Many Latin American singers have announced, albeit in broken English, their decisions to become crossover artists with the goal of appealing to a worldwide audience. Paulina Rubio, Carlos Ponce, RBD (these names probably don’t ring any bells): they all tried it with only limited success.

Non-Spanish speakers have enjoyed Juanes’s music—no translation necessary. “La Vida...Es Un Ratico,” his first album in three years, happily...

...Though she may not have intended malice, Alice's sharp tongue did leave wounds, reducing Eleanor to tears. In 1957, Alice's quiet daughter Paulina died of an overdose of sleeping pills. A softened Alice adopted Sturm and reconciled with Eleanor, who sent her an affecting condolence note. "She was a lively grandmother," Sturm says of Alice, who spent two more decades entertaining Nixons and Kennedys in her home, which was covered with old animal skins, books and peeling paint.
