NYDAILYNEWS/ In news previously covered here about Sean Penn's comments, a minor brouhahha now is brewing in Hollywoodland as actress Maria Alonso Conchita blasts fellow actor Sean Penn for his support of Veneuela's president Hugo Chavez. "Even though I have great respect for your artistic talent," Alonso said in a web-posted letter, "I was appalled by a recent television interview where you vigorously showed support for the regime of Hugo Chavez. Chavez did win his first elections," the former Miss Venezuela wrote, "but like Hitler, he betrayed what the country gave him." And "It's startling to observe how Venezuela, where I was happily raised, is fast becoming Cuba's mirror image," she writes, "dismantling of fundamental democratic rights deserved by its people and citizens of the world."
