Description

Rita Moreno shares her remarkable journey from humble beginnings in Puerto Rico to Hollywood legend in this New York Times bestselling memoir. Born Rosita Dolores Alverio, Rita recounts her tumultuous childhood and the ways she found escape through dancing, singing, and acting. From her Broadway debut at thirteen to her Oscar-winning performance in West Side Story, Rita's story is one of perseverance and struggle to break through Hollywood's racial and sexual barriers. She shares candid stories about her relationships with Elvis Presley, Howard Hughes, and Marlon Brando, as well as the joys of motherhood. Infused with Rita Moreno's quick wit and deep insight, this memoir offers a dazzling portrait of a stage and screen star who longed to become who she really is - and triumphed.
