Rita Moreno remains young because she is so completely full of life. It’s extraordinary. What a lady.
ReplySaw “In the Heights” on stage. It was absolutely delightful. Much better than Hamilton, imo.
Unfortunately, there have been a few fairer-skinned Latinos who have been publicly insensitive to the plight of the Afro-Latino in Hollywood and beyond. Lin has gotten caught up in that controversy. It’s too bad, really.
ReplyI love this woman. She is a national treasure. You can tell she loves Lin Manuel. I am sure Lin will do better.
ReplyWatch, they will be mad for this
ReplyThe sad thing about In The Heights is that most people talking about this movie didn’t see the film. The movie had a low box office.
ReplyIt is weird that some movies have characters that do actual offensive things. Yet those film dont get the energy that In The Heights is getting
ReplyCan Someone name the last five movies that came out in recent history that had a cast that was mostly Hispanic?
ReplyWow! I really love that lady. The segment got me surfing talk show appearances throughout her career on YouTube. She is consistently so fun and talented. Rita is a legend.
ReplyAll these people that have issue with this movie. Do you support Afro-Latino Actors when they are casted? Gina Torres is a wonderful actor yet where is the love and support.
Replyblack people have been loud enough for long enough and now that people of other “color” finally get the chance to get on the stage they want in agaaaain
ReplyOh wow. Rita. No. Give it time? What kind of BS is that. Privilege.
ReplyOodat introduced me to Rita Moreno. It was synergy. I had lost my grandma just 3 weeks before I saw oodat and her abuela made me cry like a baby for hours on end. I love her.
ReplyLa reina ha divho
