Many American celebrities have chosen to live in various parts of Mexico, too. Such as Sloan Simpson.

[00:25:53]
Here, she's planning a menu for a special party with Emanuel [[d'Compte ??]], the former chef of Maxim's in Paris.

[00:26:06]
Before making Mexico her home, Sloan Simpson was married to New York City's Mayor O'Dwyer, who later became the American Ambassador to Mexico.

[00:26:16]
It was as Mrs. Ambassador that she became enamored with the country, and it with her. Now she works in public relations for a leading American airline company, and her name and popularity have become synonymous with that of Acapulco.

[00:26:29]
Here she's talking with Don Budge and his wife Laurie. They too make their home in Mexico. As you all know, Don Budge won world fame as one of the greatest tennis players of all times.

[00:26:42]
And in the late 1930s was the outstanding champion in the sport, with his name recorded in the annals of tennis history. And now he said he lives where he can play tennis year-round, so his style and form remain excellent.

[00:26:54]
Also he's able to continue working in his chosen profession as a tennis-pro at one of the leading resort hotels. But you know, I was just thinking, perhaps he should take on Bobby Riggs just once more!

Another very popular place to live is Cuernavaca. Just 30 miles south of Mexico City, it's a bright, semi-tropical area.

[00:27:20]
As far back as 1530 it became the favorite place for the conquering Cortez, who build this palace here that's now a popular tourist attraction.

[00:27:31]
And Maximillian and Carlotta, who briefly ruled in Mexico, escaped the busy capital to spend weekends here. So, over the centuries Cuernavaca has been well tested and proven to be an ideal place to live.

[00:27:45]
Only 12 years ago the population was 20,000. Now it's over 65,000.

[00:27:54]
Everywhere houses are crowding and pushing up hills, and new projects are spreading out in all directions.
