Farwell to the beautiful Olga Guillot  (October 9, 1922 – July 12, 2010)
DocMiami was more than humbled that Ms. Guillot and her daughter shared the inaugural DocMiami festival with us and that she was able to be presented the first “El Rey" Tito Puente Contribution to the Arts Award by Tito Puente Jr. The world will sincerely miss such a talented, strong willed, beautiful lady and her contribution to the Arts and to the world in general will most certainly continue to grow beyond measure.
