She’s taking a role from a LATINA actress?
Lorenz was German -born in Germany, and raised in the United States.
But I do expect the "Proud Latina" thing to come up if this film is at all critical of the Castros.

Jennifer Lawrence is headed to Cuba - on the big screen, that is.
The 25-year-old Oscar winner has signed on to star as Fidel Castro's onetime lover in Sony Pictures' "Marita," Entertainment Weekly reports.
Now 76, Marita Lorenz had an affair with Castro during the Cuban revolution in the 1950s.
Lorenz became pregnant at only 19, but had an abortion before leaving Cuba. She was then recruited by the CIA to assassinate then-Prime Minister Castro.
In addition, the German-born Lorenz testified about the John F. Kennedy assassination and later penned two autobiographies – "Marita: One Woman's Extraordinary Tale of Love" and "Espionage from Castro to Kennedy and Lieber Fidel: Mein Leben, meine Liebe, mein Verrat."

There is still time for the real thing, JLaw. Hurry!
Well, she can’t play Raoul Castro’s lover - because by all reports, he’s a flaming queen and pederast.
MY FATHER WROTE THAT BOOK. It never got published, but he was paid a fortune.

She better check that white privilege.
I have no doubt that the Hollywood version will portray her abortion as a wonderful and empowering event in her life.
Plus, I met her and her daughter. I have crazy stories about her too. My Father, although the writer of this book, took everything she said with a grain of salt. It ultimately got published because of the liability. WOW. I must still have the manuscript somewhere. IF I find it, I’m going to have it scanned and put online.
What I meant is the publisher decided not to publish it. The only book my Dad wrote start to finish that wasn’t published. We are talking between 1979-81.
Liberals screaming for an 0scar already???
Never mind the fact that she's German.

Marita Lorenz was a white, German-born American girl. Not a Latina.
That’s absolutely fascinating.
Jennifer Lawrence can pound sand. Una puta total.
The daughter is in the U.S., the mother is in Cuba if I remember correctly?
If you call a few publishers, you will probably find someone willing to pay you for it, given the fact that it is now the subject of a major motion picture.
Between her and Sean Penn, one of my maxims is proven true: Artistic talent is usually in direct inverse proportion to brains.
I’m all JLaw’d out.
I really don’t get the fascination with this dopey looking broad.
Type casting? Fidel’s lover was a stupid whore.
In that case, carry on ;-)
