CESAR ROMERO’S FIRST PORTRAYAL OF THE CISCO KID
Cesar Romero was born in New York City in 1907 of Cuban parents and often called “the Latin from Manhattan.” He famously appeared as the Cisco Kid in a series of late 1930’s films and was instrumental in presenting Latin music and dance in musical films of the World War II era which played a large part in the good neighbor policy between the United States and Latin America.
