Cast
High Heels was an interpretative tour de force for two essential actresses of the 'Almodóvarian universe': Marisa Paredes and Victoria Abril. The male lead was difficult to cast. The actor had to be believable in drag and as a judge. The role eventually went to Miguel Bosé, a famous singer in Spain and Latin America. His casting was a cause celebre of the film publicity.
