An amazing woman
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jesse-kornbluth/gloria-estefan-like-com_b_63337.html
Her story reads like the plot of an old Hollywood musical.
Her father, José Fajardo, was the bodyguard to the wife of Cuban president Batista -- but when Gloria was just 16 months old, Castro's revolution forced the family to flee its homeland. José joined the United States Army and served as an officer in Vietnam, where he was exposed to Agent Orange. When he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, ten-year-old Gloria became his nurse and looked after her younger sister while her mother worked.
