At 64, youve got your first starring role.
I dont get scared.
I wanted to focus on the music because I have been singing since Ive talked.
I knew that one day I would want to act.
This was a big deal when Andy texted me that he had a script to send me.
Wed been friends for over 30 years so doing this with him felt really natural.
I felt protected and comfortable.
Even the on-screen kiss?
If I was going to kiss anyone, at least it was Andy.
Of course, I was nervous.
I haven’t kissed anyone but my husband [and music partner Emilio Estefan] in 47 years.
I didnt want to be thinking of him on the set.
Each of the other versions reflects the time that they were created.
At the end of the night, he would just jump on stage and get behind our percussion.
We would say, Who is that guy?
My cocker spaniel ate the sleeve of my wedding dress because I had gotten cake on it.
I sent it back to the wonderful woman who made my dress and she fixed it.
I actually saw it the other day.
I was looking for something in the warehouse and I opened the box and it was my wedding dress.
I always cry at some point during the show, in different places, weird places.
I love to see grown men cry and they did.
And they tell me the movie [Father of the Bride] also has made people cry.
I love to make people cry in a good way, not sadistically.
That means youre moving them.
