Los Angeles Times: Danny Villanueva, 77, who was born in a hut in New Mexico and went on to co-found the powerful Univision network and become one of the wealthiest Latino executives in the country, died Thursday at Ventura County Medical Center. The cause was complications from a stroke suffered earlier in the week. In addition to Univision, Villanueva had a financial interest at various times in rival network Telemundo. Before he amassed his fortune, Villanueva spent eight years in the NFL.
