Interesting tidbit: Actress that played Vasquez also did Sarah Conner's mom..
Close but not quite. John Connor's foster mom.
I appreciate the correction. Looks like I need more electrolytes this morning!
I thought you meant she did her mom, not portrayed her.
This blew my mind a bit so here's a pic for others....
Vasquez actress in Titanic:
this is blowing my mind
I just read an interview of James Cameron where he says they actually cut off her hair which was down to her waist at the time. He told her:
"Your hair will grow back. Vasquez will live forever."
And she really does. What a character.
That's a fascinating little nugget!
