4. A CLASSIC WARNER BROS. MERRIE MELODIES CARTOON MADE FUN OF HIS BIG FEET.
The wonderful 1941 animated short “Hollywood Steps Out” by Tex Avery lampoons the celebrities of the time. Everyone from Bogart to Bette Davis is shown in a glamorous nightclub. Romero is shown dancing with redhead Rita Hayworth. His big feet have torn off the bottom of her dress. Of course, in reality, he was far more graceful.
5. COAST GUARD
In 1942, the movie star voluntarily enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard and served in the Pacific aboard the USS Cavalier. He humbly asked for no favors and was just one one the crew, earning the rank Chief Boatswain’s Mate.
6. HE WAS IN FOUR MOVIES WITH FRANK SINATRA.
Many will likely remember Romero as the adversary to the Rat Pack in Ocean’s 11. Ol’ Blue Eyes and the handsome Cuban also teamed up in Around the World in 80 Days, Pepe and Marriage on the Rocks.
