He charmed his way into Hollywood's inner circle as "the Latin from Manhattan," but his fellow contract players at 20th Century Fox knew him as Butch, an ironic nickname poking fun at the reality that Cesar Romero would never play the boy next door. Of Cuban and Italian descent, Romero proved himself a dependable actor, as Marlene Dietrich's Spanish lover in "The Devil is a Woman" (1935), an East Indian rebel chief in "Wee Willie Winkie" (1937) with Shirley Temple, and Mexican pistolero The Cisco Kid in a string of Westerns.

“I’ve had a long career in this town. Hasn’t been the greatest but it’s been good and it’s been steady. And I owe a lot to this business.” – Cesar Romero circa 1986
Imagine Hollywood in the late 1930s. A young starlet has been invited to a glamorous party but she has no one to go with. A tall, debonaire Latin man, a fellow actor, comes to her rescue. This man is Cesar Romero. He's the perfect escort and the ladies of Hollywood know it. Romero is well-dressed, good looking, has excellent manners and lifelong talent for dancing. He's an expert schmoozer and knows how to work the crowd. He is dependable and desirable, composed but still fun to be around. Romero loves parties and they loved him right back.

Romero was the escort for many actresses including Joan Crawford (they were lifelong friends and possibly more), Carole Lombard, Barbara Stanwyck, Loretta Young, Virginia Bruce, Marlene Dietrich, Agnes Moorehead and more.
Affectionately referred to as the Latin from Manhattan or Butch (a silly nickname given to him by George Murphy), Cesar Romero had a long career on the big and small screens. And wouldn't you know, it all started because he was really good at working parties.
