Cesar Julio Romero Jr. (February 15, 1907 – January 1, 1994) was an American actor, singer, dancer and vocal artist. He was active in film, radio, and television for almost 60 years.
Bugsy Siegel. The mobster with the beautiful blue eyes.
Well, you know what they say in Hollywood - the most important thing is being sincere, even if you have to fake it.
People would read all kinds of reaction into it, but Tracy told me himself that half the time he was just standing very still, trying to look sober and composed. That takes nothing away from him. The fact he got away with it was a tribute to his talent.
If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.
I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe.
A joke a day keeps the gloom away!
They would glue the wig to the front of my forehead, and after a while it would give me a headache.
Everybody in Hollywood was in Around the World in 80 Days. If you weren't, you left town and made up an excuse.
That is perceptive of you, because in this country men dancers have always been viewed with suspicion. If you were an actor, a star, and a dancer, you had to be, or have a name like someone mainstream.
I can't date women my own age any more - I hate going to cemeteries.
We Latins make splendid lovers and splendid older men.
I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.
I was out dancing with one actress or another. And that got press. Even when it didn't, the whole town knew I was a dancing fool, and since I couldn't very well dance with a man, they saw me dancing with a lady, and they assumed the rest.
But by the time I was 40, everything was winding down. It started after the war. On the plus side, there was more more products and technology. But for me the nightlife was winding down, the glamour, the fun.
I was wearing corn plasters above and below my toes and taping my ankles twice.
Due to a big bust in Cuba, my father's business suffered badly, so I was free to choose my own career. I became a professional dancer, and I went on the road and started making real money.
It's a new town. The old elegance is gone. It used to be one big family, this industry.
Because of my age and because there's more work on the small screen. What it's missing in quality it makes up for in quantity. From an actor's selfish point of view.
I know Raft did have some genuine affairs with actresses.
George Raft may or may not have gone both ways, but he was very sensitive to what they said about him, and it was one factor why he decided to play all those gangsters in the movies.
