Trivia and Quotes

Trivia
  • Although a huge star in Brazil, she actually wasn`t from there. Her parents were Portuguese and she was born there, and although she became a naturalized Brazilian citizen, she also kept her Portuguese citizenship, never gave up her Portuguese passport and privately considered herself Portuguese rather than Brazilian.
  • Carmen Miranda was a young hatmaker
  • Carmen Miranda, or rather her ghost, is the subject of a song by Leslie Fish called "Carmen Miranda`s ghost is haunting Space Station Three". There is also a book by that name, containing a collection of short stories. The only connection between the stories is that each have to do with the title.
  • Her contract with 20th Century Fox specified that there would be no cutting away from her to reaction shots and/or dialog from other players while her musical numbers were in progress.
  • In the 40s she was the highest paid star/ performer in the USA.
  • She appeared in the 1939 Broadway revue, "Streets of Paris", in which she introduced the song "South American Way".
  • She was the subject of a Jimmy Buffett song called, "They Don`t Dance Like Carmen No More"
  • The "Lady with the Tutti-Frutti Hat" in Hollywood musicals of the 1940s. See her at her sparkling best as the cheeky "Rosita Murphy" in the gorgeous Technicolor Springtime in the Rockies (1942), in which, without the slightest effort, she virtually steals every scene she`s in - upstaging even the film`s [nominal] star, Betty Grable!
  • The intersection of Hollywood Bl. and Orange Drive, was named Carmen Miranda Square. [September 1998]
