Sean Penn And Former Co-Star Maria Conchita Alonso Accuse Each Other Of Being Pigs And Communists |

Sean Penn and actress Maria Conchita Alonso (from The Running Man) had "an angry bust-up" at Los Angeles International Airport
on Sunday. It started when Alonso, who was picking up her mother who
was arriving on a flight from Miami, "spotted Penn in an American
Airlines lost luggage area" and approached him. Alonso, who was born in
Cuba and raised in Venezuela, wrote an open letter to Penn last year
saying she was "appalled" by his support for Hugo Chavez. Alonso recalls
to Page Six what happened next: “I was very calm. I said, ‘I would like
to talk to you.' He said, ‘I have nothing to say to you ... You have
been saying a lot of things about me in the press.’ I said, ‘How can you
defend Chavez?’" Things apparently went downhill from there. Alonso
admits saying "You are a communist Sean Penn." Penn supposedly
responded, "You are a pig!" and Alonso yelled back, "And you are a
communist [bleep]hole! Is it great to live the way you do as a
communist?" According to Alonso, "Nearly 60 people were watching,
shocked. My mother wanted to clap, but she couldn’t because she was in a
wheelchair and she had a small dog in her lap." Penn, for his part,
says that during the incident he "only knew that a hostile woman was
nonsensically berating me. I didn’t realize it was that actress. I think
I worked with her once. But she looks really different." We're not sure
if he'd forget her that easily, considering they once shared a very
steamy, very NSFW canoodling scene in Dennis Hopper's Colors back in 1988. [Page Six]
