Stewart Solomon, chairman and founder of Creative WorkShops, has added another sizzling hot performer to his already star-studded clientele. After coaching singing sensation Gloria Estefan and Univision superstar,Sofia Vergara — Stewart’s reputation has traveled to Los Angeles, the home of his latest A-List client: Mia Maestro.

Maestro — who’s currently dazzling Hollywood with her dramatic performances in a string of celebrated movies, including TANGO, Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film (1998) the new Mike Figgis film TIME CODE. — worked exclusively with Stewart to prepare for her starring role in FOR LOVE OR COUNTRY. The movie is a compelling drama about Arturo Sandoval that’s currently running on HBO and was nominated in December for a Golden Globe for Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.

HBO executives are giving FOR LOVE OR COUNTRY even more prominence by airing a documentary on its production and chilling subject matter. Stewart appears in that documentary (picture L to R: Andy Garcia, Stewart, his clients Nestor Torres, Mia Maestro & Gloria Estefan), as he spent many hours on location with the performers. He attended the Miami premiere of the movie, hosted by Gloria and Emilio Estefan at their world famous eatery, Bongos, November 11, 2000 (picture right). The production also stars Andy Garcia (Golden Globe nominee for Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television) and Estefan — who Stewart coached on-set (picture right) for her motion picture debut in MUSIC OF THE HEART, starring Meryl Streep and Angela Basset.
