Today's celebrities are expected to be much more than one-trick ponies. In order to make it big and keep it that way, stars have to tackle Hollywood from all angles. The following Latina women have already figured that out and are trying their hands at multiple different types of media. With such diverse backgrounds and undeniable talent, Hollywood won't forget these ladies any time soon.

Not only is season 2 of Orange Is the New Black one of the most highly anticipated returns of the year, the show is breaking grounds by featuring a myriad of minority women.

"It feels like Orange Is the New Black is the start of a movement," Danielle Brooks, who plays Taystee Jefferson, said. "To be on a show with so many women and not just on the screen, but also the crew and the writers and the producers, the team mostly is women."

Dascha Polanco, who plays Dayanara Diaz, Jessica Pimentel, who plays Maria Ruiz, Selenia Levya, who plays Gloria Mendoza, and writer Marco Ramierz are just some of the Hispanic talent behind and in front of the camera that are helping to make Orange Is the New Black a Netflix hit.

"When do you see a show with more than one person of color on it?" Brooks continued. "You have six, seven women who are black and Hispanic who are leads. It's so cool. And Laverne Cox [who plays transgender Sophia Burst], how amazing is she?"

In October, Jenji Kohan, the show's creator, said that the show's second season would focus more on the show's supporting cast instead of just the main character, Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling). Both Taystee and her best friend Poussey Washington, played by Samira Wiley, will get more camera time this season.

"We will see Poussey's back story so I hope people are excited about that," Wiley said. "I'm excited about that. We will see a lot more of her in prison ... She's such a good friend and really good at that, but we'll see really more of her, her morals, where her loyalty lies, who she is as a woman, all that kind of stuff."

"I'm going to tease you a little bit about Taystee [in] season 2: you'll get more of me," Brooks said laughing. "The only thing I can give you is that for me Taystee has shocked me for season 2 so I think people will be excited to see what she does in season 2."

New episodes of Orange Is the New Black come to Netflix on June 6.
