Alexa Vega and Wilmer Valderrama talk ‘From Prada to Nada’, a Latina-inflected spin on Jane Austen’s ‘Sense and Sensibility’. The film follows two spoiled sisters who are left penniless after their father’s sudden death and must move in with their estranged aunt in East Los Angeles.
The stars discussed the importance of cultural representation in the film and the challenges of balancing comedy with heartwarming family drama. Valderrama plays the love interest who helps the sisters find their way back to their roots. It’s a charming, modern retelling of a classic story that celebrates Mexican-American culture.
