July 31, 2010
Comment on Facebook
Sandra Curtis, Ph.D. author of Zorro Unmasked, the Official History, will discuss highlights of the 90 year history of the beloved 19th century Spanish California champion of the oppressed, whose story is intimately tied to Mission San Juan Capistrano. Amazon.com hailed her book as "A must-read for Zorro aficionados," noting that her, "thorough compendium offers a rich historical cross section of one of pop cultures most influential icons. Beginning with his debut in 1919 in a pulp magazine to Antonio Banderas's high-profile impersonation in The Mask of Zorro, every factoid and trivial tidbit about the masked muchacho is included."
In her role as Sr. Vice President for Zorro Productions, Inc. for twenty years, Sandra spearheaded creative development. Not only did she produce Zorro projects across media from Zorro the Musical, with an original score by the Gypsy Kings to a Spanish language telenovela, Zorro, the Sword and the Rose, among other major ventures in film, licensing, toys, electronic games but she penned seven Zorro novels.. She conceived and then convinced Isabel Allende to write Zorro, a Novel, the backstory for the Zorro legend on Diego de la Vega's early life and his development into the renowned folk hero.
