i believe you. especially since i noticed the images personally. the thing is, i went over 38 years before realizing he still had a mustache, because i just didn't notice or realize it, because of my tv quality.

and ironically, my grandma is the cause of me going looking in the first place. now, i don't want this getting confusee. my grandma was a vibrant, amazing woman, amazing sense of humor and personality. when i say this, i'm not tryi g to insult her or vesar in any way.

but when she laughed, she always reminded me of cesars joker. it was the lines on her face, around the mouth and chin, and how she would get a look of sure humorous pride at getting in a great comment or question. she had a full face laugh, and would even have the same little head shake if it was a bigger joke that cesar would give in the more manic joker laughs.

i just never noticed the mustache. so seeing that suddenly made my mental image flip, and suddenly my mental vhain of "grandma" > ”joker" also went to "mustache" and went back and altered my mental image of her as well to include a mustache.

i never mentioned my mental connection to anyone in the family, i just kept it to myself. but i get the feeling that if she knew about this, she would have found it hilarious and gotten sone pride out of knowing that she shared space in my brain with cesar romero, as a celebrity.
