Final Years
By the late 1960s, Bravo was a seasoned bullfighter, who still had his looks and, as such, was looking to the film world for a career that might suit him once he retired from the bulls. There were a variety of production companies keen on giving him a go. He had a high enough profile that his name could draw the people, both within the Mexican interior and in the USA. Keep in mind that he had a large following in the border towns, such as Tijuana, Nogales, Juarez and Matamoros, making his name easily recognizable in states such as California, Arizona, and Texas. But such was not to be.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:
“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Wondrous hole! Magical hole! Dazzlingly influential hole! Noble and effulgent hole! From this hole everything follows logically: first the baby, then the placenta, then, for years and years and years until death, a way of life. It is all logic, and she who lives by the hole will live also by its logic. It is, appropriately, logic with a hole in it.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
