Isabel Cueva is a pretty amazing Latina. You’d think simply being one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood would be enough, but she’s already gone much farther than that: she has produced a short, In the Name of Freedom, that was acquired by Global Distribution and premiered nationwide on AT&T U-Verse and Direct TV’s Shorts HD Channel on Memorial Day; she’s received the Alma and Cine Golden Eagle awards; she’s worked with the likes of Danny Trejo on American Flyer, scheduled to air on Showtime, and Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland and horror king Tony Toddy on Jack the Reaper (now available on DVD). What’s more, she’s a regular on the web series Hollywood Angel, and has recently been attached as the lead in the Indie feature called Shallow Water. And then there’s the future: major roles in Hector Echavarria’s Duel of Legends and Aztec Warrior, where she plays alongside a whole crowd of Latino stars, from Luis Guzmán to Eugenio Derbez to Nadine Velazquez (The League, Hart of Dixie).
And now she has really hit the heights: she’s co-starring in a brand new cheesy horror classic for the home of the best in cheesy horror. She’s co-starring in American Horror House, one of the Syfy Network’s four “31 Days Of Halloween” movies. Her costar: none other than soap and scream queen Morgan Fairchild. Look for the premiere Saturday Nov. 13 at 9P.
“I love playing dramatic characters,” she told DreadCentral.com recently, “and I loved the experience of playing a character that changes throughout the story; the killer in this movie is very creative in the way he/she kills!” She doesn’t get to do any screaming this time around, she said, but “I do cry.”
