role she said she played more than 150 times.
Born Guadalupe Moreno, the actress from El Paso, Texas told The New York Times back in 2002 that if she spoke perfect English she didn’t get the part. "It's their continued perspective of who we are," she said, lamenting Hollywood’s view of Hispanics.
She played a maid in a slew of hit films, including "The Goonies" and "As Good As It Gets," where she cracks us up with her memorable "sell crazy someplace else" scene. (Check out the mash-up of Lupe playing a maid above)
Prime-time television has also been known to feature Latina actresses as maids. Some examples have been Rosario on "Will & Grace" played by Shelley Morrison...

While the final season's series regulars are undoubtedly some of the most important characters on "Lost," they aren't the only people that fans have come to know and love. One of the show's greatest attributes is its wealth of worthwhile characters that weave in and out of the Island's bountiful mythology with varying degrees of regularity.
After the jump, we've highlighted the sixteen recurring characters that we're hoping to see in the final season of "Lost" — the ones that are still alive, at least. We'll get to the corpses soon, we promise. Stay tuned to MTV for the rest of this week and into the season premiere, as we'll be running a series of features pegged directly to the show's trademark number sequence: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. Needless to say, spoilers for season five and earlier lie ahead.
