She is simply amazing, accomplished, talented and down to Earth. her contributions have been wonderful and it is sad that some people in Latin America do not know her and how much she has done. We have in her a great role model to be inspired by

Puerto Rican pride , she is amazing

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

One of my fave ladies. Funny, smart as a whip, so cool....She lives on the Upper West Side in NYC. One day, on line in Zabar's, they were playing music on the PA system...and someone in front of her online said, "Tango!!". He must have been a dancer, so the story goes.. Anyway they burst into a spontaneous little routine..to wild applause. Love her so much!!

[@MrBoliao98]

Her skin sag is right, it's good she didn't do any surgery she looks wonderful and apt. She looks late 60s for an 80 yr old, goodness she's so good looking.

A lovely interview and lovely woman. I saw her a few years ago through San Francisco Performances' Salons at the Rex series and she was an incredible live performer.

I'm a forever fan of Rita Moreno! I loved the new documentary about her life. She is an Icon and true American. I will support the new West Side Story because she is an executive producer.

Great interview Lee Hawkins

[@JazzKeyboardist1]

is it not funny that rita was the first Hispanic to,, and the first ,,,, and youtube people are proud to be the first on the channel? when I play bernsteins America I think of rita and I play it a lot,, as an intro and the chorus is fun to improv over as suspended chords

[@j.louisv.123]

Did she really suggest all black folks come from the ghetto ? Oh Rita....

[@martahernandez9784]

She should not have said she is white like a Spaniard and the host is as brown as her little brother. I am Hispanic, and it upset me when I was a child and called brown. Who cares?

[@kingkylee2105]

First

[@pjolivier2888]

I don’t get the fascination lol, she’s a frump for goodness sake!

[@johnrandolph6121]

I can't figure out her eye brows. She's got a lower set that are red and then an upper set that are gray that are too high. Also the interviewer sucks.
