Jorge Perez, left Argentina under the dictatorial military government pressure that was trying to control and limit this actor career as it is the case of the military censorship, that did not allow Jorge Perez to be Evelyn in a movie named "My girlfriend the transvestite". 

Instead the censor ordered the word "transvestite" to be removed from the title only allowing the movie to be named " My girlfriend him"... The dictatorial censor also did not allow Jorge Perez to be shown as a Evelyn in the movie and the roll was given to a real woman, that "she was allowed to dress as a man for the roll"!! 

Returning from the stage one night, he found a note on his dressing room dresser that said "you'll be next." Evelyn felt the threat inside her skin and ran out of the theater right then and there without hesitation.
