Description: Lot includes 1 booklet and 1 photograph. Carmen Elena Castilla [or Carmen Cugat during the time this booklet was in use; maiden name was used, as that is the reference to her SSI number. Sites online give her name as Castillo, not Castilla--this is on Xavier Cugat dot com, which is where the wikipedia article got their information, so I am not sure if this is a typo from his site, or if the AGVA made a mistake (this was filled out on a typewriter!) , but one thing is for sure, this is his second wife. You can find a picture of them together on his site (drop down for more on top of any page, then a link for wives), and it is 100% her, I believe in their wedding photo. Also on the bottom of that page you can find links to her recordings.] Small pocket size booklet, filled with AGVA stamps on 4 pages. If you played in a reputable club during this era, you and your entire band had to be a member in good standing. Carmen was the lead singer in Xavier's band [Xavier Cugat Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra]. AGVA is a branch of Associated Actors and Artistes of America Which Includes: Actors Equity Association, American Federation of Radio Artists, American Guild of Musical Artists, Chorus Equity Association, and Screen Actors Guild.
