1. SIPGWM_191115_07.JPG: Walter Mercado, 1932-2019 Born Ponce, Puerto Rico Known for his glimmering capes, Walter Mercado was an exuberant television personality whose segments were widely enjoyed in Latin America and the United States. Originally a dancer and an actor, Mercado's career took off in the 1970s, when he filled in for a missing guest on a Puerto Rican program. His impromptu performance -- as an astrologer -- was a hit and paved the way for him to create and produce his own show. When Mercado's astrology programs were being broadcast by Univisión (1994–2010), he reached more than 120 million viewers daily. His predictions also appeared in newspapers and magazines, and his voice could be heard on the radio. For fans, Mercado was more than an astrologer; he was a trustworthy source on matters ranging from everyday life to poli- tics. His non-conforming persona, particularly with regard to gender, made him an icon for LGBTQ+ communities. Always one to promote peace and understanding, Mercado signed off each show with "Mucho, mucho amor." Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte, in collaboration with Tico Torres, 1998
