Isabela Alvarez is a Puerto Rican actress who has made a name for herself on both the big and small screens. Born in Pituba, she is known for her role as Estrella in the movie “Guillermo”, as well as “Resident Evil: The Devil’s Revenge”. In her role as Estrella, she not only played the part of a goody-good girl with a nice complexion, but she also demonstrated great knowledge and patience with her own identity crisis as she struggled to maintain her own sanity while fighting alongside her fellow survivors in the film. Prior to being cast in the “Resident Evil” series, Alvarez was an up and coming actress in the small theater scene in New York City, but her role in “Resident Evil: Extinction” solidified her place in the major leagues of Hollywood.
Now that she has returned home to her native Puerto Rico, where she has been described as one of the most attractive Puerto Rican actors in Hollywood, many are wondering if her return to her homeland will change her appearance or nationality status. Will she still have green eyes and dark skin? Will she still be able to tan her hair and tan her teeth like her “Resident Evil” co-stars? Or will her new image as a patriotic Puerto Rican combine her brown skin and blonde hair with her native color and remain a part of the same identity she has adopted in Hollywood?
It is highly unlikely, but if we look at the fact that the character of Isabela has changed, we can draw some conclusions about her personal identity. It is clear that her height difference is a result of her genetics, as her parents were both only mildly taller than her, which explains why she has such a great height advantage. Her sudden height boost could very well be due to the fact that her new profession and home country have caused a huge height gap between her and the other characters in the film. We also have to consider her ethnicity, which is Spanish in origin, as it would explain her sudden height advantage. Finally, we must consider the fact that she has not only taken on a new identity in Hollywood, but has adapted to that identity very well. It shows a remarkable sense of self-worth and human decency.
