There are a few rumors of a movie coming out about his life. As for his contribution to the Dominican image. I think it's null. I don't think people view him as a Dominican guy. So it's not looked at in that context. When it is looked at in that context usually by Dominicans, its negative because he was a Trujillo cronie. |

La película se rodará el próximo año y va a ser coproducida por Banderas a través de su productora Green Moon y Sierralta Entertainment Group. La película llevará por título 'El Primer Playboy' la dirigirá el mexicano Luis Mandoki. "Te digo que me siento hijo de Porfirio", admite entre risas Miguel Sierralta, socio del actor malagueño en esta aventura. "Vengo trabajando en este proyecto desde hace cinco años. Hace un año y medio empecé a perseguir a Antonio." Entusiasmado con el proyecto Banderas se entusiasmó con el proyecto. Curiosamente cuando aterrizó en Hollywood uno de los primeros papales que le ofrecieron fue el de Porfirio. Esa película nunca se concretó pero el actor malagueño cayó bajo el embrujo del legendario playboy dominicano. Porfirio Rubirosa Porfirio Rubirosa Y no fue el único. La 'desesperada' Eva Longoria se fascinó con el papel de Flor de Oro Trujillo, la primera esposa de Rubirosa e hija del dictador dominicano Rafael Trujillo. Longoria está en conversaciones para interpretar ese personaje y posiblemente también se unirá como productora. Porfirio Rubirosa trabajó como diplomático y fue jugador de polo, piloto de Formula 1, amigo de famosos como John F. Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, el Aga Khan... Pero sobre todo es conocido por haber sido el primer playboy de la jet set internacional, por el tamaño de su miembro viril grande (casi 30 cm) y sus conocimientos como amante. Rubirosa nació en San Francisco de Macoris en Republica Dominicana en una familia de clase media. Hijo de una española y un general dominicano, Rubi, como le decían cariñosamente, se crió en Francia. A los 16 años perdió su virginidad en un popular prostíbulo en el barrio de Montmartre. "Cuando él fue a pagar, la prostituta le dijo que no le pagara pero que prometiera que iba a volver a verla", cuenta Sierralta. Se casó con la hija de Trujillo Regreso a su país natal a los 17 años y allí comenzó la leyenda. Rubirosa conoce a Flor de Oro Trujillo, quien se convierte en su primera esposa aunque su padre, el General Rafael Trujillo, se oponía. De acuerdo a Sierralta, Trujillo utilizó a Rubirosa para conectarlo al mundo del jet set y sus amigos importantes e influyentes. Al comprobar que Rubi le fue infiel a su hija, Trujillo les obligó a divorciarse y Rubirosa tuvo que buscarse la vida. Lo hace en parte vendiendo visas dominicanas a judíos tratando de escapar de Europa. Vivió apasionados romances con las mujeres más bellas, famosas y ricas del mundo: Dolores del Rio, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak, Eva Perón y Veronica Lake. Se casó con la actriz francesa Danielle Darriuex (1942), Doris Duke (1947), Barbara Hutton (1953—sólo duro 53 dias- y a los 47 años se caso con la actriz Odile Rodin que solo tenía 19 años. Se dice que Rubirosa repitió romance con Flor de Oro años después de su fallido matrimonio cuando estaba casado con Doris Duke, en ese momento la mujer más rica del mundo. También mantuvo una relación con Zsa Zsa Gabor mientras estaba casado con Barbara Hutton, la segunda mujer más rica del mundo. Rico gracias a sus matrimonios Estos matrimonios engrandecieron su patrimonio. Duke le dejó una casa en Paris, un establo de caballos de polo, varios coches deportivos, un avión y 350,135 mil euros en el acuerdo de divorcio. Hutton le dejo casi 2,5 milliones de euros, un cafetal en Republica Dominicana y otro avión. Grandes escritores como Mario Vargas Llosa y Truman Capote se quedaron fascinados con él. Se dice que Ian Flemming basó el personaje de James Bond en Rubirosa. Su leyenda se ha utilizado hasta en la publicidad. El personaje llamado 'El Hombre Más Interesante del Mundo' que sale en anuncios para la cerveza Dos Equis está basado en su imagen. "No era el más guapo ni el más alto pero tenía algo", asegura Sierralta. "Entraba a un lugar y cambiaba las emociones de la gente. La energía que emanaba era increíble". Frank Sinatra le mandaba su avión privado para que asistiera a sus fiestas. Sammy Davis, Jr se quedo asombrado en como Rubi podía lucir siempre tan perfecto, bien vestido y descansado y le preguntó como lo hacía. Rubirosa lo miró, se sonrió al contestar "Amigo, ésta es mi profesión". El playboy murió el 5 de junio de 1965 al chocar su Ferrari contra unos árboles en el parque Bosques de Bologne en Paris, después de haber celebrado a lo largo de la noche su victoria en el campeonato de polo Coupe de France. "Se dice que él iba a dejar a su última esposa para juntarse con Pat Kennedy", cuenta Sierralta. "Era muy amigo de su hermano John y existe un rumor que el FBI manipuló el coche con el que se estrelló". "Queremos mantener esta película como una producción independiente para poder mantener el control artístico y para serle fiel a la historia de Porfirio,’ asegura Sierralta. La película se rodará en Praga, Argentina, España (Sotogrande) y Santo Domingo. Entre las actrices que se están considerando para interpretar a las otras esposas y amantes del legendario playboy están, Sharon Stone, Melanie Griffith, Juliette Binoche y Charlize Theron.

That would be a great movie, but I don't know about Antonio Banderas as Porfirio, he is too much of a lightweight to be believable. Porfirio exuded charm and lot's of charisma, power and sex, had something magic about him, and was a man of few words. "United by purpose, bound by honor", La Hermandad. |

I hope they don't make the same mistake they did in the "butterflies" movie with Edward Olmos, he was a terrible Mexicanized Trujillo. Edited on 9/5/2009 6:21 PM by generoso.
