Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso and actor Sean Penn had a contentious exchange at Los Angeles International airport recently, in which Alonso called Penn a “communist a**hole“ and Penn called Alonso a ”pig.”
Over a year and a half after Alonso penned an open letter to Penn asking him why he supports socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the two met up serendipitously (or not so) at LAX while both were waiting to claim lost luggage.
Alonso, who starred alongside Penn in the 1988 film “Colors,” described the exchange to Steve Malzberg on WMAL.
“I go ‘Hello,’ and he smiles and says, ‘Oh, you lost your bag too?” Alonso told Steve Malzberg on WMAL. “And I’m like, ‘No, my mother (lost her bag).’ And at that moment he recognizes me because he didn’t recognize me before, and he goes, ‘Oh, it’s you.’”
Alonso says she calmly told Penn she wanted to speak with him about the tension over Chavez when Penn blew up at her.
“He goes, ‘I don’t want to talk to you. You speak badly about me. You insult me on TV,” Alonso said.
Alonso says the conversation escalated when Penn accused Alonso’s brother of attempting to assassinate Chavez, which Alonso says is not true.
“So I’m like, ‘You are in favor of Hugo Chavez and [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad.’ Because I also saw a picture of footage from TV where Chavez and Ahmadinejad are together and Sean Penn is next to them. And, you know, he‘s like ’I’ve never said that about Ahmadinejad. You’re a pig.’ And I go to him, ‘And you are a communist, Sean Penn!’”

I like her. Don’t know who she is though.
Pics from 1980s are required. Just saying.
She was in “Running Man” with Arnold.
She was in Running Man and Predator 2. She was hot with a sexy accent. Now that I know she hates Sean Penn, I really like her for her brain now.
Back in the day...
What a babe.
I know which one I'm siding with and it's not the spoiled donkey brat.
And back in the day (1987) in "Running Man"
She was good in “The Running Man” with Ahnold, Richard Dawson, and Governor Turnbuckle Jesse Ventura.
Wasn’t she on Celebrity Ghost Stories last week?
We like. And he is not just any communist, he IS a communist asshole.
Looks like there are a lot of fellow Running Man fans in the thread. Fun movie. Good for her to knock Sean Penn.
Met a couple yesterday, who came to the USA 30 years ago, from Poland, and they said Poland thanks the USA for the long hard Cold War, whereby world communism was defeated with few bullets.
They said Polish people love America, Americans, and would like to become the 51st state.
They would be with this lady from Cuba.
This last one was a bad fashion choice, but I still love her...
Perhaps we could trade New England for Poland?

Get rid of California and New York First.Then I’d agree with getting rid of the New England States.Besides,The New England States are small change compared to the first two.
