But this self-described “tough Dominicana” doesn’t plan on being just any old actress.
“My dreams have been filled with visions of powerful women who have paved the way for young performers eager to follow in their respective footsteps. My journey as a model, dancer and entertainer has bought me to this wonderful opportunity that I plan to take full advantage of.”
A graduate of Bryant High School, Sally has been working for years as a professional model, and has a slew of experience in print, commercials, music videos and television. She has been the featured talent in videos by 50 Cent and Keshia Cole, was in the Sex In The City movie, and has modeled for the David Wright Foundation, among a long list of paid gigs.
Her latest may be the best opportunity for her to hit fame, as she prepares to take part in “Model Latina NYC,” a model competition reality show that premieres Monday, Aug. 2, on SiTV.
“As a public figure, I plan to continue the efforts of many successful Latinas before me to promote education, health and the arts,” she said. “My road thus far has been one of many challenges that have contributed to the strength and resiliency of my personality. I have faith that my work ethic, energy and charisma will be portrayed in the most honest and professional way possible.”
In her spare time, Sally enjoys Rollerblading, ice skating and playing baseball.
SiTV can be found on Channel 880 on TimeWarner Cable and Channel 276 on Verizon FiOS.
Louis, Louis

A piece of historic fiction is set to make its debut at the renowned Apollo Theater in Harlem next month, focusing on the life of one of the great heroes of jazz and a Queens legend.
“Louis,” a silent film, is a story about a 6-year-old Louis Armstrong growing up in a bordello in New Orleans, and the adventures he get into overturning the rule of racist corrupt society.
A highlight of the premiere will be a live soundtrack performance by jazz trumpet icon Wynton Marsalis, along with an all-star backing band.
“The idea of accompanying a silent film telling a mythical tale of a young Louis Armstrong was appealing to me,” said Marsalis. “Of course, calling it a silent film is a misnomer – there will be plenty of music, and jazz is like a conversation between the players so there’ll be no shortage of dialogue.”
This performance is part of a five-city tour which kicks off in Chicago Aug. 25, then travels to Detroit Aug. 26, Washington, DC, Aug. 28, and concludes in Philadelphia Aug. 31.
Tickets for the Apollo performance can be purchased by call (800) 745-3000, or going to www.ticketmaster.com.
Our Town: Forest Hills!

Well comedian Bill Eichner and SNL star Rachel Dratch bring us “Forest Hills State Of Mind,” a delightful parody about the neighborhood, which they describe as being home to “upper middle-class Jews” and “Pear-shaped Russian women.” Eichner raps while Dratch plays the Alicia Keys role of singing the chorus and playing, among other instruments, the trombone, on the roof of what is supposed to be a Forest Hills apartment building (though from the looks of the proximity of the Manhattan skyline, is actually in Long Island City).
Eichner’s rap verses, though riddled with vulgarity, make those of us who have lived the Forest Hills life nod in agreement. Who hasn’t gone into the Barnes & Nobles on Austin Street just to use the bathroom? Admit it. How many times have you ridden the R train from Queens Plaza to 71st/Continental instead of the E just to get a seat?
We patiently await the inevitable “Howard Beach State of Mind.”
Party Like A Virgin

Fed up neighbors called Westminster Council to quell the noise, enforcement officers were not invited to the party so the door remained shut. Officers issued a noise abatement order, which seemed to put a stop to the party.
A further offense can net Madonna, a one-time Corona resident, a £5,000 fine. No worries though, she earns that just by rolling over in the morning.
Get The Money

While we’re supportive of artistic expression, it’s silly to saddle the MTA’s dwindling coffers with cleaning up an arcane rap reference.
“Queens Gets No Respect,” would have been a much better idea. It's accuratre and gives homage to one of its funnier natives, comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
