My grandfather was a very elegant individual. My father also. He was a lawyer and farmer in Cuba. In Miami, he had to go to work wherever he could. But whenever it was time to go out, you saw how they cared for how they looked.
My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. I don`t know what the natural transition of it was. I mean I acted a little bit when I was young and like any kid would in a community theatre.
My uncle, who was a little more flamboyant, always said the guy who dressed the best was Fred Astaire.
