RUKUS March 2009
C rystal Mantecón, a native of Dallas, Texas attended High School for
the Performing and Visual Arts as a Vocal Major. There she won
awards at Jazz festivals across the country, and performed locally
in plays, including the internally complex lead role in the acclaimed
play Why We Have a Body written by Claire Chafee. A strong command of
her craft coupled with a unique beauty that comes from her Mexican and
Cuban ancestry got a local talent agent’s attention. Her talent and diverse
look gifted her opportunities to work with many Oscar Nominated actors,
with projects in the works her star is rising at a fast pace with no signs of
letting up.

1.What’s your Ethnicity?
2. What’s your sign?
Capricorn Sun, Libra Rising
3. Where are you from?
Dallas, TX
4. What did you like
most about growing up
in Houston?
It’s home. It has all the
best aspects of being a
big city, but in some ways
it feels like a small town.
People are neighborly and
friendly. Plus, everything IS
bigger in Texas. I jest. ;-)
5.What kind of mischief
did you into while
growing up?
Mischief? Ha Ha! Wouldn’t
you like to know?!

6. What’s the craziest
thing you’ve ever done?
I’m just crazy. Nuff said.
7. What brought you to LA?
I can try to explain what
prompted me to move to
Los Angeles, but the truth
is that it just happened
when the time was right.
Doors were opening in my
career as an actress, and I
walked through.
8. What’s your favorite
hobby and why?
I have many hobbies, and
keep picking up more as
I go. I’m a crafts junkie, I
think. I always keep going
back to jewelry making
though so maybe that’s
my favorite. I’m very fond
of my jewelry pieces. I get
lost in creating something
tangible… something to
contribute both functionally
and aesthetically.
9. What’s your guilty
pleasure?
Dark chocolate.
10. Who do you admire?
Meryl Streep & Paul
Newman
11. What’s one of your
personal goals?
To buy my mother a house.
12. What do guys
compliment you on the
most?
My smile. ;-D
13. What’s your favorite
body part on yourself?
Clavical.
