AB  - "Details a theatrical and filmic history of Latinx actors and adaptations of King Lear to illustrate that in order to play King Lear, the Latino actor must be associated with the perception of having accrued gravitas, a capacious characteristic that functions in contrast to mainstream U.S. perceptions of Latinx." Considers gravitas in terms of vocalization an authority. Concludes by "examin[ing] the career of Hector Elizondo, the Latinx actor who comes closest to portraying a Lear-like role on the U.S. stage." English summary, 580.
