I don't think I'm ready for the day we can no longer call Rita a living legend. She means so much for so many. I feel so blessed to have that representation.
My father used to watch the Electric Company with me because of Rita Moreno. He LOVED her and kept telling me what a great actress she was. It was years later that I finally saw her in West Side Story. I saw the great talent that my father spoke of often. I understood what he meant when he said "She kicked down doors and broke the glass ceiling for people of color. When he told that as a child I took it literally and wondered if she served any jail time. LOL! But I learned what he meant when I finally saw the movie and learned her story. I know he is in heaven now looking down as I am watching this icon and thinking of him laying on the family room floor watching Rita Moreno with me. Thank you for posting.
I SAW HER MISS RITA MORENO IN WEST SIDE STORY AND SHE WAS FANTASTIC, SHE CAN REALLY DANCE, AN SHES A GREAT ACTRESS AS WELL I LIKE THAT HER AND MORGAN FREEMAN ARE GREAT FRIENDS CAUSE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL MY BROTHER AND I USE TOO WATCH ELLETRIC COMPANY ON CHANNEL 11, ELLECTRIC COMPANY, SASAME STREET AN ZOOM, AND MR ROGERS, IN THE AFTER NOONS AFTER SCHOOL, SOME TIMES IN THE MORNING BEFORE SCHOOLS WE WATCH THIS AS KIDS AND I REMEMBER THEM BOTH RITA AND MORGAN FREEMAN FROM ELLETRIC COMPANY ON CHANNEL 11, I HAD NO IDEA THEY BOTH WOULD GO ON TO BE BIGGER THIN LIFE, BUT IM GLAD THEY BOTH ARE DOING WELL RITA AND MORGAN FREEMAN WAS GREAT FOR KIDS LIKE ME AN MY BROTHER AND THEY BOTH ARE STILL GREAT IN THE ARTS AND MOVIES GOD BLESS THEM BOTH AMEN
All we need now is an Electric Company reunion in 2021,if PBS is smart enough to do so,now that Morgan Freeman has made peace with his Easy Reader character(there's an interview in an AARP 2017 magazine about his life and career) and time on the show.One of my absolute favorite learning shows.
Kolka honoring Rita! Smallfoot reference intended. I was 15 when I saw West Side Story for the first on TCM. I’m 27 now. I remember watching this tribute five years ago on TV
When Rita dances the earth shakes and quakes and ugliness and hatred are banished if only she could dance forever and abolish those forces from the universe we are blessed she abolished them in our lifetimes!
less than 10secs into gina's speech i was already crying
Rita is a legend, an icon, a national treasure and a great inspiration ❤❤

Those people never get tired of honoring themselves. It just goes on and on. Actors and actresses are the scum of the earth.
