At 84 years young, Bernie Brandall has lived nearly every day of his life to the fullest. The big picture is me when I was 18 years old and I was a profesional Flamenco dancer, he said. That’s how I start my career as a dancer.
Brandall came to the U.S. from Cuba with his family in the late 1940s but would set out on his own as a teenager, embarking on what would become a 60-year career as a dancer and entertainer.
He traveled around the world, first as part of a dance troupe and later adding a female impersonation routine and magic to his “act”.
