Maybe you knew this… honestly, I kind of forgot. Rosie Perez got her start in the late 80s as a dancer on Soul Train. As a college student in LA (majoring in bio-chemistry, btw) in order to relieve stress she said she would go to nightclubs for Ladies Night. A talent scout from Soul Train “discovered her” and asked her to be on the show. She was not a professional dancer but loved it so much she dropped out of school. A few years later Perez was noticed at a dance club, Funky Reggae, by Spike Lee, who cast her in her first major acting role in Do the Right Thing… and once we heard that voice, as they say, the rest is HerStory. Watch her tear UP the floor!
