LIFE IN CUBA WILLIAM LEVY

Sexy Cuban William Levy on Life in Cuba
 WILLIAM LEVY LIFE IN CUBA
Cuban born sexy sensation William Levy has salsa danced into our hearts on "Dancing With the Stars," but while this Cuban actor and former underwear model seems to be on top of the world now, his life wasn't always so glamorous.
Thirty one year old William Levy, talks about growing up in Havana, Cuba, and spending much of his childhood hungry. He told America TV that every family's food was rationed, and with each person allocated a daily portion of bread, and a quarter of a chicken each month. Children were also given a milk ration until they turned 3. As a teenager, Levy said he dreams of escaping on a raft and risking his life to get to the United States.
"It's a do-or-die situation," he said. "You can't just stay there and just let people step all over you."
He was 14 when his family was granted political asylum in the U.S. and moved to Miami. Levy said he remembers being thunder-struck on his first trip to the grocery store.
"I never saw an apple before in my life," he said, laughing. "Strawberry, I never saw before in my life."
"My uncle told me, you know, just go ahead, get this little cart and go ahead and get whatever you want," he continued. "So I saw a box of strawberries. I open, I get a strawberry and I get an apple…my uncle started crying, you know, but laughing at me."
Levy said the experience of leaving Cuba and coming to the U.S. taught him to appreciate how lucky he is.
"Every time I eat, I think about it, 'Oh my God, imagine if I ate this in Cuba,'" he said. "You get to enjoy so much everything you do. For me, life is incredible."
But much has changed since Levy was that skinny little boy from Cuba who was teased when he first arrived in Florida.
He played baseball in college and bulked up, which didn't hurt his career as an underwear model.
Levy got into acting almost a decade ago and is now arguably the king of the tele novela, the massively popular genre of Spanish-language soap operas with a loyal global audience.
Levy's reputation as a lady-killer has caught headlines over the years. Rumors swirled that Levy was having an affair with Jennifer Lopez after he starred as her love interest in her music video, "I'm Into You." At the time, J.Lo was going through a divorce from then-husband Marc Anthony. But Levy denied the affair.
"I wish I could explain," he said. "I try to live my life and, you know, try to keep doing what I'm doing, and not let these things or comments get in my head."
But much of his life has been chronicled on the covers of Spanish People magazine, including his long-term relationship with Mexican-American actress Elizabeth Gutierrez. The couple has two children together, but Levy said he is not ready to get married. At least not yet.
"Right now I'm pretty comfortable in, you know, in my position that I have now," he said.

Pitbulls Cuban mother kicked him out of their house at age 16 for dealing drugs like his father. He barely graduated from Miami Coral Park High School. After high school Pitbull abandoned the drug dealing and finally focused on his music career instead of drugs. He found it hard to crack the Hip-Hop music genre because he is white, from the South and  of coarse Cuban.

EMILIO ESTEFAN


EMILIO ESTEFAN

Emilio Estefan, Jr., (born in Cuba on March 4, 1953) is a Cuban musician and producer of Lebanese ancestry. Estefan's first taste of celebrity came as a member of the Miami Sound Machine, but he is currently better known as the producer of many famous singers. In 1968, Estefan moved to the United States, where he shared an apartment with 15 family members. He earned a living by running errands for neighbors, using an old car. Estefan then began to work at local beauty contests, and at Bacardi, where he was employed as a mailroom worker. He reached the position of the company's Latin marketing department. Emilio's real passion, however, remained with music. He started a group which became known as the "Miami Latin Boys". The group had success, being hired to play at multiple private parties and events around Miami. It was during one such event in 1975 that Emilio met Gloria Estefan, then Gloria Fajardo. He asked her to join their group, and the group was renamed "Miami Sound Machine". In 1977, Gloria decided to join the band. In the band, Miami Sound Machine, Emilio played the accordion. In 1978, Emilio and Gloria Estefan were married. By the early 1980s, the group, which also included Cristina Saralegui's future husband Marcos, had become a major international band, with such songs as "Get On Your Feet" and "Conga" becoming number one hits in many countries. The group's success came after Emilio had signed them to an exclusive contract with CBS Records. In 1980, the couple's first son, Nayib, was born. He has gone on to follow in his father's footsteps as a music producer. After Gloria Estefan decided to leave the group and embark on a solo career in 1987, Emilio Estefan made the decision to become a full time music producer. The success that Gloria Estefan experienced as a solo singer made Emilio Estefan a popular producer among Hispanic singers. He began to arrange albums for a wide array of singers, and the Estefans became friends with their compatriots, Celia Cruz and Pedro Knight. By the late 1980s, the Estefans already owned a mansion in one of Miami's exclusive neighborhoods' and Emilio Estefan owned a studio. In 1994, a daughter, Emily, was born to Emilio and Gloria Estefan. She has already expressed interest in the show business world. In 1995, one student from Howard University was killed and another was injured when their personal water craft collided with the Estefans' pleasure boat. . In 2002, Estefan began to produce the Grammy Latino Awards, a yearly ceremony that is televised. In 2003, an actor alleged that Emilio Estefan had harassed him, but the actor turned out to really be a stalker; he was arrested by Miami police while trying to illegally enter the Estefan mansion. On August 24, 2005, Estefan and well known rap singer P. Diddy announced the joint creation of a new record label, to help Hispanic rap singers. In November it was announced that Emilio will be the Executive Producer for Jennifer Lopez's first Spanish album entitled Como Ama Una Mujer due for released in January 2006.

THE WOMEN OF FIDEL CASTRO

Fidel Castro's Women  El Commandante

Cuba's Fidel Castro, Cuba's dictator, has over 11 children by a Chain of Women.

FIDEL CASTRO: Fidel Castro's Cuba full of his offspring after years of El Commandante's womanising Fidel Castro CubaWomen of Fidel
  FIDEL CASTO RUZ, is the famous Cuban leader with countless female admirers in New York, 1959 Photo: GETTY
Fidel Castro is famous in Cuba for his vitality and longevity. But his fellows comrades and compatriots know nothing about where El Commandante Fidel has proved invincible which is in his private life.
It was forbidden to discuss Fidel's womanizing ways as strictly taboo on this Cuban Communist outpost, even on an island where the gossip grapevine flourishes in the absence of a free news reporters.
But a long-time Cuban aficionado has now revealed the heavy scale of his wild philandering and the discovery of at least 10 offspring that we know of and countless others that rumor have not yet confirmed. That is more than previously believed  but very possibly not the full tally.
When American prize winning journalist Ann Louise Bardach asked Castro how many children he had during an interview with Vanity Fair in 1993, he smiled and answered "almost a tribe".
During the research for Without Fidel, her new book chronicling the lives of Fidel  Castro and his brother, Raul, to be published by Scribner, she discovered how true that observation was.
Fidel Castro is 83 years old and a dashing young man whose good looks and rebel swagger clearly leant him a strong sexual appetite during the years before and after the Cuban revolution. Cuban news reports describe female fans swooning after Fidel Castro of Cuba arrived in Havana and during early trips to the US.
 At that time it was believed that Fidel had one child, Fidelito (Little Fidel), with his first wife Myrta Diaz-Balart in 1949 and five boys between 1962 and 1974 with Dalia Soto del Valle, a invisible companion whom he is said to have secretly married in 1980. Remarkably, she was first shown on Cuban television in 2003 - "so forbidden" was Castro's personal domain, Ms Bardach observes.
However Castro had several other children from many other women - most notably from the time when the young rebel leader celebrated his release from prison in 1955 for a failed uprising.
  Four Castro offspring were born to three women during 1956. Most famously, there was Natalia Revuelta, an aristocratic beauty who became a passionate defender of his Cuban revolution - she bore him a daughter, Alina Fernandez Castro.
Ms Ann Bardach, an investigative journalist and a member of the Cuba Study Group at the Brookings Institution think-tank, had previously reported the existence of another illegitimate 1956 child, Panchita Pupo. Panchita Castro was not even known to his other children and her mother still remains unidentified.
Ann reveals the identity of the mother of Jorge Angel Castro, the third Castro child of 1956 - Maria Laborde, an admirer who Castro met just after was he released from Cuban Prison.
  Bardach also discloses another son known as Ciro, the early 1960s product of another wild exotic romance. Ciro Castro was previously unknown outside the family inner circle, but a close relative of Celia Sanchez, Castro's closest confidante and yet another rumoured lover, revealed his existence to the author.
Ciro Castro was named after a Cuban revolutionary martyr and whose mother's name is still a Cuban state secret, is said to have "movie star looks", with green eyes and dark complexion. Ciro went into sports medicine after studying physical education at college, married a minor party official and lives in a Havana suburb where nobody knows his connection to his father Fidel Castro.
A Cuban intelligence defector that Fidel fathered another son in 1970 are true, that would take the count to 11 children by seven women - and still counting.
Fidel Castro's first name is derived from the Latin for "faithful", but while he has remained true to his politics, the same cannot be said of the women in his life. Fidel's offspring have followed their father's instructions not to flaunted their privileged political backgrounds and are rarely seen in the Cuban public, Fidel Castro's  first son, Fidelito, has received the highest recognition from his father however when he mishandled the country's nuclear power programme, his father ordered his immediate dismissal. "He was fired by his father Fidel for incompetence," Castro said. "We don't have a monarchy here. No one is Spared"
Many Cubans would, disagree with the last point - and with good reason. After the crippling intestinal disease of diverticulitis nearly killed him in 2006, Fidel's brother Raul Castro Of Cubawas anointed to replace him. The younger Castro brother was confirmed as Cuba's Official president last year in a handover which appeared preordained.
  Ann Bardach predicts that the most likely member of the powerful Castro family's next generation to emerge as a future Cuban leader is Raul's first son, Alejandro, 43, a colonel and rising star in the powerful interior ministry The  controversial book also discloses the explosive inside story of how Raul Castro purged two close lieutenants of his older brother. Carlos Lage, the economics czar, and Felipe Perez Roque, the foreign minister, had both been considered possible future leaders, but were ousted for making jokes and poking fun at Fidel & Raul after a surveillance sting operation.
In classic old communist style, the two men were forced to write embarrassing resignation letters to the Cuban Communist press for political sins which are still unclear. Raul Castro who was previously the veteran defence minister, moved many of his allies from the armed forces into virtually every area of Cuban government and the economy - apparently inspired by the incredible success of the Powerful People's Liberation Army of China.
Ms Ann Bardach states that Fidel Castro's pride and obstinacy almost proved fatal when he rejected the recommended surgery in 2006 - a colostomy. Fidel Castro insisted on a much riskier operation as he did not want to suffer the embarrassing indignity of living with an attached pissing bag.
The riskier operation failed and Fidel Castro was nearly killed by a peritonitis infection. After a life-saving colostomy was finally performed, Ms Bardach reports that Castro was distraught. "Fidel was crying," a source present in the hospital told her. "He cried several times that day. Fidel was devastated."
  Ann's contacts at the Cuban medical system told her that Castro was fed intravenously for five months after the surgery and lost 45 pounds. A famous Spanish doctor brought into Cuba to treat Fidel feared he was "starving to death" and gradually restored solid foods to a highly restrictive diet.
  Fidel's occasional photo shoots with visiting left-wing Latin American proteges like Hugo Chavez, Castro has abandoned his old uniform of olive fatigues.
Instead, Fidel prefers the athletic looking track suits because they hide the hated colostomy bag - emblematic of his transformation from womanizing Cuban revolutionary heart-throb to frail octogenarian.
Fidel however had a great romantic life with at least 11 children to prove it.
We should all be so lucky.

Andy Garcia

                                               ANDY GARCIA OF CUBA

Andy García nació el 12 de abril de 1956 en La Habana, Cuba. Hijo de un abogado cubano, salió en 1961 para instalarse en Miami. Estudió en la Universidad Internacional de Florida y tras graduarse se mudó a Los Angeles en busca de un oportunidad, donde estuvo trabajando en diversos oficios: como camarero y como botones en el Hotel Beverly Hilton.


Su primer trabajo artístico le llegó con la famosa serie televisiva 'Canción triste de Hill Street' (1985). Tras esta primera toma de contacto con el mundo de la interpretación comienza en el cine con papeles pequeños en los que su origen latino se funde con sus personajes. La primera película en la que participa se tituló 'A night in heaven' (1983) a la que siguieron otros títulos destacables como 'Black Rain' (1989) de Ridley Scott. Pero su verdadero reconocimiento tanto a nivel nacional como internacional lo consiguió al intervenir en la película de Francis Ford Coppola, 'El Padrino III'.
Podemos decir que él es el verdadero precursor del 'boom' latino en norteamérica y durante la práctica totalidad de la década de los ochenta fue el único representante del latin lover en la industria cinematográfica hollywoodiense. Quizás en los años noventa su intensidad de trabajo haya disminuido con la aparición de nuevos talentos latinos como el internacional actor español Antonio Banderas.
En 1996 estuvo España para rodar 'Muerte en Granada', un largometraje en el que dio vida al poeta andaluz 'Federico García Lorca'.
Lleva casado muchos años con María Victoria con la que tiene tres hijos Dominik, Daniella y Alessandra, aunque debido a la gran protección que ejerce sobre su familia y privacidad poco ha trascendido de su vida personal. Es conocida su afición por la música cubana y ha hecho sus pinitos en este campo actuando en conciertos de algún músico amigo.

Su atractivo físico y su aspecto de caballero apuesto y sobrio le han facilitado en más de una ocasión el trabajo.
