charytin goyco (television)

Charytín Goyco (born May 23, 1944), better known in the show business plainly as Charytín, is a singer and actress from the Dominican Republic. Born in Santo Domingo to a Dominican father and a Spanish mother (her mother was an attorney from Asturias, Spain who found herself exiled during the regime of Francisco Franco), her mother took her and her sister to Spain after breaking up with her father. She returned to the Dominican Republic after nearly ten years of living abroad, when her parents reconciled.
Charytín moved to Puerto Rico in the 1970s, where she met her husband, television actor and producer Elin Ortiz. She immediately identified herself with Puerto Rico's living so much, that she started identifying herself as Puerto Rican. During the 1970s, she began a weekly TV show on WAPA-TV and that show lasted until 1985 every Sunday night. During the 1970s, Charytín became an international superstar, with her song Mosquita Muerta, named after a character she played on a comedy section of her show, becoming a chart topper in places like Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. In 1979, she and Elin had their first son, Shalim, who is now a budding singer and actor that has appeared on Lizzie McGuire, among other shows.
During the 1980s, the Puerto Rican press came out with reports that she and fellow singing superstar Iris Chacon were bitter enemies, but both singers deny that to this date. Iris was married to Elin Ortiz from 1969 to 1970.
In 1983, Charytín made a movie in Spanish named Verano En Nueva York with Mexican actor Julio Alemán. (Summer In New York). Two of the songs on that movie's soundtrack, Tu Vida Es Un Suspenso Hasta El Final & Para Llegar, became another chart toppers for Charytín. In 1986, she and Chacon acted together, alongside Dominican-Mexican actor Andres Garcia and Puerto Rican best selling singer, Yolandita Monge, on a soap opera named Escandalo. This telenovela did not enjoy much success and was cut by half by the producers. In 1988, she moved to Miami with Elin and Shalim, and in late 1989, she became pregnant again, giving birth in 1990 to a pair of twins: a boy and a girl.
During the early 1990s, she dedicated herself to raise her twins, taking them along on the few tours she did and her several trips to Puerto Rico. Late in the 1990s, she returned to television, hosting a show for a television shopping network. In 2002, she began hosting a celebrity gossip show, Escándalo TV, for Telefutura, and rumors abounded that she and Chacon will join forces for a TV show in the future. However, these rumors never became a reality.
On April 19, 2003, Charytin won the Asociación de Cronistas de Espectáculos de Nueva York's Premio Extraordinario ACE por Distinción y Mérito (ACE Extraordinary Award for Distinction and Merit) at its 35th Annual ACE Awards presentation.[1],

[edit] Musical Influence
Boyar became a United States citizen after residing in the country from the age of six. She is a dedicated student of the folk music of all countries.
She was called the satin Latin song stylist. and sometimes the Ruban Blue-Bird. Walter Winchell said that she was the finest Latin talent in the entertainment field in 1960.
During the 1939 New York World's Fair she made a concerted effort to persuade Americans to adopt the Dominican Republic's native dance, the merengue. An initial reluctance eventually subsided, and by 1955 it was the fastest growing dance in the U.S. When Boyar introduced calypso songs to America, many felt the music was not commercial. By 1954 calypso songs were among the bestsellers.
She introduced a new song, That's Why A Woman Loves A Heel, in October 1945. By 1948 Boyar had appeared on every overseas radio network. Boyar entertained at Ciro's in Mexico City and the Hotel Nacional in Havana. Among her numerous nightclub engagements was a December 1955 performance at the Viennese Lantern, at 242 East 79th Street in Yorkville, Manhattan. A lawsuit was taken out by an angry tenant who resided above the club. He contended that Boyar's bongo drummer kept him awake.

[edit] Theater
Boyar made her debut as an actress on Broadway in August 1948, in Summer and Smoke. She played an alluring Mexican woman who she at first disliked depicting. She became an overnight sensation after she was selected for this role by Tennessee Williams.
She caused a stir when she abruptly walked off from a matinee performance of 13 Daughters (1961). She left Don Ameche and other cast members speechless and resorting to ad libbing. Boyar was incensed by drilling during construction of the Americana Hotel. As she was departing she expressed her anger to the building foreman.

[edit] Clothing Designer
Boyar was a fashion designer for stage and motion picture stars. Her designs were very original yet simple. She also created expensive handbags. She had over two hundred gowns to wear to performances in her New York City apartment.

[edit] Other
She appeared in Princess Papaya (1945). The concert film directed by Josef Berne included footage of vocalist Sylvia Opert. Boyar played a singer in an episode of the television show Mister Peepers, in 1952. In 1961 she received a Universal Pictures screen test.
Marlon Brando visited Boyar, who was a friend of his, when she was hospitalized at Lennox Hill Hospital, in January 1955. She married comedian Lee Tully in March 1958 and divorced him in Mexico in June. She was previously married to actor Leslie Nielsen. Boyar and Nielsen were married for five years, separating in August 1955. Nielsen obtained a default divorce in June 1956. He agreed to pay $19,000 in lieu of alimony with monthly instalments of $500.

julissa bermudez (television)

Julissa Bermudez was born on September 28, 1983 in the Dominican Republic, and was raised in Queens, New York in the USA.

[edit] Early life
The youngest and only girl of four siblings, Bermudez grew up in Queens in a close-knit family that encouraged her dreams of stardom. While attending New York's Talent Unlimited High School as a theatre major, Bermudez started auditioning and modeling. She got her first big break with a Coca-Cola commercial, and she was one of the six finalists who competed to represent singer Jennifer Lopez' sweetface fashion line.

[edit] Career
From there, Bermudez started working as a VJ for Mun2, a Latin music television network where her Dominican heritage and bilingual skills were advantages. However, what helped her out even more was her insatiable desire to learn everything she could about the television industry.
She was the host of BET's The Center and was a temporary cohost of 106 & Park after BET personalities A.J. Calloway and Free left the show, but was replaced (along with her usual cohost Big Tigger) on July 10, 2006 by Rocsi and Terrence J, two BET personalities who won the previous years' BET New Faces Contest. Julissa's title is currently that of "BET Host", despite the fact that she does not host her own show. Since The Center's cancellation, Julissa has made appearances on BET's The Black Carpet as a correspondent and on May 22, 2007, she was a guest host (along with Trey Songz) on 106 & Park.
As the network's first Latina host, Bermudez has become a role model for much of her community. She is proud that her success is encouraging others. In years to come, Bermudez hopes to have the opportunity to show her culture on the grander scale.
She will next appear opposite Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the dancing film Make it Happen, from The Weinstein Company.

[edit] Personal Life
Bermudez's boyfriend is Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson. She is close friends with Hip-Hop/Soul Duo Nina Sky and American Idol finalist Antonella Barba.

magali febles (dueñ de miss puerto rico,santomingo)

Magali Febles (born 1951) is a famous Dominican beautician. She is the former owner of two luxurious salons,Magali Febles Salon and Spa in San Juan. Unfortunately for Febles, due to financial complications, she had no other choice but to sell these and dedicate her time to events production.
Febles was named in 2003 as new national director of the Miss Puerto Rico contest. As such, she travels each year to the Miss Universe contest with Puerto Rico's representantives while she holds that position. In May of 2003 she travelled to Panama to watch for every detail concerning the care and behaviour of Miss Puerto Rico 2003, Carla Tricoli, in the weeks before the 2003 Miss Universe contest.
Febles gained nationwide fame in Puerto Rico towards the late 1990s and the early 2000s, as the organizers of both Miss Puerto Rico Universe and Miss World Puerto Rico contests began assigning her to care for every detail concerning their respective winner's beauty care. She has been the object of many newspaper and magazine articles, and, after Tricoli won the Miss Puerto Rico contest, Periodico El Vocero published a photo article that showed her flying with Tricoli to Tricoli's native town of Vieques, where they were received by a small gathering of fans at Vieques airport.
Rumors surfaced, in September of 2003, that Febles was interested in becoming the national director of the Miss Republica Dominicana contest too. At the time, Febles did not deny or confirm this, saying only that that "seems like an interesting idea". On November of 2003, with Amelia Vega on her left, Febles was announced as the new national director of Miss Republica Dominicana, becoming the first Dominican to head two Miss Universe affiliated contests at the same time. In 2005 complaints arose that Miss Republica Dominicana pageant had to be managed locally due to financials contrains in part of Febles.
On September of 2005, she was sued by Miss Puerto Rico 2005, Cynthia Olavarria, who allegued mistreatment towards Miss Puerto Rico winners and favoritism towards Miss Dominican Republic winners by Febles. The lawsuit also allegued that previous Miss Puerto Rico winners had also suffered mistreatment by Febles. Febles answered by stating on national television that she does not have that amount of money. Alleguedly, she also sent a representative to ask Olavarria to give up her title as Miss Puerto Rico during one of Olavarria's personal appearances. Nevertheless, she was ordered by a court to allow Olavarría to present the crown at the 2006 contest.
