It’s always fun and interesting to me when I meet another brother of someone
famous and on this episode we met the brother of actress Eva Mendes. Carlo
Mendez is as handsome as his sister is beautiful. Eva may have retired from acting but Carlo is just starting his acting journey. Carlo talks about his career, growing up in Miami, going to Hollywood and keeping his relative close to the chest. He also opens up about the loss of their older brother Carlos. He proves he’s a great brother by keeping true to Eva & Ryan’s desire for privacy.

Thanks to social media I was able to reconnect with Charlie McCord’s father. I first meet Charlie’s father in the Green Room of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Vanna was a guest and his dad was promoting his hit song “At This Moment”. Charlie is the son of Billy Vera, one the most amazing singers I know, with a career that expands over 60 yrs. Like his father Charlie is a singer and musician, had a band with his brother and also produces for video productions. I really enjoyed learning about Charlie’s music career and what it’s like being the son of a Hollywood musical legend.

This episode’s interview came out of left field for me. I’ve spent the last 50 yrs quoting lines from her father’s films with my friends only to discover she has been a makeup artist of Wheel of Fortune for 20 yrs. Yep Clint Eastwood’s daughter Kimber Eastwood Midkiff has been an actor like her father but prefers being behind the camera producing and doing makeup. She doesn’t live the Hollywood highlife you’d expect of an Eastwood and love to drive the country with her husband and dogs.
