I was a server at a restaurant that was hosting the 40 Acres crew one afternoon while they were filming in Bed Stuy. Rosie was there. She stopped me while I was clearing the table to ask my name and introduced herself as "Rose"..Totally down to earth and an absolute gem of a women. She does work to support education for children. Love her.
I loved the interview with Rosie. She had difficult life when she was younger. I'm glad she was able to get herself together as an adult. U Go Rosie....I'm definitely getting the book
Before her time comes there needs to a bio film made for this extraordinary woman. Just like they did for James Brown, Pac, BIG and many others already. The legacy she has already made for herself is amazing and her lifestory would be a sight to see painted in picture. Much luv to you Rosie
I wanna buy her book. Mainly because I've been through some rough shit in my life too. Her story seems so inspiring and I wanna know how she made it through the hard times without crumbling. I'm happy she came out strong.
I wish Rosie was from the BX instead of Brooklyn because,it's ashamed J.Low is from the BX and not one time this bird have gave right back to our community as Rosie always has done to Brooklyn. Rosie was,still is and forever will be the NY hood treasure. Big up to Rosie for who she still is,where she was from,what she still doing,what she was all about and never giving AF what others think or say about her. Shall we deservedly give her the bouquet of flowers,,have a toast (alcohol or not)and our hats off to this woman?!
Really enjoying reading this bio. What an upbringing. Rosie is smart, funny, talented and it beamed through all the chaos Her life was at a tender age....Rosie you are real people. Been a fan for a long time, keep on trucking kiddo! God bless.
That is some childhood story. She is fortunate to have made it through with her mind intact. As we know most do not...Anyway, I logged into to say that her quote was very inspiring about "stability, love, real connections and money for healthcare" and is GOLDEN. And look how much the woman has grown mentally and spiritually! You can't put monetary value on that. This is an example of living a meaningful life.
Love Rosie. She is a true down to earth beautiful person. Truly talented person and a very intelligent woman. I learned so much from a documentary she did about Puerto Rico. I love how she is so nice to everyday person. I think she is one of the best dancers and actors in the business .
Wow Rosie, I always loved you in films but didn't know the reel you until now! You also revealed to me some very personal info that I didn't know about and made me realize that I may have PTSD as well by the symptoms you shared. You sound like me! Anyway I wish you good health and luck in your career and keep going strong! Blessings to you!
There was always a level of respect I had for Rosie, but now that has risen up a few more levels. She is so brave for coming on here and talking about this stuff. A woman who has been through what she's been through is not easy to deal with, but you would never know that because we only know her on movies and tv. Props for sure.
That Rosie Perez is a CLASS ACT and a talented, beautiful woman. Did ya'll hear what she said? Her success is the quality of life. A commenter on the Dish Nation video talkin' bout 'she not as successful or a star like JLo;'' but in actuality, Rosie is just as successful and a star as JLo because to Rosie achieving the quality of life she desired was her being successful. For some, being famous, having lots of money, a perfume line and clothing line, starring in multiple movies and making many videos is success to them. But it's how one measures success that's the key because success means different things to different people...I will have to check out & get a copy of her book. I don't usually get these celebrities' books but hers looks like it will be a good read...Thank you Ms. Perez for sharing
Glad to hear this. Two Amazing representatives New York, Puerto Rican Woman who have made. Especially the truth in how others truly find glee and joy in catiness and jealously.
Thank you so much for talking about PTSD. I spent twenty years in the military and they used laugh at me when I would say that I had PTSD before I joined because I grew up in the projects in Manhattan. (Fredrick Douglass)
Jaime Feliu They let you join when you’re admitting you had PTSD?? Wtf? I’m sorry if the Military knew you had mental issues they would not have let you join sweetheart.
Amazing interview, and Rosie Perez's personality, and mindset, is BEYOND beautiful - I wish her nothing but strength, love, and happiness. #Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling (with Great Hair)
Aloha and thank you to Sways for this fine update on a woman with a fine name. I taught in Detroit when Do The Right Thing came out. Ozzie Davis came to Detroit to do a theater workshop in the 'hood. I was sad he didn't bring you:( Detroit teachers used that phrase to inspire the kids to do good in the 'hood. Bendiciones from Kaua'i! Aloha.

Love Rosie. She's a beautiful and smart woman. However, I'm Puerto Rican, and grew up in a poor family, and we were not abused by our parents. She almost makes it sound like every poor person of color has been abused by a parent or someone in their environment. There's no more abuse going on with people of color than with whites. There's love, and abuse, everywhere.
Shes true puerto rican queen she shows her roots and proud of it and didnt let hollywood get her

Does she tip well??
Yes indeed
Can we not describe her as spicy? So many better adjectives- confident, punchy, forward ❤ She is the queen 👑
wakanda people can't help but be racist, it's all they know.
Rosie Perez I am very proud how you described the relationship between you and Jennifer Lopez good for you.
I love it when Rosie speaks her brand of New York accent. Makes me shout I❤NY. Really ah dooh!
11:24 the JLo stuff begins....

Love women who can stand on their own and don't take the easy routes Rosie would kick ass
I love her! I didn’t know the layers and I love it!!!
Love Rosie’s honesty and humbleness…

How ?
Jaime Feliu They let you join when you’re admitting you had PTSD?? Wtf? I’m sorry if the Military knew you had mental issues they would not have let you join sweetheart.
Nina Cal
That means he didn’t tell them that he had PTSD, at the time he joined and finished basic training, sweetheart.
ManPursueExcellence Exactly! I’m an Army Recruiter now and you can easily tell applicants to shut their mouth when they go down to MEPS.
She was a bio/chem major? I had no idea no wonder why she threw his card away lol 😂 I love this woman she is so multifaceted
"My real ambition is quality of life" - R. Perez
WISDOM❤️🔥
Great actress. It Could Happen To You was the first movie I ever saw her in and her performance blew me away.
More insight during this interview than on Wendy Williams Rosie is a pearl in a world of stones.
She kept it real.
Very smart women. Deep and honest.
love her!
11:59 - 17:46 PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder epiphanies, reflections and redirection appreciated.

I see so much of myself in Rosie. I'm not from NY but she's so cool and down to earth.
Nice interview! Had a gigantic crush on Rosie during her soul train era
Love her! She is the coolest!!

I could listen to her say "a leetle beet" over and over with them dimples lol
Hahahahaha I rewinded that part a few times!! Hahahaha love her!
Ikr?! She's a doll
I love you Rossie !!!
♤I purchased her audio book this morning. I don't know how I got on Rosie today but I.ve read a lot about her and her mom. I just literally got hooked.
I felt so sad how she was treated by her mom.
I loved her in Do the Right Thing.
She was completely different from anyone in my community when I was a kid.
She was loud, honest, strong and seemed confident. Plus I loved her accent.
Rosie Was BEFORE Jennifer Lopez. And Rosie seemed to be the 1 to push getting Jennifer on the In living color show. THAT is why we even know jlo.
She needs to be extremely appreciative of Rosie for the rest of her life!
If not for Rosie and Keenan.. we wouldn't even know Jennifer!
Done right this could be the best bio movie ever
love rosie perez, quality of life I love that ty ♥
Rosie is awesome
How you only in a few movies but every movie you made was a classic that's nuts
#teamVirgo Love me some Rosie Perez!
Love Rosie. She's a beautiful and smart woman. However, I'm Puerto Rican, and grew up in a poor family, and we were not abused by our parents. She almost makes it sound like every poor person of color has been abused by a parent or someone in their environment. There's no more abuse going on with people of color than with whites. There's love, and abuse, everywhere.
So classy. The whole package. I want to answer questions with such respect. ❤❤❤
First saw her in Soul Train as a teenager, and have been in love with her ever since... 🔥🔥🔥
great book
I always loved me some Rosie
She's smart, looks beautiful, great at her craft and that voice is so sexy. All around a beautiful women.
She's one of the ugliest women that I've ever seen, and YOU are delusional.
