What future dictator reputedly appeared as an uncredited extra in the 1946 film Holiday Mexico?

The future dictator who reputedly appeared as an uncredited extra in the 1946 film "Holiday in Mexico" is Fidel Castro.

While there's no definitive proof, the story persists that Castro, then a young man in his 20s, was among the crowd scenes filmed in Havana. Some sources claim he even has a brief, fleeting appearance in the film, though others dismiss this as a myth.

It's an interesting anecdote, regardless of its truth, highlighting Castro's early connection to the Cuban capital and the entertainment industry.
