"Vivo" star Gloria Estefan recalled fleeing Cuba as a child before helping her husband Emilio rescue his family.
The "Turn the Beat Around" singer was born in 1957, just a few years before Fidel Castro's historic assumption of power in the island nation.
"I left Cuba when I was literally two and a half years old," she recalled, per Entertainment Tonight. "In May of 1960, I was brought to the U.S. because my father was a police officer for the Cuban government."
