CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela's leftist government says it is moving
to revoke the citizenship of actress Maria Conchita Alonso, a bitter
critic of the government.

The country's foreign ministry announced in the official gazette that it
would ask a judge to remove her Venezuelan nationality.

The actress was born in Cuba but her family brought her to Venezuela
when she was 5 to avoid the Communist government there. She won beauty
contests and starred in television series in Venezuela before emigrating
to the United States and starring in Hollywood productions such as
"Moscow on the Hudson" and "Predator 2."
