María Conchita Alonso Bustillo (born June 29, 1957), better known as María Conchita , is a Cuban [2] singer/songwriter and actress. María Conchita Alonso was born María Concepción Alonso Bustillo in Cienfuegos , Cuba . Her family moved to Venezuela when she was five years old, in 1962, after the Cuban Revolution . She had her first experience in show business when she was crowned Miss Teenager World in 1971, and was Miss World/Venezuela in 1975 where she became sixth runner-up in the Miss World pageant won by Puerto Rico's Wilnelia Merced . [   Alonso's first gold album and number one song in the charts was Love Maniac in 1979, her name as a singer back then was A'mbar, after that followed her second number 1 with "The Witch" and soon after "Dangerous Rhythm". In what is generally considered to be her best known song, she was asked by Giorgio Moroder to write the lyrics in Spanish and sing "Vamos a Bailar" which he had written to be part of the soundtrack for the film Scarface . The song instantly became a classic amongst Spanish speakers despite failing to garner any major attention outside of Cuba where it was recorded. As her two albums with Ambar and her solo debut were recorded in English, it was her second album María Conchita from 1984 that made her a singing star in the Spanish-speaking market, receiving a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Latin Performance ".   She made her Hollywood film debut in Moscow on the Hudson (1984) with Robin Williams , and also starred in movies like Touch and Go (1986) Extreme Prejudice (1987), The Running Man (1987), Colors (1988), Vampire's Kiss (1989), Predator 2 (1990) and The House of the Spirits (1993). She was one of the few Latin -born actresses to star in a Broadway show in 1995, playing Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman . She later acted in romantic comedies like Chasing Papi (2003) and The Last Guy on Earth (2006). Alonso was cast to play Lucía, the mother of Gabrielle Solis , on the ABC series Desperate Housewives . The episode was aired on February 19, 2006. She was in the Latin version Amas de Casa Desesperadas for Univision Network. She was a guest star in the live-action film of the comic book El Muerto and appeared in the film Material Girls (2006). Alonso hosted VH1 's ¡Viva Hollywood! on April 13, 2008 with Carlos Ponce . She portrayed Sam in the Werewolf horror film Wolf Moon , which was directed by Dana Mennie. Alonso shot Rob Zombie 's The Lords of Salem , released in 2013. Her latest film, a fantasy short titled The Secret of Joy , features her alongside fellow Venezuelan actor Carlos Antonio Leon, Spanish actress Laura Bayonas and Brazilian actress Ana Carolina Da Fonseca in a story that aims to bring awareness about pediatric cancer.
