Por Que Lloras? (Why You Crying?): Una Mirada En Serio a la Vida, El Amor, y La Risa (My Long, Hard Look at Life, Love, and Laughter)

by George Lopez (Author), Armen Keteyian (Author), OmarAmador (Translator)

Synopsis

Abandonado por su padre, un trabajador migratorio, a la tierna edad de dos meses, y luego tambien, a los diez anos, por una madre emocionalmente inestable, Lopez crecio solo, con rabia, atormentado y objeto de burlas en el Valle de San Fernando, California, criado por unos abuelos para quienes el amor era una mala palabra.

Inspirado por sus idolos, Freddie Prinze Sr. y Richard Pryor, Lopez comienza un turbulento recorrido de veinte anos por el frenetico mundo de los comediantes -- tratando de aprender un arte que nadie puede ensenar; triunfando una noche y fracasando la sigui-ente; luchando contra la ira, el alcohol, la depresion, y la duda, al tiempo que se enfrenta a las barreras levantadas para impedir que los chicanos salgan adelante, especialmente en los programas de las grandes cadenas de television.

En este dia, el programa de George Lopez es un exito en las horas de mas audiencia en ABC y sus presentaciones personales como comediante, vendidas a capacidad, atraen a miles de admiradores de todas edades que se desternillan de la risa con las historias salidas de una vida que, de lo triste que era, llego a ser comica.
