9. Acc. to Wikipedia, there is some debate about her birth year.
She may have falsified her age in order to marry bandleader Xavier Cugat. The years usually given are 1941 and/or 1951.

22. I remember seeing her on the Merv Griffin Show in the late 60's/early 70's.
She would have been in her teens or twenties if born in 1951 -- she looked and acted a lot older than that. I totally buy the 1941 birth date.

16. Didn't she study under Segovia?
Or one of his students? I know she has guitar cred, popular image aside.
