welcome

Welcome to Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit Here is some advice to make your trip a little easier and more enjoyable. TIME ZONE: The entire state of Jalisco is on Central Time, as is the southern part of the State of Nayarit starting from Guayabitos to the Ameca River and including Nuevo Vallarta. BUSES: A system of urban buses can bring you from one end of the bay to the other and all the spots in between. Current fare within Puerto Vallarta is $7.50 pesos per ticket and passengers must purchase a new ticket every time they board a bus. Hold on to your ticket. This is your proof and insurance should anything happen. Bus destinations are typically written on the front of the window. Those with a ‘centro’ sign will drive through downtown Puerto Vallarta and those with a ‘tunel’ sign will drive through the tunnel roads that go behind the city. TAXIS: There are set rates within defined zones of town. Do not enter a taxi without agreeing on the price with the driver first. Price is per trip not person unless there are more than four passengers. Take note of the taxi number on the outside door and where it picked you up. If you lose an item this information will be vital to attempting to get it back. MONEY EXCHANGE: To exchange money you will need your passport. Best option is to use your bankcard to withdraw funds from any ATM machine. ATM’s in the banks are the safest to use and generally charge lower fees. USING PESOS OR USD: Businesses must display their prices in pesos and they may also post the prices in any other currency they choose. They cannot refuse to accept pesos. Some service staff may appreciate being tipped in USD and others in pesos. If you are concerned, ask. TIPPING: How much and when you tip are personal choices and unless otherwise noted a 10-20%

tip on food and beverage and services is standard. Tip the kids and seniors who bag your groceries. They work exclusively for tips. Have change at the ready for musicians and clowns that ride the buses – typically tipping 5 pesos or less. Taxi drivers do not receive tips unless they go to extraordinary lengths. DRINKING WATER: Puerto Vallarta’s water (at the source) is certified pure enough to drink. For many who live here long term, we drink from our taps with no issues. For those on vacation, it may be better to stick to bottled water. EXPORTING PETS: Falling in love with a rescue animal is easy – and it’s easy to take them home with you. The process is quick and inexpensive. You need a certificate of health from a local vet with the appropriate inoculations, among other things. The time of year that pets can travel in the cargo hold of the plane may be your biggest challenge. Contact your airline to double-check their requirements. COMMON SENSE: Just as you would not walk around your hometown drunk and belligerent, it is not acceptable to do that here. While Mexicans are a forgiving bunch, basic politeness is appreciated. Pay attention to your surroundings. Pay your bills. Be courteous. And have fun! DRINKING AND DRIVING: First off – just don’t. The consequences are not worth it. Taxis are cheap and plentiful. Fines are as much as 15,000 pesos. You can be taken to jail and your vehicle impounded. There are many checkstops on the weekends and you will be asked to blow if they suspect you have been drinking. LEGAL SYSTEM: Not knowing the law is not a valid excuse in Mexico or anywhere. If you find yourself caught in a legal situation be aware that the system works much differently here than you are likely used to. Immediately contact your consulate for assistance.

Calling in Mexico Calling phones in Mexico can be tricky. There are different codes you need to use depending if you are calling landlines or cellular phones and if they are local or long distance. LONG-DISTANCE CALLS FROM WITHIN MEXICO For national long-distance calls (within Mexico) the code is 01 plus the area code and phone number. For international long-distance calls, first dial 00, then the country code (U.S. and Canada country code is 1), so you would dial 00 + 1 + area code + 7 digit number. CALLING CELL PHONES (FROM A LAND LINE) If you are calling from a landline within the area code of the Mexican cell phone number dial 044, the 10 digit number. Outside of the area code (but still within Mexico) dial 045 and then the 10 digit phone number. Cell phone to cell phone only requires the 10 digit number. PHONE CARDS Phone cards (tarjetas telefonicas) for use in pay phones can be bought at newsstands and in pharmacies. Pay phones do not accept coins. When buying a phone card for pay phone use, specify that you would like a tarjeta LADA. CALLING TOLL-FREE NUMBERS Some toll free numbers work from Mexico to the US and Canada, but many do not. Those that do work are often not toll-free. You need to dial a different prefix. To call the following toll free prefixes, dial as follows: 800 numbers Dial 001-880-then the number 866 numbers Dial 001-883-then the number 877 numbers Dial 001-882-then the number 888 numbers Dial 001-881-then the number

Taking a breather

re you all partied out? Last week was a doozy! Mexico loves to celebrate, and celebrate they did! With Independence Day events over, the next big celebration will be Halloween, Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos which takes place at the end of October first week in Nivember. I hope you’ve started to plan your costumes as I understand Art Vallarta is planning another one of their off the hook parties. In the meantime, now is a good opportunity to kick back and relax (or take care of all those pesky tasks you’ve been putting off since last October). I have seen some great deals around town for discounted tours, and day passes – even a couple tempting stay-cations. The Vallarta Tribune is planning a big announcement in the coming weeks, so I haven’t been doing much relaxing as I prepare for all the new features and programs we will be offering our readers and advertisers. Stay tuned. It’s exciting stuff! If you’re here on vacation this time of year is great for turtle rescue camps. Depending on where you are located there are different camps along the coast that offer near daily releases which you can take part in. Usually for a small

donation you can assist in releasing the newly hatched turtles into the ocean. Conservation efforts over the past few years have had a big impact on the success rates of the returning turtle. Plus baby turtles are ridiculously cute! If you are staying in a hotel, ask your concierge for information on turtle releases. If not you can visit these facebook pages to learn more. In Puer to Vallar ta: facebook. com/CampamentoTor tugueroBocaDeTomates In Sayulita: www.facebook.com/ campamentotortuguero.sayulita In San Pancho: www.facebook. com/sanpanchoturtles In Mayto: www.facebook.com/ campamentomayto Here are some interesting facts and tips about sea turtles in Puerto Vallarta. Facts you should know to be a responsible tourist 1. During the summer, Puerto Vallarta receives thousands of sea turtles that come to spawn at its shores after their long journey across thousands of kilometers along the Pacific Ocean. 2. The Olive Ridley sea turtle finds a safe haven to lay its eggs in 30 kilometers of seacoast in Mexico. 3. From the first moment baby turtles hatch, they imprint on their natal beach and will return to it. 4. The main species in Puerto Vallarta is the Olive Ridley sea turtle. 5. Olive Ridley sea turtles can grow between 60 and 70 centimeters long and weigh between 40 and 100 kilos. 6. Their carapaces have the shape of a heart.

7. To spawn, turtles dig nests of 40 centimeters deep and cover them with sand with the help of their flippers. 8. The arrival period can last up to one month and a half. 9. The greatest concentration of sea turtle population occurs at Playa de Oro and Playa de los Muertos, which is the equivalent to 30 kilometers of coastline designated for the supervision and protection of sea turtles. 10. After they lay their eggs, the eggs are transported to nurseries, such as the beach of Hotel Secrets, which has the capacity to support 100 nests, and the beach of Hotel Holy, which receives up to 900 nests. 11. Once eggs are relocated to protected nests, 45 days are needed for the eggs to begin hatching. 12. Instinctively, baby turtles will make their way towards the ocean, where they begin the challenge to survive. 13. Few turtles manage to reach adulthood. 1 out of 1000 is estimated to survive. 14. It’s important not to interact with the turtles when they are spawning since this could prompt them to return to the sea, disoriented, and without completing their natural process. 15. Local officials recommend keeping a minimum distance of 10 meters while obser ving the spawning. 16. At night, it’s strictly forbidden to use lamps or cellphone lights. 17. It’s recommended to wear dark clothing to avoid disturbing the turtles.

New E-Book Highlights Living in Mexico A new free e-book aimed at those who are considering moving to Mexico was released today. Written by Vallarta Tribune columnist Chuck Bolotin and based on his yearlong travels through Mexico, the book highlights adventures, challenges triumphs and lessons learned. The book provides the firsthand accounts of Chuck Bolotin and his wife Jet Metier after they sold most of their possessions and packed the rest, along with two dogs, into a big white van, leaving their comfortable house in Arizona, to travel through Mexico. Jonathan Look, founder of the popular website Life Part 2, who in 2011 sold everything he owned, took early retirement and began traveling the world, said, “Chuck Bolotin has a unique way of combining interesting information, funny stories and practical tips for traveling in a light and readable way. His collection of stories on the joys and travails of traveling in Mexico reflects not on his expertise (because he intentionally had very little before starting his travels), but rather on the proper attitude for thriving while exploring our marvelous neighbor to the south. This is a great book for people new to international travel and life in any country, just like its author was new to it when the book starts. “ Alfonso Galindo, US expat living and doing business in Mexico, serial entrepreneur and now CEO of North America Trust Bank, said simply, “With its depictions of entertaining people, firsthand stories and useful information, If you’re considering traveling or living in Mexico, this book is a ‘must read.’” Download the eBook at bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com/ download-free-ebooks

o…did you miss me? Since our last one-sided conversation, my routine has run amok. No theatre, no great flicks, no awesome drinks in fancy bars and trendy restos, no plays, no live entertainment and not a single stimulating conversation with even one charming Vallarta expat. I went into hospital instead. Emergency surgery, slashed like a freaking rainbow trout stem to stern and then home, recovering, writing this column when my computer crashed and burned seconds before hitting send. (Here we go again from a conveniently located cyber around the corner from my house.) I was at IMSS Hospital for eight days; cannot say enough good things about the care and the food – when they finally decided to feed me – was better than good – varied, tasty, some salad parts even pretty! Dearest friend Sandra Cesca, first visitor in hospital, first visitor at home, brought me flowers she couldn’t bring in, dammit! Second up was Ricardo Mazcal, friend, colleague, herbal genius and long stemmed white rose smuggler. Madeline Milne, my editor, woke me from morphine induced bliss, whispering in my ear, “The nurses tell me some patients pretend to be sleeping.” Teach me to miss a bloody deadline! Jim Lee came in dressed in coordinate colors with a gayly flowered bag out of which sprang an orange stuffed tiger. My last visitor I texted (no cell phones in hospital… please) because I wasn’t certain I might not need his help: Michael Lindner from Vallarta Hospice. No, not planning on dying just yet but while I was in Recovery, I had some interesting what-if’s cross my not-general-anesthetic-soaked brain (that’s another story). I know Vallarta Hospice has a whole range of services available, with hospice care for now, at least, making up only 5% of their business. He graciously came and listened while

I bombarded him with living-single/mature/foreign/non-fluent in Spanish/I’ve fallen and I can’t get up scenarios until visiting hours were over. Long and short of it people – put Vallarta Hospice on your speed dial now: 322 220 7657. Worst thing about being in hospital (besides real air) was missing some very important events I had had in my calendar for some time including brilliant photographer Mike Laking’s Celebration of Life for his husband Paul; Sean Carey’s 50th birthday celebration put together by HIS amazing husband Jim Lee; and El Grito, my favourite Mexican celebration. I have not missed many in 26 years. Coming up this week, events you must attend – I will see you everywhere MAYBE. Miracle time! Thursday, the 21 st at 7 pm, the reawakening/rejuvenation/ revamping/restoring of Casa Karma. Five types of gourmet pizza, five different wines and fabulous salad. All you can eat heaven for $300 pesos. Some proceeds from

the art exhibit will find their way to Los Volcanes, quite possibly the most remarkable Colonia in Vallarta. On Friday, the 22nd, the venerable Jim Lee can put another notch in his Gucci belt. The birthday boy promises a Magical Mystery Tour at Casa Karma complete with tarot card readings and many performers coming to play at the lavish Boutique Hotel that is Casa Karma. Saturday, the 23rd, at Incanto, go experience PetchaKucha Volume II. It starts at 8:20, hosted by Vallarta PK Director Paco Ojeda. This revolutionary way to sell, virtually anything, will perk up your summer blahs. Trust me, after attending Volume One, you will leave the theatre (eventually), stop talking about what the hell you just saw and walk home with a spring in your step. Trust me! Lastly and to kick off a week of vacations, Incanto is throwing an “End of Summer Party/ Fundraiser for Chistobal”, ex sound tech at Incanto. You all deserve at least a week off. What a spectacular first season Incanto has had. To Tracy Parks, Bev, Gilberto, Eric, Aunt Pearl,Salvatore, Santiago, Kateri, Renzo, your great entertainers, wait staff, bartenders, here’s to more sell-out crowds coming up. Take a bow, all of you. For keeping the home fires burning, my thanks go to my indestructible roommate Hank, my darling David and for whom all bells toll: Rayne, Dulce and Miri. I am going to bed…From Here.

The Myth, the Legend, the Tax Treaty Orlando Gotay, Tax Attorney tax@orlandogotay.com

Orlando Gotay is a California licensed tax tion) admitted to practice before the IRS, cies. His love of things Mexican has led tax matters of U.S. expats in Mexico. He c online radio at mixlr.com/orlandogotay or

hear it all the time in conversations, and in social media: people making reference to the famous? infamous? US-Mexico tax treaty. Soon into those conversations, I often see that there are many misconceptions about what it is, what it does and how it could affect you. A tax treaty is an agreement between countries, deciding what is subject to tax under the jurisdiction of each. The idea is to reduce the likelihood of double taxation, although a far from perfect goal. In practice, the overlap in tax systems is such that you could be subject to tax by both countries on the same income. The US taxes people on citizenship, no matter where they live, Mexico on residency. It is easy to see how some people, absent the treaty, could have very poor tax results. For the most part, US persons anywhere will not be able to claim any US tax benefits from the treaty. It is important to understand that a US person’s American tax bill may not be reduced on account of anything the treaty says, independent of whether you are a Mexico resident or not. It may, however, affect one’s Mexico tax bill. It is also important to understand that the treaty does not override one’s state tax obligations. In fact,

Then, you say, what benefit is there for me?? If you are an American who is also a resident of Mexico (and I mean residents in the fiscal sense of the word, subject to Mexican income tax) the treaty may become relevant. In the case of social security, for example, it provides that benefits shall be taxable only in the state that makes the payment. This would mean that US Social Security is taxed only by the US, not Mexico, and I add, only to the extent US tax laws do in fact tax it (some pay tax on part, some do not). The treaty also provides special instructions for the tax treatment of pensions, alimony, child support, capital gains, interest, dividends and many others. The language is tedious, but important. Another important benefit may be withholding of taxes at a reduced rate on cross border payments. For example, US withholding on pensions and annuities (not Soc. Sec). can be at 0% (versus the “regular” 30%) but it has to be claimed. As you can see, there can be important tax treaty benefits, but not for all, and in any event, have to be claimed!

Surprise!

his past weekend my husband and I decided to surprise our kids with a little Independence Day getaway. We didn’t make this decision lightly. Something you should know about our family is that The Boy doesn’t like surprises. At all. Ever. Even good ones. We have known this about him since he was little and we’d just decide to jump in the car and get some ice cream. He generally took the joyous news the same way every time. He would walk to the car, kicking rocks all the way, declaring his true hatred for the evil sugary treat of ice cream, which he actually loved. Once we arrived at the ice cream shop with Mr. Grumpypants, we’d get out and order a double cone of his favorite flavor. Suddenly everything was sunshine, roses and chocolate syrup. The Boy doesn’t like a lot of abrupt change, in other words, and needs a bit of time to process all things, even happy things. I’ve never minded this that much, except when I am really craving a delicious frozen banana at Lix and I have to convince that kid to come along. On the flip side, his younger sister loves spontaneity and going with the flow. At the mere mention of ice cream, she’d be out the door and ready to fly, as long as they had chocolate. Her sense of fun and adventure is keen, and loves even the slightest diversion from routine: a last minute play date, a late movie at the theatre, a shower in the rain. It’s not easy to have children who are so different. Sometimes it’s a bit of a chore because adventure isn’t always as fun when you are with someone who needs twenty four hour’s notice for every change in schedule. But that’s the child who helps you appreciate the joy of being home and part of a cozy family routine. Sometimes your adventurous child and their constant “What

pamela@healthcareresourcespv.com

are we doing today?” can be a bit wearing. But that’s the child who gets you out of your comfort zone. She pushes you to get hitched to the next zipline because she just whizzed by you, hanging upside down and screaming with laughter. So Gil and decided to risk it and go with surprise this time. We saw a great deal on an overnighter at the Fiesta Inn at La Islas. It’s a pretty simple hotel, but it’s got a pool and A/C. To residents of Vallarta in September, that’s all you need to have a good time. In hindsight, I am both pleased with how well the surprise worked and impressed with how much our kids (used to) trust us. Of course, now they probably will view most of what we say with a bit of understandable cynicism. But it amazed me, the ease of which we convinced them that we needed to go and see a friend in the hotel. And then I was further amazed when we got to the hotel and the staff asked if we had a reservation AND I SAID YES, that they still didn’t catch on. They just asked me why I was lying to the desk clerk. Poor lambs. When we opened the door with the key, we told the children to yell surprise at this fictional friend. They must have wondered what kind of monsters they had for parents at this point, forcing them to scare the salsa out of a person they’ve never even met. But then Gil ran in and started jumping on the bed. He yelled SURPRISE KIDS! IT’S OUR ROOM! The reaction was exactly what I expected after years of ice cream surprises and bubble baths in the rain: The Girly joined her daddy and started doing somersaults on the duvet, shrieking merrily. The Boy turned around and walked out the door. But the great thing is, he came back in about one minute later with a grin on his face. He flopped down on the bed and grabbed the remote for the big screen plasma TV that would be ours for almost twenty-four hours. Hey, whatever it takes, man.

Pink Wave!

ctober is one of our biggest months as we promote Breast Cancer Awareness! Our huge October newsletter (which will include all of our monthly clinics, speakers programs and events) will have everything in great detail but I wanted to put out a heads up right here and now! We do this in order to promote awareness, to support breast cancer patients currently in treatment, to honor and applaud breast cancer survivors and to remember loved ones. On October 6, 2017 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm we will have our annual Pink Wave Cocktail to kick off this very important month! This is always a true community event, involving both the English speaking community and our local Mexican community. Nearly all of the food (and it is delicious!), raffles and decorations are donated. This is held in the lobby of Hospital San Javier Marina. On October 16, 2017 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm we will have a Pink Ice Cream Social at Vallarta Medical Center. And who doesn’t like ice cream with plenty of pink toppings? Then, to wrap up the month, on October 22, 2017 from 9am until 11:30 am we will have a buffet brunch at Diagnostic Integral Vallarta where the community we be able see and learn about the new state of the art Digital Mammogram with Tomosynthesis (3D) low-radiation machine. Dra. Claudia de Moral, our radiologist and breast specialist will be there to explain and demonstrate this stellar

piece of equipment. Remember that early detection is the key! Also it is important to remember that men can also have breast cancer. Though it is rare, it does happen! Believe me when I say this is only the Readers Digest version of activities due to limited space here! If you are not on our email list and would like to be, just send an email to: pamela@healthcareresourcespv.com. It is that easy! We are still in need of some pink goodies and raffle prizes for some of the events so if you are able, that would be so very much appreciated. As well as “going pink” in October, we will also have our screening clinics: Ear Clinic, Vascular Clinic, Skin Clinic, Foot Clinic, Bone Density Clinic, Men’s Urology Clinic, Incontinence Clinic, Women’s Clinic, Cardiac Clinic, Thyroid clinic and of course our Mammogram Clinics. Our speakers programs will be “Breakfast with a Psychiatrist”, “Mixing Meds”, “Everything You Need to About Insurance” and “Breakfast with an Anesthesiologist/Pain Control Specialist.” October 18, 2017 we will once again have our “End of Life Decisions in Banderas Bay” panel. Once again, for details on any of these events or clinics, please send me an email/sign up for our newsletters. A huge thank you to all of the messages and emails asking how I am doing after my surgery! I am feeling super! I am now ready (I guess!) to face the “high season” head on. Animo! Here’s to a purposeful week!

The Cupola: Cup of What?

orry, I said Cupola”, is my most frequent response. Although this architectural addition is common in many of the worlds largest churches and our public buildings in North America, it is not something many Canadians or Americans understand when looking at property here in the Vallarta region. These circular additions to an existing roofline have a variety of purposes but are used in many cases to allow the warm air of our tropical climate to move more freely and keep the air inside our homes, muy fresca. However, the real history of these goes back to the Greeks who used them to both allow homes to breath more easily as well as installing a lookout to watch for less than welcome visitors. Over the centuries this upside down cup design took on new significance as they became highly decorative and symbolic of the homeowners wealth. Here in Vallarta and surrounding areas, you can see many examples of cupolas on our local churches, but some of the most interesting of these are found on top of small hotels or large private homes.

If you stop into Casa Karma, pause for a minute before you head to the oceanfront bar and look at the intricate tile work on the cupola there. Local artists are often hired to update the designs with intricate tile work, not only preserving these cupola’s but turning them into art pieces! From the inside, it is worth tilting your head to have a good glance up at the intricate brickwork used in the construction. The stunning artisan work that goes intocupolas is something I have witnessed personally, and I often say that we are fortunate to be able to live in a city with so many skilled tradespeople. To build with the same quality and design in most of North America people would have to fly in someone who is capable of this type of construction. Take some time out on your next visit to our amazing city to look up, and take in a bit of our local architecture. There are several walking tours available, or if you so chose just grab a cup of coffee and wander the streets of gringo gulch, and the romantic zone and check out many often overlooked cupola’s dotting our cities skyline. Until next time enjoy the final days of our rainy season!

Today my work brings me much satisfaction,” she commented. She will receive the award on October 12th at 9:30 a.m. at the Silver Center in the city of Zacatecas during the 6th International Conference on Touristic and Socio-Cultural Advancement.

Denzel Washington - Talented American Actor By Fred Jacobs

enzel Washington was born on December 28, 1954, in Mount Vernon, New York. His father, originally from Virginia, was an ordained Pentecostal minister, and also worked for the New York City Water Department. His mother, born in Georgia, was a beauty parlor owner. He first appeared on the stage around the age of eight in a talent show at his local Boys & Girls Club. When Denzel was fourteen, his parents divorced, and his mother sent him to a private military school. Denzel is quoted as saying “That decision changed my life because I wouldn’t have survived in the direction I was going. The guys I was hanging out with at the time, my running buddies, have now done maybe 40 years combined in the penitentiary. They were nice guys, but the streets got them.” After high school, Denzel earned a B.A. degree in Drama and Journalism from Fordham University. While at school, Denzel excelled athletically as a guard in basketball but also had the starring roles in school productions of “Emperor Jones” and Shakespeare’s “Othello.” Denzel also won a scholarship to the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, and afterward worked with the Shakespeare in the Park ensemble. Denzel made his big screen debut in the 1981 comedy “Carbon Copy,” starring George Segal and Susan Saint James. But Denzel’s big break came on the small screen when he starred as Dr. Phillip Chandler in NBC’s television hit hospital drama “St. Elsewhere” (1982 to 1988). Denzel was one of only a few African-American actors to appear on the series for its entire six-year run. In the mid-1980’s, Denzel appeared in several movies, such as “A Soldier’s Story” (1984), “Hard Lessons” (1986) and “Power”

Denzel was a major box office hit, playing the lawyer of a gay man with AIDS in “Philadelphia” (1993), opposite Tom Hanks. The 1990’s would be the decade of Denzel Washington. In 1990, Denzel starred in the Spike Lee film “Mo’ Better Blues.” The following year, Denzel reunited with Spike Lee to play one of his most critically acclaimed roles, the lead character of 1992’s “Malcolm X,” opposite Angela Bassett. The role as the black nationalist leader earned him another Oscar nomination, this time for Best Actor. The next year, Denzel was a major box office hit, playing the lawyer of a gay man with AIDS in “Philadelphia” (1993), opposite Tom Hanks. One of my favorites in the 90’s was Denzel teaming up with Julia Roberts in “The Pelican

Brief” (1993). This legal thriller was a big box office hit. In 1999, Denzel starred in “The Hurricane,” a film about boxer Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter, whose conviction for triple murder was overturned after he spent almost 20 years in prison. The film did well at the box office and earned Denzel another Oscar nomination, for Best Actor. In 2001, Denzel played a corrupt LA cop in the thriller “Training Day,” and became only the second African American actor to win an Oscar for Best Actor, alongside Sidney Poitier. In 2004, Denzel starred in a remake of “The Manchurian Candidate,” alongside Meryl Streep, Liev Schreiber, and

Jon Voight. You know when you appear on the big screen opposite Meryl Streep, that you’ve “made it.” In 2007, Denzel starred in “American Gangster,” a crime thriller, co-starring Russell Crowe and Cuba Gooding Jr, which was a box office hit. In 2012, Denzel starred in “Flight,” in which he played a commercial airline pilot with a problem with alcohol and drugs. The role earned Denzel another nomination for an Oscar, for Best Actor. Throughout Denzel’s big screen successes, he has never left the Broadway stage for long, appearing in numerous productions in between filming movies. At only 62 years of age, I’m sure Denzel Washington has much more to give us in the years to come. Fred Jacobs is a full-time resident of Puerto Vallarta and the author of three books.

(1986). During this period, Denzel married actress Pauletta Pearson in 1983, and they had four children. Their oldest son, John David, was drafted in 2006 by the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. Denzel and Pauletta are still happily married, almost 35 years later. In 1987, Denzel starred as South African anti-apartheid political activist Steven Biko, in Richard Attenborough’s “Cry Freedom.” While not breaking even at the box office, Hollywood still loved Denzel’s performance, and he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. In 1989, Denzel appeared in the war film “Glory,” along with Matthew Broderick and Morgan Freeman. The film was nominated for five Oscars and won three including one for Denzel, for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of a defiant, self-possessed ex-slave soldier.
