RAUL JULIÁ
With a new documentary of his life–Raul Julià: The World's a Stage– airing on PBS ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month, no list would be complete without the incomparable Julià. Well known for his role as Gomez in The Addams Family, Raul was considered a master of both the theater and the stage. Still, he considered his best roles the ones off the stage. Here, he worked tirelessly to elevate and advocate for Hispanic filmmakers, especially those from his home of Puerto Rico.

LAS HERMANAS MIRABAL
The Mirabal sisters (Patria, Minerva, Maria Teresa, and Dedé) are known for their opposition of Dominican dictator, Rafael Trujillo, and his corrupt regime. They lead many of the covert operations designed to foster dissent amongst Dominicans, overthrow his dictatorship, and restore democracy. Three of the sisters (Patria, Minerva, and Maria Teresa) were assassinated on Trujillo's orders for their activities. The United Nations designated November 25th as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in honor of the sisters, and Julia Alvarez further honored their legacy with a fictional account of their tale titled "In the Time of the Butterflies."
