I'm a California girl. I grew up in Inglewood right by LAX.

I have a great relationship with the Mexican people.

My father is Jaime Rodriguez from San Antonio, Texas, and I've got one whole half of my family that's Mexican through and through.

I always love going back to Los Angeles, because it was my home for 24 years, and I have many friends there.

I moved to Los Angeles to be with a man I loved.

My wife and I live in Brooklyn, N.Y., not too far from where my Long Island childhood happened.

I've lived in Los Angeles for over 70 years.

I've lived in Los Angeles for at least 24 years.

We all knew each other in the neighborhood. I loved living in El Paso. I had a wonderful childhood there.

My mom still lives in Denver and some of my brothers are still in the area, so I still have strong ties there.
