The Week, a British magazine with a U.S. edition, has a recurrent feature in which an author lists his/her favorite six books. Rosie Perez -- the Oscar nominated actress, TV personality, and choreographer -- did the picks for the March 7, 2014 issue. Perez was then promoting her memoir, a story of a harrowing childhood that included stints in an orphanage and a group home.
Rosie Perez's picks included William Goldman's novel "The Princess Bride," Robert A. Caro's 1,200-page Pulitzer Prize winning opus "The Power Broker," and a book that she described as "an unapologetic tour of the good, bad, and ugly business of the sport I love most," namely Thomas Hauser's "The Black Lights."
Put a celebrity behind the match at a boxing match and what you invariably get are insipid observations that drag down the production. Ms. Perez -- at least in my mind -- is an exception (feel free to disagree). She knew a lot about the Sweet Science before she got this gig. I find her refreshing.
Okay, I'm biased. She sure looks good at age 51 and I loved her as Woody Harrelson's girlfriend in "White Men Can't Jump."
