Gabrielle Anwar danced the tango with Al Pacino in the movie Scent of a Woman and, most recently, starred as Fiona Glenanne in the USA Network TV show Burn Notice. In 1994, she was named one of People Magazine’s most beautiful people. Additionally, but no less of note, Ms. Anwar supports philanthropy in Miami. We spoke with the British actress at the 19th annual InterContinental Miami™ Make-A-Wish Ball.
Next month will make five years since we spoke with actor Omar Benson Miller [see here]. You might recall the actor for his role in the Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and Jennifer Lopez movie Shall We Dance or for his recurring spot on the TV show CSI: Miami.
Over the years, people have ended up on CYInterview in their quest to figure out if Mr. Miller is related to Oscar winning actor Forest Whitaker. In 2008, Omar told us a rumor began on Wikipedia which led some to believe the two were related. Though no one can deny the physical resemblance, they are not related.
For over 25 years, actor John Leguizamo has shown us his acting abilities in a variety of diverse roles, on television and in the movies. At the Miami International Film Festival a few weeks ago, the actor sat down with me to talk about his first full length Spanish language film, which was shot in his native Colombia. As we began speaking prior to our CYInterview, I realized how easygoing and fun John is. He is that friend you go to a football game or bar with and chat for hours about anything.
Recently we shared with you some photos from the Voices for Children Gala at the Mandarin Oriental Miami hotel in Brickell [see here]. During that evening’s festivities, we had a chance to CYInterview actor Christian Slater, for a second time. We last caught up with the actor at last year’s Miami Make-A-Wish Ball [see here]. The Hollywood veteran and his girlfriend Brittany Lopez were the evening’s honorary co-chairs for the Voices for Children Gala. You can see the three of us in the photograph above.
Early this month we attended the Fashion for Charity event at the Miami Science Museum, where we spoke with accessory designer Candy Woolley [see here]. The evening’s celebrity host was Mexican actress Nadia Escobar. The 35 year old actress has appeared in a variety of Hispanic soap operas including El Talisman, La Case de al Lado and Corazon Valiente.
