"Fidel Castro is a genius!" gushed Jack Nicholson after a visit with the Cuban Führer in 1998. "We spoke about everything. Castro is a humanist like President Clinton. Cuba is simply a paradise!" the actor rhapsodized further.
"Socialism works. I think Cuba might prove that" (Chevy Chase).
"Castro is very selfless and moral, one of the world's wisest men" (Oliver Stone).
"If you believe in freedom, if you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy, you have no choice but to support Fidel Castro!" (Harry Belafonte).
"It was an experience of a lifetime to sit only a few feet away from him (Castro)" (Kevin Costner.)
"My heart beat faster!–This is one of the most important moments in my life!"(a hyperventilating Danny Glover while visiting The Che Guevara memorial in Santa Clara Cuba during one of his frequent trips to Stalinist, terror-sponsoring Cuba.
"I'm very happy to be here. My presence here is also a result of human relations. With regards to politics I'm very naive. But I've never understood how we can ignore each other living so close to each other. The most important thing is for us to maintain our identity and respect each other." (Robert De Niro at Havana Film Festival, 1985.)
"The eight most important hours of my life," (Steven Spielberg describing his dinner with Fidel Castro.)
Upon my publicizing of Spielberg's quote (in Fidel; Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant) the Hollywood agent (now deceased) who arranged Spielberg's trip to Castro's fiefdom promptly notified me that Spielberg had uttered nothing of the sort. And that therefore I should retract that statement from my writings.
Castro's own media, explained the late Mr. Stephen Rivers (formerly with Creative Artists Agency), had concocted the Spielberg quote from thin air. So there was absolutely no truth to it.
"Well, what you're telling me actually makes my point better than the quote genuinely issuing from Spielberg," I replied to the high-rolling Stephen Rivers, who also represented Michael Ovitz. My writings document that Fidel Castro is a master propagandist and that his KGB/STASI- trained secret services specialize in obtaining many such statements from many such luminaries, voluntarily or often as a result of various form of persuasion (i.e. Blackmail.)
