"Even better is a performance by co-star Alvarado, who
steals the show from Fox and the ghosts (not an easy feat)
with her graceful beauty and excellent acting ability. If I were
a studio exec, I'd be throwing lots and lots of money at her right
now, because this girl (who most recently appeared in Little Women)
is going to be a star. I have to admire Jackson's casting ability -- after all,
he discovered Kate Winslet for Heavenly, now Alvarado... who's next? (Me!)"

These pages are my tribute to a wonderful and multi-talented actress who has been far too long obscured and almost ignored despite her numerous fine perfor- mances and apparent talent. But that is really no news for anyone, right?... :^) (One 'reason' for that can be found from this 'talent' ranking list by Hollywood industry pros and financiers. If you scroll down persistently enough, you can find Trini near the bottom with a pre-sale ranking of mere 19 points out of 100... "Trini Alvarado? Who's that?")
