Rita Moreno: A Memoir by Rita Moreno

4.0

A terrific deep dive into the life of an absolute icon. After seeing and greatly enjoying Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It last year, I simply had to know more about Moreno, and this book fit the bill perfectly. Moreno covers everything in great detail from her move to the United States and childhood to her position in present day as as a multitalented entertainer and EGOT recipient. I wish that this book had been published more recently than 2012 to include her time and experiences on One Day at a Time and especially the West Side Story remake, but otherwise I found this to be excellent and the material about her complicated relationship with Marlon Brando is incredibly fascinating.
