You Have The Right To Remember Carmen Miranda!

Ah yes, I remember Carmen Miranda. Also remember the famous Carmen Miranda- Cesar Romero photo.

 

Who would want to forget these two iconic performers?? I remember being a little girl and pretending to be Carmen Miranda. I could never get the right headress, though. But I really tried to dance like her.

 

As a kid, I recall seeing her dancing with bowls of fruit on her head.

 

I yi yi yi yi - I like you very much

She is wonderful - I like her very much !

 

We watched the fabulous Jimmy Durante last night and Carmen was guest on his show - FAB !
The picture was poor from You Tube - who cares, when its them two

 

Many were unaware she had a cousin, Carleton.

 

It is believed that Carmen Miranda suffered a heart attack during this appearance with Jimmy Durante, she died of a second heart attack in her home that same night.

I dressed up like her one year for a big Halloween party. I had made my headdress out of plastic fruit but it still felt like it weighed a ton. By the end of the evening my neck and head hurt so bad I thought I'd pass out. I won second prize, though.
