CESAR ROMERO

My Memories of meeting him ...

The Joker was in Victoria (late 70’s) – he was doing some play (I think) and signing autographs at a local bookstore and I'd accidentally ran into him by chance of luck. The autograph was free and I was delighted to get it!

I found my picture (shown above) in the internet ... it's looks like this! And, its inscribed ... From the Joker, to Erik, Best Regards!

Hi Erik,

I'm delighted that you met Cesar Romero, a gentleman though and through. I always smile whenever I see a photo of him or hear his name - he is one whom I'm happy to have known, if ever so slightly!!!

He was a favourite escort for several ladies, whenever they needed one - Joan Crawford, Hedy Lamarr and Agnes Moorehead among them.

He was the perfect joker too - one can see the sense of humour and ridiculousness through all that makeup...

Larry

Mongo, may I interject a belated "Wow!" for this photo from your August 2012 postings:

What a still! Do you know what films the boys would have been working on at the time?

I do not recall this image either Carrie. It's a great still. If I may intrude here, the only films I remember in which Chester Morris and Bob Montgomery acted together were "The Big House" (1930) and "The Divorcée" (1930), and due to their clothing I'd bet the photograph is from the latter.

A perfect choice, Carrie, since today is Chester's birthday.

I like Chester Morris and I love that picture. Pipes are something that have almost completely died out over here.
