And then the last picture I did this year was a production collaboration with the United States and Spain (in Spanish) called “I Killed my Husband” (He Matado Mi Marido). Barbara: You got a lot of stuff “killing people” there!! Laughter MC: Very, very... I loved it!! Carmen is in it also!! Carmen: Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Ahhhhh... MC: It’s just about this woman who thinks her husband is very faithful .. She’s in love and comes home to find him with a younger woman and kills him.. Barbara: “What else is new?”.. Hahaha.. But it’s a comedy. Only on film could that be a comedy. MC: It’s like a Pedro Almodovar comedy. Ok. Barbara: Oh, love Almodovar! MC: It’s like the “new” Pedro Almodovar. Carmen says.. Carmen: He absolutely is the new Pedro Almodovar but much more elegant, refined you know. It’s like seeing a really great Pedro Almodovar of the past years “but” being a little more elegant because Pedro Almodovar (I love him, of course) but sometimes how do you say “ordinario” a little bit.. But this guy.. Oh my god! Barbara: Wow! All this happened at the same time. Who comes out with 5 films in one year? You were doing all these roles at the same time? So One day you are a maid, one day you are an FBI agent? MC: Yes. I did one movie and I finished it.. I did another movie and I finished it. The one with Jean Claude (Kill ‘Em All), and the Spanish movie (He Matado A Mi Marido) mixed because we were shooting in Mississippi but the starting date was delayed and I had already started the Spanish film. So the two days I had off for the Spanish movie I did the other role. I finished one day as the FBI agent and then the next day I am the crazy woman. It’s like being 2 people with completely different personalities! Barbara: No, it’s like being “3” people because you have the FBI agent, the crazy woman and “you” Maria..because you are neither of them.. Lol! Wild! MC: but it came out good and I am already invited for the sequel MC: The director was very helpful because I had to learn the lines and the Spanish movie scenes were very long and that character is so “not” me.. Barbara: That’s what makes you a great actress. It’s not just the fluffy roles but the really deep roles where you are willing to be completely raw. MC: And I had so much fun on all the films! It doesn’t feel like work.. If the producer on the spanish movie “He Matado A Mi Marido” said “Maria, we had a problem at the lab and we have to do the film over”.. I would be like “Yaay!!!” “When do we start”!!! MC: Now On the “music” side.. Ah of the FBI one (“Kill ‘Em All”). Barbara: Fantastic, how exciting!
Barbara: OMG.. That doesn’t even cover the.. OMG There’s more!! When do you sleep? MC: I am now going to the recording studio. Barbara: Yes, that’s what Carmen was telling me. So this is for the country music right? How did you go into country music? Do you sing it in Spanish? Hahaha! Tell me about the country music.. MC: When I was 13 I lived in Spokane, Washington. I went to school “Holy Names Academy” (a Catholic school). I lived there. One of my father’s brothers was a teacher at the University of Spokane and my cousins went to Holy Names Academy. So my father sent me there.
