Photo taken of Fidel Castro in Havana, Cuba in May, 1991. I was shooting an interview for ABC Sports to be included in their coverage of the 1991 PanAm Games hosted by Cuba that year. I had been in Cuba for two months (off and on) from March through May and the Cuban government finally gave ABC Sports the interview... one of hundreds of requests for interviews with Castro that had been sitting unanswered in the Ministry of State for years. At 5:00 PM we were allowed into the Ministry of State and Nancy Cohen, the sound recordist, and myself set up 2 cameras, audio, lighting and IFB for the interviewer, Jim McKay. Castro finally came into the room at 11:20 PM (the interview was scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM but we were told he might be late...) and slowly made his way around the room introducing himself to each of our 12 person entourage. Having interviewed countless celebrities, politicians, artists and writers I was used to being around "stars," but when Castro entered the room the hair on the back of my neck stood up... as I realized that this man was one of the great villains of my youth. The nuclear attack drills that were practiced in elementary school during the early days of the Cold War... walking single-file into the hallway, sitting down and placing our books on top of our heads knowing that our math books would protect us from the falling nuclear warheads... were brought about by Nikita Kruschev and this man... now standing in front of me, hand extended, eyes piercing my skull, asking me my name. The interview lasted four hours and afterward we all sat around until 6:30 AM drinking Chivas and Cuban rum and eating ham sandwiches like we were just shooting the shit with a couple of friends.
