“THE TINY Nightingale”, as he was well known in Spain when he became a widely effective child superstar, had an extremely troubled years as a child that resulted in a far more troubled lifestyle as a grown-up. José Jiménez Fernández was created in Beas de Segura (Jaén, Andalucía, Spain), on Feb 11, 1943, even though some resources claim it had been in 1947, because of false advertising with the studios that produced his films, and which wished to make him show up young than he actually was (an obsession that haunted him through the entire of his profession), pretending he was 9 at this time of his debut, when he in fact was 13. Discovered like a singer by Luis Mariano, who got him to execute in France, Joselito was launched towards the movie business in 1956 by Antonio del Amo, who directed him in his 1st feature, El pequeño ruiseñor (1957) (“THE TINY Nightingale”), where he earned his famous nickname. Spanish film studios had been buying new child celebrity to check out the actions of Pablito Calvo, and make well-known and populist folkloric films, that have been big box-office strikes in Spain during Franco’s dictatorship. After several movies and documents, and already a large star like a singer and an actor in European countries, another move was wanting to triumph in the us, so Joselito visited Mexico where he filmed various tasks, starting by Aventuras de Joselito y Pulgarcito (1960), which matched him with Mexican child star ‘Cesáreo Quezadas Pulgarcito to grant local box-office. His achievement even reached the united states, where he seemed to great acclaim in The Ed Sullivan Present (1948) with Ed Sullivan. Nevertheless, life had not been too gorgeous for Joselito, as he was treated nearly being a sideshow work by his managers, not really allowing him to be the teen he was (that was a milestone in Spanish “kid prodigies” under Franco: endeavoring to maintain them only a small amount kids for so long as feasible), as well as locking him in his area between rehearsals therefore he couldn’t meet up with ladies. He was pressured to maintain his childlike picture up to 1969 (when he is at his mid-twenties), when he made an appearance in his last film, Prisionero en la ciudad (1969). But, as his tone of voice had long damaged, he had not been successful any longer and he retired, disappearing from general public life until it had been discovered much later on that he previously turn into a heroin addict as well as worked like a mercenary in Africa. An attempt of the comeback as a grown-up demonstrated unsuccessful, as the tastes from the audience had changed, and his tone of voice didn’t resemble the main one he previously as a youngster, so Joselito definitely retired from present business to his house in Utiel (Valencia, Spain), where he, now clean and sober, lives a noiseless life definately not film and recording studios.
