Carmen Dominicci

She graduated from Universidad Del Sagrado Corazon. (New York Magazine). Dominicci during her career as a reporter has won numerous awards, including a Emmy regional, a Paoli and a Ace (award). The most striking performance - in large part non-performance - comes from the late Andrea Feldman as the flat-voiced, freaked-out daughter, a mass of psychotic confusion, infantile and heart-breaking. Eventually, she got a job as a news reporter for a New York station, which she left in 2002 to join Univision's tv show Primer Impacto. She was noted for her exhibitionist nature and heavy dependence on drugs, particularly amphetamines. During the 1990s, Dominicci became active in the field of news reporting, and started appearing on tv news shows in Puerto Rico. Feldman’s suicide preceded the release of Heat, in which she had a significant role, by only three weeks.

During the 1980s also, she married the internationally recognized actor Osvaldo Rios, also of Puerto Rico. Together, they had a son, named Guiliano Rios Dominicci. Urban legend often mis-attributes the location of Feldman’s suicide to the Hotel Chelsea. During this time also, she became a modeling instructor at Caguas' Polytechnical College, but she had to leave that job when her tv presence became more requested for by the public. Feldman was holding a can of Coke in one hand and a rosary in the other when she jumped from the fourteenth floor of 51 Fifth Avenue & 12th St, NYC. Later she began acting in Mini-Series (which is a term used for shorter, three or four chapter versions of telenovelas), which helped her become a household name and recognized figure in Puerto Rico. In August of 1972, Andrea summoned several ex-boyfriends, including poet Jim Carroll, to the home of her parents so that they would be witness to her 'final starring role'; her suicide. Dominicci, a native of Caguas, began appearing on tv commercials in Puerto Rico during the 1980s. Feldman was heavily involved in the Exploding Plastic Inevitable shows curated by Andy Warhol at which she would perform her famous whip-dance.
