Teen solves centuries-old math problem
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso says she called her one-time co-star Sean Penn a communist during a heated exchange in an airport.
Penn has been a vocal supporter of socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
UsMagazine.com reported Alonso wrote an open letter criticizing Penn for his political views last year, then confronted him last weekend when she ran into him at Los Angeles International Airport.
She described the incident in an interview with WMAL talk radio in Washington.
"I said, 'You are a communist, Sean Penn.' He said, 'You are a pig!' So I said, 'And you are a communist [expletive]! Is it great to live the way you do as a communist?" the actress said.
Alonso said she regretted swearing at Penn, but not for attacking his views.
"If someone calls me a pig, I am not going to turn the other cheek," she said. "But I don't regret calling him a communist."
Alonso co-starred with Penn, a double Oscar winner, in the 1988 film "Colors."
