Jorge Alberto Negrete Moreno was born in Guanajuato, Mexico, on November 1911, and had five brothers. His father was a General, and when he retired the family moved to Mexico city, where he worked as a teacher amongst others at the Humboldt German school, thus allowing Jorge and brother David to study there, learning German, English, French and Italian (Jorge also studied native Mexican Language by himself). From there Jorge entered the military academy. At 18 he graduated with high degrees as Lieutenant of Cavalry and Administration and worked in a weapon factory, starting medical studies and becoming administrator at Puebla military Hospital. It was during his youth that he was diagnosed with an hepatic dysfunction (hepatitis C) that did not prevent him from smoking all of his life. In 1930 he started taking singing lessons from opera director José Pierson and in 1931 he started singing on the Mexican radio, adopted the name Alberto Moreno and finally retired from the Army. In 1935 he debuted onstage with musical plays in Roberto Soto's company as a stage extra (figurante), working amongst others in "Calles y más calles" at the Teatro Lírico. Then in 1936 he traveled to New York with a friend performing as The Mexican Caballeros for NBC. He also made a test for the Metropolitan Opera but declined when he was only offered a substitution post, and got under contract instead with Eliseo Grener Cuban orchestra (he is reported to be working as a waiter when the singer became ill and Negrete won the house). The next year he made his first film appearance in the Warner Brothers short "Cuban Nights", then came his first long-length feature in Mexico, the leading role in La madrina del diablo (1937). Fox put him under contract to make Spanish films, but the Actors Union reacted and the idea was abandoned. Later on he would at last make a Hollywood movie, United Artists' Fiesta (1941) a.k.a. "Gaiety" (1941).
During the shooting of his next film, La Valentina (1938) he met actress Elisa Christy. They married in 1940, and moved for some time to New York where Jorge wrote Spanish versions to English songs for Southern Music. Back to Mexico in 1941 he met Gloria Marín on the set of ¡Ay Jalisco... no te rajes! (1941) and separated from Christy, who was pregnant with Negrete's daughter Diana, born the following year. Negrete and Gloria Marín lived together for 10 years and adopted a girl, Goyita. In 1943 he starred in The Rock of Souls (1943) where he met María Félix, equally arrogant as himself so they had frequent quarrels on the set. He had another resounding success with Me he de comer esa tuna (1945). He toured South American countries to overcrowded theaters and also starred in some Spanish films as Jalisco canta en Sevilla (1949) or Teatro Apolo (1950). In 1952 he and María Félix met again shortly after he had left Gloria Marín, pride turned to love and they married that same year.
In Mexico his star quickly rose thanks to his strong screen presence and his manly, arrogant yet good-humored singing and romantic image, dressed in charro typical attire, hence his nickname "El Charro Cantor". Most of his films are known as "ranch comedies" (comedias rancheras) where this folkloric world came alive, often including ancient songs that connected with the audience. He had an onscreen rivalry with Pedro Infante who was a friend in real life. He became one of the main stars of his time, rousing mostly feminine multitudes wherever he went. He also founded the Mexican Movie Workers'Guild and leaded the National Actor's Guild (Asociación Nacional de Actores), which would bring him many troubles as frequently confronted to the official establishment. When Cuba was taken by a hurricane Negrete acted to raise funds for the damaged. In December 1953, when attending a boxing match in Los Angeles he suffered an acute gastroesophagical hemorrhage, from which he never regained consciousness.
As a singer Negrete had a fine, wide-ranged and well trained baritone voice that often resembled a tenor's one. His classical singing education made him equally apt to sing popular songs, zarzuela and operatic arias.- Oscar Lusth was born on 23 August 1981 in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. He is an actor, known for The Lights (2009).

Flor Silvestre, one of Mexico's greatest recording artists, was also a major star of classic Mexican movies from the 1950s and 1960s. She was born Guillermina Jiménez Chabolla in 1930 in Salamanca, a city in the State of Guanajuato. She inherited her talent from her parents, Jesús Jiménez Cervantes and María de Jesús Chabolla Peña, who were fond of singing mariachi music. Her mother wanted to live in Mexico City, so her father sold everything they owned in Salamanca and moved the family to the nation's capital. She made her debut at the age of 13 singing at the Teatro del Pueblo, a venue located in central Mexico City. Her first radio performances were broadcast by XEFO, Mexico's national radio station. Journalist and announcer Arturo Blancas suggested she change her stage name from La Soldadera (the title of one of her first songs and a play she was in) to Flor Silvestre (the title of a 1943 Dolores Del Río movie). She then won a singing contest sponsored by XEW, Mexico's most famous radio station, and sang in revues at Teatro Colonial. While performing at the Colonial, a showman offered her a contract to tour with his company. The company toured northern Mexico and later Central and South America. In 1950, she returned to Mexico City, where the showman gave her a contract to perform at Mexico's finest nightclub, El Patio. In short time, after producer Gregorio Walerstein invited her to become an actress, she made her film debut in Primero soy mexicano (1950), co-starring Joaquín Pardavé (who also wrote and directed the film) and Luis Aguilar. She also signed her first recording contract with Columbia Records. Her first hits include "Imposible olvidarte", "Pobre corazón", "Que Dios te perdone", and "Guadalajara". Following the success of the aforementioned film, she became one of the new, promising starlets of the '50s cinema of Mexico. Her most notable films from the 1950s are Raquel's Shoeshiner (1957), with Cantinflas; Pueblo en armas (1959), with Armando Silvestre; and The Soldiers of Pancho Villa (1959), with María Félix. In 1959, she married her recurring co-star Antonio Aguilar. Her most prominent performance is, arguably, featured in Ismael Rodríguez's The Important Man (1961), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In the 1960s and 1970s, she became a cinematic symbol of the Mexican Revolution, due to her portrayals of soldaderas in films such as ¡Viva la soldadera! (1960), Lauro Puñales (1969), and Benjamín Argumedo el rebelde (1979). Her last film appearance was in Triste recuerdo (1991).

Newman's parents had lived there for 7 years before she was born, and just a few short years after her birth they moved to Texas. Cehlia attended and received a degree from The University of The Incarnate Word, where she majored in Child Psychology and Minored in Theater and Fine Art.
Cehlia Newman began acting in 1974 as a young child in stage productions at the San Antonio Little Theater. She continued to act in theater productions off and on throughout her youth. Newman appeared in several episodes of "Dallas" as well as numerous television and print advertisements. She did a MFTV and some appearances on series.
Her first feature film role was a in the cult classic "Legend of Billie Jean". She met with the producer and director and it was decided that even though she wasn't right for the role for which she auditioned (she would have had to cut her hair into "Billie Jean's" style) they would write one in for her.
Newman went on to work periodically in several theater productions, honing her skills and exploring her option in the film world. In 1988 Cehlia was cast as "Paco's girlfriend; Maria" in "Lost Angels" with Donald Sutherland, Adam Horowitz and Amy Locane. Newman was convinced by her new agent, David Shapira, to move to LA and "seriously" pursue the acting gig. Newman moved to LA 1990 at that time she also acquired manager Mike Atkissson.
After hundreds upon hundreds of auditions for film and television, Newman realized she was only being cast as the "ethnic" character, i.e. biker's girlfriend, victim, gang member, etc... Cehlia had several casting directors suggest she change her name from the "Mexican" sounding Cehlia to something more "American". She was also encouraged to dye her hair, a more "90s" acceptable blond color.
Completely disgusted with the industry's lack of foresight, Cehlia began concentrating on her artwork. As the child of two professional artists, she was ultimately forced to accept her "genetic" path and pursue a more fulfilling career in Fine Art.
In early '91 Newman returned to Texas and worked as a computer program designer for several years before entering UIW and completing her degree.
Cehlia Newman is currently living in Texas with her husband(Jose Menendez)and son and daughter. She serves on several community boards, maintains a passionate interest in public policy and continues to support her husband's political career.
Cehlia owns an on-line jewelry company and designs one-of-a-kind jewelry. Newman is still creating and displaying her artwork, with private and public shows in San Antonio and Austin. - Actor
