  4. ^ Sigler - "Celebrity Wonder interview with Jamie-Lynn Sigler". I'm half-Cuban -- my mother was born in Cuba and came here as a teenager -- so it's got a lot of Latin influence to it. It's pretty poppish. It's kind of more on the J-Lo side of things.
  5. ^ Vilasuso - "CBS.com Interview with Jordi Vilasuso". CBS.COM: Now, you're of Cuban descent? JORDI VILASUSO: My parents are from Cuba. I was born in Miami. All of Miami is going to start watching Guiding Light.
