I had to keep from laughing when a male relative of mine became concerned about how often I danced.

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.

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.

They would glue the wig to the front of my forehead, and after a while it would give me a headache.

A joke a day keeps the gloom away!

Valentino was apparently gay or bisexual. And his two lesbian wives. But without any question, he had sex with men. From choice. So he was one or the other.

I was wearing corn plasters above and below my toes and taping my ankles twice.
