Marilyn Martinez, Latin Diva of Comedy
Martinez died yesterday morning, of cancer, according to her website.
Fellow comics like Chris Rock, Andrew Dice Clay, George Lopez, Joe Rogan, Martin Lawrence, Carlos Mencia, Cheech Marin, Dane Cook, Pauly Shore, were all big fans of Marilyn. Cheech brought her on tour with him all last year, Martin Lawrence featured her on his First Amendment series for Starz this year and Paul Rodriguez had her tour with him for many years. She was one of Mitzy Shore’s favorites and one of the Comedy Store legends. Most recently she co-headlined and was able to showcase her true uncompromised talent on Showtime, in the Original Latin Divas of Comedy.
