Cesar Romero Facts
Was the first actor to play the Joker in a live action adaptation of the Batman character.

He believed that to live well you must dress well. And never in the same outfit. His closets held 30 tuxedos, 200 sports jackets, and 500 suits.

Refused to shave off his mustache when he played the role of The Joker in "Batman" (1966). Close observation shows how the white clown make-up was applied right over his much loved mustache.
