FORGOTTEN LEGEND?

Just a little tease from the fascinating website of a true entertainment legend;

Successful singers are often described as acting out their songs, so it is only natural that Trini would be discovered as an equally talented actor.

He began by playing a priest and a parole officer on two of Jack Webb's "Adam 12" TV shows for Universal, which was aired on the NBC network. From there he went to movies. Trini's first appearance in a movie , Frank Sinatra put him in and was Marriage on the Rocks, starring Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. His second movie appearance was in A Poppy is Also a Flower, starring Sean Connery, Marcello Mastriani and a star-studded cast. Following this was the classic The Dirty Dozen starring Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson and another star studded cast. Trini's first starring role was in Antonio with his co-star, the infamous “J.R.," Larry Hagman. Then he became an army G.I. for a TV Movie of the Week called The Reluctant Heroes for Aaron Spelling Productions.

Whatever Trini plans for his future, the fruit of his endeavor will be the same ... fresh, tasty, and timelessly appealing to millions! It has been said that this dynamo "broke the Latin sound-barrier"... and that he did, but you never know what's next for "Mr. La Bamba" I Perhaps, some of this magical life will be revealed in an expected "life story"... or maybe the mystery will just go on forever! But Trini ... he is forever!!!
