‘The Baker and the Beauty’ newcomer Belissa Escobedo’s wish for Latinx teens everywhere
The Baker and the Beauty star Belissa Escobedo may be a newcomer to Hollywood, but growing up miles down the road in Boyle Heights, she always had her sights on acting. “It was about in third grade when I kind of figured I wanted to be an actor,” the 21-year-old tells HOLA! USA. “I kept coming to school with full episodes of Hannah Montana memorized, and I would hand out the parts to all my friends, of course giving myself the lead. They would get bored, and I just never got sick of it.”
