Did You Know?
| Trivia | Following Fidel Castro's death at the age of 90 in 2016, Andy Garcia expressed, "It is necessary for me to express the deep sorrow that I feel for all the Cuban people both inside and outside of Cuba that have suffered the atrocities and repression caused by Fidel Castro and his totalitarian regime. The promises of his so-called revolution of pluralism and democracy, were to continue to be a false promise and a betrayal of all basic human rights... I pray for what I have always prayed for: the restoration of our constitution and absolute freedom for the people of Cuba. The dream is very much alive. Let the spirit of Jose Marti, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. show us the way."" See more » |
