Babylon
Dominican-born actor, producer, and author of Aim For The Stars, Yissendy Trinidad is making an impact with her role as Carmelita in Babylon, an epic period comedy-drama about the highs and lows of 1920s Hollywood. The movie came out in theaters on December 23, 2022, and she played Carmelita.
Carmelita, Trinidad’s character who is based on the real-life Brazilian entertainer Carmen Miranda, appears prominently in the opening scene of the movie, which depicts a wild Hollywood soiree. The scene and Trinidad’s performance have already made headlines for their striking portrayal of Los Angeles’s narcotics culture at the time.
Babylon has received five Golden Globe nominations, with critics praising the impressive cast performances in particular. It follows an intriguing intersection of characters during the emergence of sound films in the late 1920s.
The role has given Trinidad yet another chance to portray her culture and to demonstrate to immigrants everywhere that anything is doable with positivity, preparation, and determination.
