The Many Faces of Melissa Barrera
In the latest, bloodiest reboot of “Scream,” Melissa Barrera, 31, is a force to be reckoned with. With her role as Samantha "Sam" Carpenter, the ebullient actress has become the face of a twenty-five-year legacy franchise that has historically lacked diversity among its protagonists. The Mexican actress stands at the helm of a cast that includes American actress Jenna Ortega, 19, of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. Both are refreshing additions to the “Scream” slasher universe as the only Latinas to star in the franchise thus far.
