* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: Would probably apply for all the cast, but specially Elvira/China Zorrilla. While Elvira de Musicardi holds a candle as one of the meanest characters in the film, in her long career as an actress, every cast partner and crewmember remembers China Zorrilla as one of the warmest people they ever met. There are testimonies of teenagers that wrote fan mail to Zorrilla, and received very kind responses and tickets to see her on stage. In some cases, she even called them to meet her backstage and gave them advice on how and where to study acting techniques.
