Jaime Escalante RIP Si se puede...I never met him and I never saw the whole movie yet he set the Bar in the public's eye along with Glen Ford in "Black Board Jungle."
"He's the most stylized man I've ever come across," Olmos, who received an Oscar nomination for his performance, told the New York Times in 1988. "He had three basic personalities -- teacher, father-friend and street-gang equal -- and he would juggle them, shift in an instant. . . . He's one of the greatest calculated entertainers."
