I too went to see her in Waikiki and sat ringside. I have a picture with her too, and I don't care what it cost. It completes me.
Her home was on Kauai and if you talked to the locals about her, no one had a single even tiny semi-nasty or snide thing to say. Period.
Have fun. She's a blast.
As for the age thing, she has said that Cugat 'found' her when she was 14. In the 70s she went in front of a judge and said that she had no birth certificate and that her baptism certificate was destroyed in a fire. She then told the judge that she had been born on such-and-such a date and bam, the judge ruled she was 26.
Smart cookie.
