José Ernesto Quintanilla studied economics at the University of Nuevo Leon and at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, where he completed his Master's and Doctorate studies. Besides carrying out his duties as a public servant, he published essays about political economics. His interest in the figure of Pedro Infante took him to research for a long time-- everything relating to Pedro's life, work, and the time period of this popular idol. He became one of the leading specialists on this subject that continually brings a journey full of anecdotes, information and nostalgia.
