About the Book

En esta locida autobiografia, Rita Moreno nos hace participes de su extraordinario periplo desde los sencillos inicios de su temprana ninez en Puerto Rico hasta que se convirti en una leyenda de Hollywood y en una de las pocas artistas, y la onica hispana, que ha ganado un Oscar, un Grammy, un Tony, y dos Emmy. A la edad de cinco anos, Rosita Dolores Alverio, nacida en la idilica isla de Puerto Rico, se embarc en una borrascosa travesia por mar con su madre, que la llev hasta los turbulentos barrios del Bronx, donde descubri que la danza, el canto y la actuaci n serian el escape de su accidentada ninez. A sus trece anos, debut en Broadway y poco despues, en los anos dorados de la meca del cine, se traslad a Hollywood donde trabaj junto a estrellas de la talla de Gary Cooper, Yul Brynner, y Ann Miller. Cuando fue descubierta por Louis B. Mayer de MGM, el propio magnate declar - "Ella parece una Elizabeth Taylor hispana". Gene Kelly la eligi para interpretar el papel de Zelda Zanders en Singin' in the Rain, que la lanz a la fama y a su actuaci n ganadora del Oscar, en West Side Story. Pero durante mucho tiempo Moreno fue encasillada en el estereotipo de "versatil nativa" un rol que le fue casi imposible eludir. Aqui, por primera vez Rita reflexiona sobre su prolongada lucha por superar las barreras raciales y sexuales de Hollywood. Estudia a fondo la vulnerable jovencita que ocultaba su glamorosa fachada y cuanto le cost encontrar su lugar en el mundo. Habla con franqueza de su relaci n con Elvis Presley, de sus encuentros con Howard Hughes, y del apasionado romance con Marlon Brando que la llev hasta un intento de suicidio. Y nos ensena los bemoles de un matrimonio "perfecto" y las incomparables alegrias de la maternidad. Impregnada del brillante desparpajo y la profunda perspicacia de Rita Moreno, esta autobiografia es el deslumbrante retrato de una estrella del teatro y el cine que anhelaba convertirse en lo que realmente es ella... y lo logr .
