Age Quote by Melissa Barrera
“Before, in the golden age of Hollywood, even in the golden era of Mexican cinema, everything was a musical, but every actor was a triple threat. Every actor could sing, they could dance, they could act, and they were great at it, and they were charming. I think we need to invest on talent.”
