Feliz cumpleaños to Cantinflas. Today, the beloved Mexican actor, comedian, writer, and producer, born Fortino Mario Alfonso Moreno Reyes, would have turned 103. I’ll be waiting in line to the movie, Cantinflas, based on his life, when it opens in Mexico on September 19, 2014. For those in the USA, you get first crack, as it is scheduled to open on August 29, 2014.

I would also like to say RIP, Robin Williams, another actor with the gift of combining humor and pathos. How blessed we are to have shared this planet with both and to continue to have the opportunity to experience their creative genius.

Hey Shannon I painted it, so happy yo see it in your blog. 😀
Wow, you are multi-talented! I’ll credit you. 😉
Today my mother would have been 103 also. Mary Machuca lived to be 97.
Seriously?
I love how he would talk and talk and say nothing! He is classic.
I know! As a child, I remember seeing him in old black and white movies with subtitles on our small black and white TV.
