| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I thought it was very humanitarian of Sean Penn and Madonna to marry each other. That way, they make only two people miserable instead of four. |
| 2 | I had enormous fun playing the Joker on Batman (1966). I ended up doing something like 20 episodes of Batman, as well as the full-length feature film version [Batman: The Movie (1966)]. There was certainly nothing hard about that assignment! Even the makeup sessions weren't too bad. It took about an hour-and-a-half to put the full makeup on, including the green wig. I didn't mind it at all. |
| 3 | I was never stereotyped as just a Latin lover in any case because I played so many parts in so many pictures. I was more of a character actor than a straight leading man. I did many kinds of characters -- Hindus, Indians, Italians. There were very few pictures where I ended up with the girl. |
| 4 | I was very surprised when [producer William Dozier] called me and said he was doing a series called Batman (1966) and the important characters were the villains. They had done the first two with the Riddler and the Penguin with Frank Gorshin and Burgess Meredith, and now they were ready to do the third, and the villain was the Joker. He said, "I would like you to play the part." So I said I would like to read the script and know what it is all about. He said, "Come on over to the studio, and I will show you the film of the first episode." Of course, it was great. I said, "Let me read this Joker part, and if it is as good as the first one, hell yes, I will do it." So I read the script, and I thought it was a gas, and I said, "Sure, I'll do it.". |
| 5 | Why [producer William Dozier] wanted me for Batman (1966), I'll never know, because I asked his wife, Ann Rutherford, "Why did Bill think of me for this part?". She said, "I don't know, Butch. He said he saw you in something, and he said, 'He's the one I want to play the Joker'." I haven't the slightest idea what it was he saw me in, because I had never done anything like it before. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | At fifty-nine, he is the oldest actor to play The Joker in live-action. |
| 2 | Was good friends with Adam West. |
| 3 | As of 2015, he was the only live-action Joker not to be nominated for or receive an Academy Award. |
| 4 | Cesar Romero passed away only eighteen days after his The Thin Man (1934) co-star Myrna Loy. |
| 5 | Cesar Romero passed away 12 years later on the same day as Batman (1966) Special Guest Villain Victor Buono. |
| 6 | He was cremated after death and his ashes were interred at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. |
| 7 | He was a guest at the house of Tyrone Power on May 19, 1946 when Primula Niven, wife of actor David Niven, fell down a flight of stairs, sustaining injuries that would later lead to her death. |
| 8 | Had appeared with Carole Landis in four films: Dance Hall (1941), A Gentleman at Heart (1942), Orchestra Wives (1942) and Wintertime (1943). |
| 9 | Had appeared with Betty Grable in four films: Springtime in the Rockies (1942), Coney Island (1943), That Lady in Ermine (1948) and The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend (1949). |
| 10 | Had appeared with Frank Sinatra in four films: Around the World in Eighty Days (1956), Ocean's 11 (1960), Pepe (1960) and Marriage on the Rocks (1965). |
| 11 | Had appeared with John Carradine in four films: Clive of India (1935), Frontier Marshal (1939), Around the World in Eighty Days (1956) and Broken Sabre (1965). |
| 12 | Had appeared with Binnie Barnes in five films: Diamond Jim (1935), Rendezvous (1935), Always Goodbye (1938), Wife, Husband and Friend (1939) and Frontier Marshal (1939). |
| 13 | His evil laugh as the Joker on Batman (1966) was created almost by accident. Shortly after being cast, Romero met with producers to discuss his role on the series. While waiting to meet with them, he happened to see conceptual art of the Joker's costuming. Romero felt that the pictures almost look absurd, and as a result, spontaneously broke out into a playfully loud and almost manic laughter. A producer overhearing that laughter, responded by telling Romero "That's it, that your Joker's laugh!". |
| 14 | He was awarded 2 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 6615 Hollywood Boulevard; and for Television at 1719 Vine Street in Hollywood, California. |
| 15 | At 6' 3" he was the tallest actor to have played the Joker in a (non-fan-made) live-action Batman production. Heath Ledger was six-foot-one and Jack Nicholson was about 5' 9". |
| 16 | He was the first actor to play the DC Comics character the Joker in a live-action adaptation of the Batman series. |
| 17 | Is one of two Batman villains to share roles with actors who played Batman. He, Adam West and Val Kilmer have all played John "Doc" Holliday, in Frontier Marshal (1939), Colt .45 (1957), Lawman (1958) and Tombstone (1993), respectively. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger both played Bob Dylan in I'm Not There. (2007). |
| 18 | He believed that to live well you must dress well. And never in the same outfit. His closets held 30 tuxedos, 200 sports jackets, and 500 suits. |
| 19 | Has never worked directly with George Clooney, but Clooney has starred in two remakes of movies Romero was in. Romero played the Joker on Batman (1966), and Clooney played Batman in Batman & Robin (1997). Romero also appeared in the original Ocean's 11 (1960), the remake of which -- Ocean's Eleven (2001) -- starred Clooney. |
| 20 | His maternal grandparents were exiled Cubans Carmen and her invalid husband, Manuel Mantilla. Their daughter, María Mantilla -- Romero's mother -- is generally believed to have been the daughter of Cuban poet and revolutionary hero José Martí, who wrote the verse used in "Guantánamera" ("Yo soy un hombre sincero..."). |
| 21 | Refused to shave off his trademark mustache when he played the role of the Joker on Batman (1966). Close observation shows how the white clown makeup was applied right over his much loved mustache. |
| 22 | Television writer Mark Evanier remarked that Romero was usually easily available to cast for television series guest appearances. Apparently, Evanier knew at least one crew member on a television series who prepared roles with Romero in mind as a default choice in the likely event that a preferred guest star would pull out of a guest appearance. |
