was a fearsome screen presence who made meals out of whatever crumbs she got. While she began her TV career sparkling with winsome charm as a child actor on sitcoms like “Family Matters” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” it was on “
— shouldn’t have been half as magnetic as it immediately became with her in it. When first introduced, Santana Lopez was just a bitchy cheerleader — the smirky, sexed-up Latina counterpart for Quinn , the show’s blonde heroine teetering atop the pyramid with a delicate smile. To balance out and humanize Quinn, Santana had to be leaner, meaner, and sometimes downright cruel.
There’s a reason, for instance, why Rivera was the one to do a repeat performance of “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” the showstopping “Funny Girl” number that Lea Michele’s Rachel crushed in the first season to huge acclaim. Deep into the show’s chaotic fifth season, Santana auditions to be Rachel’s understudy by mirroring her initial performance, slamming the back door of the auditorium open and belting the song while strutting down the aisle.
This is one of my favorite Santana moment from Glee 🎶❤️🎶 She was my favorite performer on the show. So Heartbreaking 💔 RIPNayaRivera 🙏🏼 NayaRivera
RufusDeWayne Even in her childhood shows,Naya had remarkable comic timing and on Glee she turned a rather stereotypical character and made Santana beloved even in the bitchiness.
She literally is the one member I remember from the cast besides Matthew Morrison. She really stood out among a cast of talented young people.
NayaRivera was the only reason I watched Glee. She had so much charisma & talent. She brought a much needed gravitas, strength & yes pathos to a role which simply might not have been that memorable without her in it
Beautiful column!
Ppl never get their flowers when they can still smell them. Plz with y’all bullshit y’all bigged up Kurt and Blaine while Naya got crumbs. Fuck you.
Santana & Brittany wasn't suppose to be taken seriously but Naya Rivera fought for it. By doing so, Closeted teenagers around the world was given hope. NayaRivera RIPNaya Glee
