Grand Hotel - "The Max Factor"?

When did Cesar Romero star in the Grand Hotel, Anaheim, California dinner theatre performance of "The Max Factor"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.213.79 (talk) 18:12, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Daughters

Who are these two described as Romero's daughters ? - http://www.cubanow.net/global/loader.php?secc=5&cont=stories/num11/01.htm -- Beardo 02:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

TV

Mr. Romero starred in a late 50s or early 60s TV show, not listed in this article, in which he played a secret courier who transported important documents in a brief case attached to his wrist with handcuffs. The opening credits always showed him cuffing the brief case and boarding a Super Constellation airplane. Does anyone know the name of this show? Bongorafa 19:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

It is a slight on the memory of Cesar Romero to disregard his most iconic "straight" role

You only have to read the reference in IMDb to realize that "Captain from Castile" was a blockbuster, an epic, and made Romero a credible major star for as least a decade. Any standard text on Cortez will show the Aztec Codex illustrations of the spanish in metal suits of armor, with classic visored "enclosed helmets", that we associate with the age of jousting and taking castles...The conquistadors were spanish kinghts, and armoured ground troopers. In order to show the gleeming smiles of the two leading men, the costumers played a bit loose with historical accuracy. A double visored "knights" helmet whould confuse the public, and hide the dimpled chin of Mr. Power. These looked so good, and were seen by so many people, that the icon stuck. It was the english, 70 years later, who most commonly wore the type of "morion helmet" used to show off the two stars. Misplaced Pages is not supposed to use original research, true, but any jr. college art history major has seen the Aztec codex and European woodcuts depicting the real event. It is a pity that Misplaced Pages has no meaningful reference to this extremely important film. The musical score, by Alfrem Newman, is still played marching bands in parades and at football games. Romero's TV career is a footnote to his huge, passing stardom from this famous role. Please expain your actions, if you delete ALL of this reference again. 3dnatureguy 08:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Who's Maria?

it says on his page: There was some speculation that Maria was fathered by Martí who was a boarder in the Mantilla household but he never claimed Maria as his daughter in his lifetime.

who the hell is maria? her name is not mentioned anywhere else on the page. if it's nothing to do with romero, why is it here? it should be on Martí's page, not romero's. 194.221.133.211 14:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What's in a name?

I have a question. Is his name "Caesar" Romero, and how it's spelled in the bio is an error?

Or is it "Cesar" and Cesar is the Spanish version of Caesar?

I've seen both spellings on the web.

On the Batman TV show, William Dozier, the producer of the show as well as the narrator, pronounced it "SAY-SAR" Romero although it was spelled C-A-E-S-A-R; if he was correct, then that was how Mr.Romero himself pronounced it which is a strong argument for CESAR. Which is which? Or are both spellings equally valid? Are their any Latino fans who want to settle this?Bernard ferrell 16:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

"Confirmed bachelor"

The use of "Confirmed Bachelor" is a euphanism meaning "homosexual." It was ascribed to Caesar Romareo for a definite reason, and that reason was widely know in and out of hollwood...this is why he never married. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.188.132 (talk) 04:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Liberation theology

I just deleted parts of the first sentence about Romero's liberationist stance, as they were clearly biased. Liberation theology is not a blend of "religion" and "communism", and Marx' views about religion are even further away from the topic. --87.169.28.188 (talk) 23:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

TV remake

If someone can't come up with a citation for that, it should be removed. It seems highly unlikely that WB is going to make a camp batman series and devalue their serious and valuable film property. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.64.177 (talk) 03:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Contradition in his categories?

Why is Romero listed (under Categories, bottom of the page) as a "Christian Socialist" and as a "California Republican"? Republicans are the complete opposite of socialism. Please advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sopm (talk • contribs) 02:52, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

And why are there still links to LGBT categories when all references to his bisexuality have been ruthlessly purged? — User:Dutchman Schultz —Preceding undated comment added 05:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC).

I do find evidence Romero supported Nixon in 1960 and 1972. I don't find much evidence for "liberation theology" outside IMDB and mirrors of Misplaced Pages. Possibly he was more private on that or maybe the IMDB person is confusing Cesar Romero with either César Chávez or Óscar Romero. (Although I think bishop Romero was on the moderate end of liberation theology)--T. Anthony (talk) 06:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

His sexual orientation is disputed and he never made any claims to what his sexulaity was, so the categories don't belong (confirmed bachelor =/= homosexuality). As for politics.. it's fuzzy, mostly he said/she said. 98.198.83.12 (talk) 23:52, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the Republicans & socialism, they may be opposites now, but historically US parties weren't so clearly defined ideologically and there were socialists aligned to the Republicans - Vito Marcantonio began his career as a Republican and the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota operated through the Republicans in the early years. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:53, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

We do have a contradiction here with the main page saying he's just a bachelor (who could never find the right girl, had too many bad ones, or some other unhappy heterosexual scenario) and this page saying otherwise. I certainly remember being surprised many, many years ago to read he was homosexual, but I don't recall where that was, or whether it would pass our current standards of reliability.

But if you guys are saying that it's not definitely established, well then I guess that's the case.

I was told in the '90s that Tom Cruise was definitely gay because he was at some gay resort on Long Island by someone who'd seen him there. I offered an alternative explanation, namely, he's an open-minded guy and his gay buddy invited him over for the weekend (since his wife was having her curlers put in, for example) for a swim in the pool, and it means nothing whatsoever. The response was: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't work that way. So who knows? Sorry, this wasn't firsthand; it was this fellow's best friend who was the eyewitness. And we're already well into hearsay at this point. God knows.

Republicanism and socialism. Hmmm, National Socialism. Mussolini started as a socialist from a family of socialists who named him after socialist hero, Juarez. That does not equate Fascism and socialism; I think that demonstrates that people change their stripe. I was pro-Nixon in 1970. Reagan was Democrat when his wife was, and Republican when his wife was.

Liberation theology. Things in Central America were pretty nasty in the 1980s with Reagan and his terror armies and those cigar-smoking scumbag Contra leaders lounging around in Miami on the US taxpayer's dime. (I was pro-Reagan at that time. Hard to believe now. That is how propaganda works.) Liberation theology explicitly, or ideas of that sort, were broadly popular at the time, for obvious reasons. So Romero having sympathy with that, at that time, wouldn't necessarily be something worthy of note; everybody was thinking along those lines in the 1980s. It was normal; it was probably even more normal if your background was Hispanic.
