Yvette Monreal is an American actress. Her roles include the films Lowriders and Rambo: Last Blood and the shows Faking It, Matador, and Stargirl.
She has said, speaking of Stargirl:
…not all Hispanic families are like that, but… my mom is very traditional and she’s Mexican and she… said, “that’s how my family was.” And me, growing up, that’s how she was. It’s very important that the representation was there because even though not all Hispanic families are represented like that on TV, I’m glad that this one was because in reality, there are families like that and it’s very relatable.
Yvette’s maternal grandfather’s surname likely was Gonzalez.
One of Yvette’s grandmothers is named Lala.
My mom was actually really pleased with how they depicted the family because my mom is very traditional and she was like, “I really appreciate that they gave such an accurate representation of how Hispanic families are.” Obviously, not all Hispanic families are like that, but she was mainly speaking about herself because my mom is very traditional and she’s Mexican and she even said, “that’s how my family was.” And me, growing up, that’s how she was. It’s very important that the representation was there because even though not all Hispanic families are represented like that on TV, I’m glad that this one was because in reality, there are families like that and it’s very relatable. It was very relatable to me and my mom.
