Dear editor
Javier MartinezYour article on the Hollywood Influentials was a first. As much money as Hollywood generates, it's always good to know that there are Latinos taking part on the decision making in entertainment. My hats off to all of them for their achievement, and to your publication for the fantastic coverage of this piece!

I have just received the APR-MAY 2005 issue of Latino Leaders Magazine at my office at the National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS), where I work, and I noticed that part of my mailing address shown on the cover is incorrect. Therefore, I am sending this personal request that your office make the necessary corrections for future mailings. Since I enjoy reading your magazine cover to cover, I do not want to miss a single issue in the future.
Thank you very much for in advance for your kind attention to this personal request. I really enjoy reading all the very interesting articles regarding our Latino leaders in various fields and occupations, and I commend you for your outstanding work!

Last week I read your April issue and noticed your correction on page 9 regarding the "only" Hispanic actor to be nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award. You have forgotten the most recent nomination, James Edward Olmos (sic) for his portrayal of Jaime Escalante in the movie Stand And Deliver. Anthony Quinn was also nominated twice for best actor which he never won, but he did win twice in the supporting actor role.
Keep up the good work ...

Editor's Note:
Edward James Olmos is joined not only by Anthony Quinn and Jose Ferret, but also by Rita Moreno and many other Latinos who have been nominated for acting and non-acting roles as well.
