I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies - I didnt have to be a gigolo. In real life.
Cesar Romero
2.
The Thin Man was a good break, because it was highly popular. I played a gigolo in it.

3.
Bugsy Siegel. The mobster with the beautiful blue eyes.

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.
Cesar Romero
5.
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.

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

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.
Cesar Romero
8.
Well, you know what they say in Hollywood - the most important thing is being sincere, even if you have to fake it.
Cesar Romero
9.
In the future, all robots will act like Don Knotts.

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.
Cesar Romero
11.
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.
Cesar Romero
12.
I was supposed to be a romancer, either wooing the leading lady or competing with the leading man for her.
Cesar Romero
13.
I'm satisfied to go in at the bottom - that's the best way to learn what things are all about.
Cesar Romero
14.
I can't date women my own age any more - I hate going to cemeteries.
Cesar Romero
15.
They say the camera never lies. It lies every day.
Cesar Romero
16.
It's a new town. The old elegance is gone. It used to be one big family, this industry.
Cesar Romero
17.
I know Raft did have some genuine affairs with actresses.
Cesar Romero
18.
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.
Cesar Romero
19.
Everybody in Hollywood was in Around the World in 80 Days. If you weren't, you left town and made up an excuse.
Cesar Romero
20.
A joke a day keeps the gloom away!
Cesar Romero
21.
If my father's business hadn't gone broke, I'd be exporting nuts, bolts and sugar machinery right now. What an awful thought!
Cesar Romero
22.
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.
Cesar Romero
23.
I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.
Cesar Romero
24.
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.
Cesar Romero
25.
I was wearing corn plasters above and below my toes and taping my ankles twice.
Cesar Romero
26.
I had to keep from laughing when a male relative of mine became concerned about how often I danced.
Cesar Romero
27.
The make up took about an hour to put on, but the wig was a thing that bothered me more than anything else.
Cesar Romero
28.
It's the maritime equivalent of rock climbing.
Cesar Romero
29.
I thought it was very humanitarian of Sean Penn and Madonna to marry each other. That way, they make only two people miserable instead of four.
Cesar Romero
30.
I should remember more, and I have a pretty good memory.
Cesar Romero
31.
I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe.
Cesar Romero
32.
All kinds of celebrities, political ones as well, are increasingly being targeted. In this country, with all the countless guns.
Cesar Romero
33.
We Latins make splendid lovers and splendid older men.
Cesar Romero
34.
Sometimes, I wonder what I'm doing here.
Cesar Romero
35.
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.
Cesar Romero

When someone's acting for a scene, they can fool the camera. But in everyday life, unless you're watching and censoring yourself every minute, or spending all your time in the company of ladies, what you feel is bound to show in your eyes.
