Raúl Juliá was a Golden Globe award winning actor from Puerto Rico who lived and worked for many years in the United States. His career spanned stage and screen, and included dramatic, comic, and musical roles in theater, film and television, challenging audiences with his complex, often enthralling performances.
Carmen Miranda was a Portuguese-Brazilian samba singer and motion picture star most active in the 1940s. Carmen's Hollywood image was one of a generic Latinness that blurred the distinctions between Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico as well as between samba, tango and habanera. It was carefully stylized and outlandishly flamboyant. She was often shown wearing platform sandals and towering headdresses made of fruit, becoming famous as "the lady in the tutti-frutti hat."
She was well aware of the tensions in her career. During a visit to Brazil in 1940, she was heavily criticized for giving in to American commercialism and projecting a false image of Brazil. She responded with the Portuguese language song "Disseram Que Voltei Americanizada," or "They Say I've Come Back Americanized." Another song, "Bananas Is My Business," was based on a line in one of her movies and directly addressed her image. She was greatly upset by the criticism and did not return to Brazil again for 14 years.
