Who’s That Hottie: Street Kings’ Martha Higareda

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on April 11, 2008

I am happy to report that this week’s hottie is someone that will not only have you saying, “Who’s that hottie?”, she will also have you channelling your inner latino and saying, “Ay, mama cita.” Her name is Martha Higareda and she co-stars alongside Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker in Street Kings, an L.A. cop drama from director David Ayer and L.A. Confidential scribe James Ellroy. In Kings, Higareda plays the sexy nurse girlfriend to Reeves’ gunslinging gangsta wannabe detective — and while the film itself isn’t good, at all, there is one thing that is certain — this lady brings the heat with the best of them.

And while she may be new on the scene in the states, don’t think that this spicy 24-year old hasn’t been sizzling on the silver screen for a while. This Mexican native has found plenty of work in Mexican cinema since she burst onto the scene in 2002 with Amar te duele, for which she won a Mexican MTV Movie Award as Actriz Favorita (Favorite Actress). And based on the photo set hotness she showed FHM Mexico in August 2005 and the acting skills she shows off in Street Kings, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more and more of Ms. Higareda in the near future.
