Rita Moreno by Rita Moreno

A Memoir

A candid memoir that traces a Puerto Rican girl's rise from a modest childhood and early stage work to international stardom, recounting breakthrough performances—most notably the role that earned her the Academy Award—and a long career across Broadway, film, and television. She reflects on the persistent stereotyping and racism she faced in Hollywood, the personal costs and relationships shaped by show business, and her resilience in reinventing herself while advocating for greater Latino representation, all told with wit and unflinching honesty.
