Cesar Romeo & Carole's Friendship
Carole and Cesar Romero
I saw him in Brentwood, California... several times, in fact. I was always impressed with his astonishing physical appearance. He was tall, aristocratic, ramrod-straight posture, handsome with a great amount of silver hair and always dressed as though he was doing a photo shoot. I call to mind one time watching a juvenile girl shove an autograph novel in his face as she said are you a feature star? He gave her a huge, welcoming smile as he took the book and quill and said well I've done a few movies.
He answered that truthfully. Cesar Romero was never a star, per se. One probably couldn't count on two hands the number of times he was top-billed and even then never in a enormous film. Many of his roles were as men trying to woo the leading lady away from the leading man.
Never once in his 86 years did he ever publicly say I am gay although Hollywoodites suspected he was. Conversely, he was not opposed to talking all around it. He would acknowledge he had gay friends, attended gay parties and loved to dance. He would say that people often associate gay with men who are dancers. One of his most revealing comments came later in life
