Biography

Early life

Garcia was born Andres Arturo Garcia Menendez in Havana, Cuba, into an Italian[citation needed] family. His mother, Amelie Menéndez, was an English teacher, and his father, francis Guerrazzi.[ was a lawyer in Cuba[1] and later a businessman in the United States. He has an older brother, Rene, and was born with a conjoined twin brother who was surgically removed.[2] When Garcia was five years old, the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion forced the family to move to Miami, Florida, where they performed various types of work in order to survive. Over a period of several years, however, they built up a million-dollar perfume company. García was raised as a Catholic[3] and attended Miami Beach Senior High School, where he played on the basketball team. During his last year in high school, however, he became seriously ill with hepatitis,[4] which convinced him to pursue a career in acting.


Career

Garcia began acting at Florida International University, but soon went to Hollywood. He started to perform in very short roles, working part-time as waiter and in a warehouse. His chance arose when he was offered a role as a gang member in the first episode of the popular TV series Hill Street Blues. Director Brian de Palma liked his performance in the 1986 movie 8 Million Ways to Die and engaged him the following year for The Untouchables, which made Garcia a popular Hollywood actor. In 1989, Francis Ford Coppola was casting The Godfather Part III. The character Vincent Corleone, the illegitimate son of Sonny Corleone, was an exceptional part which many actors wanted. Garcia was not the only one of the few actors capable of carrying the part, but he also bore a resemblance to Robert De Niro, who played the role of young Vito Corleone, Vincent's grandfather, in The Godfather Part II. The role thus went to Garcia, who earned an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his performance and became an internationally acclaimed star.

In the following years, Garcia has performed in a wide variety of films. He has appeared also in several TV films. While not in the same vein of movie stars dominating the box office, Garcia has remained equally strong in both leading and supporting roles. One of his more well-known films was the 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven, in which he played Terry Benedict, the ruthless Las Vegas mogul who just happens to be seeing the estranged wife (Julia Roberts) of George Clooney's character. Garcia reprised the role in the 2004 sequel, although many noted that the part was significantly smaller than the one he played in the first film. He has finished and released The Lost City which he co-wrote, directs, and stars in, alongside Dustin Hoffman and Bill Murray. Upon its release, "The Lost City" sparked controversy in Latin America due to its negative portrayal of the Cuban Revolution, and Che Guevara in particular. Garcia is a fervent critic of the Cuban government.


Personal life

In 1982, he married María Victoria Lorido. He is the father of three daughters and one son. The Garcia family lives in Los Angeles and Miami. They are practicing Catholics.[3]

Just a few things I was wondering about.......


Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze

these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out"?


Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible

crisp which no decent human being would eat?


Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?


If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?


Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?


If the professor on Gillian's Island can make a radio out of coconut,

why can't he fix a hole in a boat?


Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't

point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?


Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are

going to look up there anyway?


Why does goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're

both dogs!


What do you call male ballerinas?


Can blind people see their dreams? Do they dream??


Why ARE Trix only for kids?


If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn't

he just buy dinner?


Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?


If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?


If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from

vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?


If a man is talking in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him, is

he still wrong?


Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion

stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint

somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?


If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?


Is Disney World the only people trap operated by a mouse?


Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same

tune?


Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?


Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but

call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?

Well, folks, the hawkman has spoken. Great bio's BostonBob, and we love your funny questions.

When hurricanes began using the names of males, my husband observed that they ought to call hemorrhoids, "herorrhoids".

I once had a student tell me, "Ms. Letty, you give too many testes."

I used to get Herbie Hancock and Herbie Mann confused, but here is one great song, folks.




WATERMELON MAN
Herbie Hancock


Hey - Watermelon Man
Hey - Watermelon Man
Bring me one that rattles when you lug it
One that's erd and juicy when you plug it
Do you understand - Watermelon Man
Hey - Watermelon Man
Hey - Watermelon Man
Hot and bothered need a little cooling
When I hear your call I start to drooling
Do you understand - Watermelon Man

Hope our spotted pup will be along shortly.

hi there , listeners !
here is a fine song you may want to sing for your supper
hbg

(and if you don't have the money ... have a glass of water :wink: )

Good afternoon.

Faces to match Bob's bios:

hbg, love that song, and it made me thirsty, Canada. I have an answer to it and shall play it after explaining our famous photo's by that adorable speckled pup.

Thanks, PA.

We're looking at Helen, Anne, Tiny Tim and his toy uke, the remarkable Herbie, David, and Andy.

Sorry that we can't play Bag's Groove, 'cause that is one great jazz instrumental done with a flute.

Ok, folks. Our Bear was talking about the caveman who does Geico commercials and that led me to think of this one, and hamburger, this is what Alley ate.

Back later with a song and another caveman.

Here's the other caveman, listeners.



The song that plays behind "caveman in the airport" is really lovely, folks, and done in a minor key.

Artist: royksopp
Song: remind me
Album: melody a.m.

(chorus)
Will remind, will remind, will remind me,
Will remind, will remind, will remind me,
Will remind, will remind, will remind me,
Will remind, will remind, will remind me.

It's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing, all that time in England

Has sent me aimlessly,
On foot or by the help of transportation,
To knock on windows where
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.

(chorus)

And everywhere I go,
There's always something to remind me
Of another place and time
Where love that travelled far had found me.

We stayed outside til two,
Waiting for the light to come back,
But hid in talk I knew,
Until you asked what I was thinking.

(chorus)

Brave men tell the truth,
A wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles,
A woman holds her tongue,
Knowing silence will speak for her.

So now I'll never know,
As you will only sleep beside me,
And everywhere I go...

(chorus)
(repeat)

It's only been a week,
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
Prevailing to recall
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
What I was missing all that time in England
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me.)

Has sent me aimlessly
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
On foot or by the help of transportation,
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
To knock on windows where
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me.)

(chorus)

KEN & BARBIE
Webpage Title

Letty,

This is the radio station I told you about that I went to. These guys and 1 girl are just hilarious. Bob, it is his show. I had to put my hands over my mouth to keep from laughing so it would not be heard on the radio. The site talks about the staff and their roles. Spike does have a band and he does sing in some of the videos. My favorite is Kosovo. It actually created an international incident between the United States and Kosovo. It wasn't even their (radio station) fault. It is all on the site and the video is great. I even asked (pleaded) that they allow it to be sold. The audio is theirs. That was pirated and a video was put to it. That video created the incident. Bob said they can't sell it. I didn't ask why. This song is Ken and Barbie. Once you click you see a blue circle and it does take about 10 seconds to load. It is not instant. I wanted to dedicate this to someone very sweet. The girl is Kaci and the guy is "their resident genius" Arik. When I was there they felt real bad but they had to catch a plane to OR to meet up with The Steve Miller Band. I guess he was more important. I do have a picture of me kissing Arik. (sigh)

Hey, TTH. I am so sorry that dial up Letty has problems with downloading stuff. By all means, let us see your picture kissing Arik. In the interim, I will check out your group and see what we can play here.

Letty, I did report myself to make sure it is okay. From everything I read I feel it is. The problem I have personally with posting pictures where I am with someone else, I don't like to without their permission. I feel that is not right. People say it is okay and I am sure it is okay legally, but morally I don't feel it is the right thing to do. Any pictures of myself that I have posted (like avatar) I crop the other person out. So, I am sorry but I don't feel it is okay to do that.


Can you imagine getting paid the big bucks for doing a job you love?
They do love their job and they do get paid the big bucks. That is rare.

I completely understand, TTH. I am the same way.

How could I forget the Dave Matthews Band. Their home base is in my old stomping grounds.

Here's one by them that dj played so long ago and it really cheered me up. I have changed one word, however. <smile>


Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my grits I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

Letty,
The song is very nice and I am glad you understand about the picture.

while it's not exactly cold in eastern ontario , it's not warm either !
the temperature has risen barely above freezing and it's been raining all day - it's pretty damp !
the springflowers are ready to break out ... but
so we'll have to forgo a "spring song" for now .

Pink Shoe Laces
Dodie Stevens

[Words and Music by Mickie Grant]


Now I've got a guy and his name is Dooley
He's my guy and I love him truly
He's not good lookin', heaven knows
But I'm wild about his crazy clothes

He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band

ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

He takes me deep-sea fishing in a submarine
We got to drive-in movies in a limousine
He's got a whirly-birdy and a 12-foot yacht
Ah, but thats-a not all he's got

He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band

Now Dooley had a feelin' we were goin' to war
So he went out and enlisted in a fightin' corps
But he landed in the brig for raisin' such a storm
When they tried to put 'em in a uniform

He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Now one day Dooley started feelin' sick
And he decided that he better make his will out quick
He said
"Just before the angels come to carry me
I want it down in writin' how to bury me."

A'wearin tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

And a big Panama with a purple hat band

ah, hamburger. Didn't know Ray did that one, Canada.

For you, then.

(f. loesser)

Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving, in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our april love old
Yes you have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say that spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Cause time heals all things, so i needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Yes time heals all things so i needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year

edgar, your song reminded me of Marty's "White Sports Coat and a Pink Carnation", but instead of that one how about this by Bobby Vinton who is still performing, Texas.

Roses Are Red (My Love)
Bobby Vinton

A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

We dated through high school.
And when the big day came,
I wrote into your book,
next to my name:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

Paper Roses
Anita Bryant

[Written by Janice Torre and Fred Spielman]

I realize the way your eyes deceived me
With tender looks that I mistook for love

So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of

Paper roses, paper roses
Oh, how real those roses seemed to be
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start

But like a big red rose
That's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness
In your heart

Paper roses, paper roses
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
But they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me

My, my, listeners. Wonder how many songs have been written about roses.

Remember Tony?

We were very happy
Well at least I thought we were
Can't somebody tell me
What's got into her
A house, a home, a family
And a man who loves her so
Who'd believe she'd leave us
To join a burlesque show?

Say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose?
Here's her picture when she was my
Sweet Mary Jo
Now she's got rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet gypsy Rose?

Oh, I know when Mary Jo's been dancin'
Here in New Orleans
In this smoke-filled honky-tonk
They call the land of dreams
Whoah, here she comes a-struttin'
In her birthday clothes
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet gypsy Rose?

Whoah, baby, baby,
Won'tcha come home
Say, we all miss ya
And every night we kiss your picture

Whoiah Rose, one night the lights go dim,
And the crowd goes home
That's the day you wake up
And you find you're all alone
So let's say goodbye to Gypsy
Hello Mary Jo
Say has anybody seen my
Sweet Gypsy Rose

(Instrumental)

So take those rings off your fingers
And bells off your toes
Say has anybody seen my
Now you know just what I mean by
Has anybody seen my Sweet Gypsy Rose

OH, SISTER

Music by Bob Dylan, Words by Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy

Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger.
Our Father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger.

Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow His direction?

We grew up together
From the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn
And then mysteriously saved.

Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.
