Hi Karine, hope your doing well. Can you do DIANE CARROLL and JOAN COLLINS at some point. I've been watching dynasty and they're sooooo iconic and classic femmes x
Rita Moreno is 91 years old. She will be 92 in December. Rita is still actively acting in movies. She looks awesome 👏
My thoughts about men at 69 y.o. - and this is from 2 failed marriages and several romantic relationships where we didn't marry. Be skeptical of men and love yourself in all the ways your heart needs. Rather than relying upon becoming a couple with a man for your existence - be strong and resilient BY YOURSELF first. Men don't always show their true colors before you get married! If you get educated and experienced in a career of your choice first before allowing yourself to succumb to marriage, then you can always be self-supporting if and when a relationship fails. I am now happily single.
My Puerto Rican idol! 😍 We boricuas are so incredibly proud of her!
🇵🇷
Rita Moreno is my Puerto Rican idol too! i watch all her movies. and i"m only 17 years old)
Yes, we lacks love her too! So pretty and elegant!
She was born on December 11, 1931. She is 91.
😲 Woah, she's my birthday twin, now I definitely gotta look her up!
My birthday twin too ❤
My birthday is the day after hers different year though
Rita Moreno was a trailblazer. Even after winning an Academy Award, there were no good film roles for her. Glad she persevered and turned to theater and tv. As for Brando, that was such a toxic relationship. He had a long history of mistreating the women in his life, and even his children. One tragedy after the next. I think her marriage might have been happier if her husband remained a doctor, not becoming her manager. Thanks, Karine, for your portrait of the legendary Latina, Rita Moreno!
I am in the mix of publishing a book. Rita Moreno made many documentaries, about her brother being left behind in Puerto Rico that was my father. They are many more secrets.
My father loved my mother dearly and he said a few times, "Your mother was almost Rita Moreno!" He just loved her!
She’s so talented, absolutely fabulous and very funny! More power to her.
Such a natural beauty!
Yep! I remember her from the Electric Company. I feel so old! 💖
70's Kid from Boston here remembering The Electric Company w Rita and Morgan Freeman 🥺🥺😌!
My Gosh
Exactly!🎯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Electric Company taught me to read, it was awesome.
“heyyyyy you guyyyysssss” Yep she was in it along with Morgan Freeman!!!
Her and Morgan Freeman 😊
Karine, you are a wealth of knowledge. God bless you and your channel
Thank you! God bless you 🙏🏼🩵
@@KarineAlourdeRita Moreno is amazing. But so is Marlon Brando. He is probably the top actor of all times. Yes he had a lot of women, but in those days and even today they are all sleeping around, it is part of their culture, so don’t demonize him. I saw when you made the video of Vivian Leigh you blamed her promiscuity on mental problems unlike the men who do this who you are always downgrading. Treat both men and women fairly, not one over the other.
Trivia: Dorothy Dandridge was originally cast as Tuptim in "The King and I", but she backed out (supposedly she didn't want to play a slave and Otto Preminger convinced her to turn down the role because it was not a lead). Rita Moreno was then cast. Dorothy also turned down the role that Rita eventually played in "The Lieutenant Wore Skirts". You show a clip from this movie.
yes that part is in the movie played by halle berrry!
Her beauty secret is that she is Puerto Rican ❤🇵🇷
I read her book. Heartbreaking, especially her emotional and mental rollercoaster with Marlon Brando. Hollyweird is disgusting. She's still lovely to this day though.
She was so damn pretty.
She was.
@@republiccooper She is still beautiful today
@@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988 I haven't seen recent pictures of her (I didn't watch the end of the video - I just listened to it)...but I believe you.
@@republiccooper She looks wonderful
@@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988 She looks good and is doing well at 91 years of age.
So beautiful ❤I went down the Old Hollywood tea rabbit hole after seeing her documentary on Netflix. She has lived quite a life and is still going strong. I just couldn’t believe how Marlon Brando treated her and he lived such a crazy life
Yeah it's sickening how he treated her I really enjoyed her documentary
She was very good in Law & Order: Criminal Intent ".
I think she didn't realize that she wasn't the one for Brando, there were alot of red flags but she choose to ignore them. She was his friend with benefits.
Rita Moreno is a Beautifully Classic Stunning MegaTalent !!!
I discovered her through Oz before realising she was Rita from West Side Story ! She's so talented
I knew her from West Side Story and got hooked on Oz after seeing Moreno was in it.
Marlon Brando had relationships with men also.
Merci beaucoup Karine. This woman has long fascinated me. First encounter as West Side Story of course. And even in scenes that she shared with the lovely Natalie Wood, my eyes were on Rita. Rita has shine like no one else.
Did anyone see The Ritz, about a gay bath house, where Goggi Gomez performed every night? Moreno is hysterical, one of the funniest characters in movies. Did anyone, like me, watch Rockford Files faithfully on TV? Guest star Moreno was so liked by the viewers, they wrote her into the show. It was a humerous show, and she made good on that. These roles were years and years after West Side Story. Oz was years and years after Rockford. She was so good, really superb, in all those venues. She once came into a theatre where I was working. We were the only people in the place. It was between shows. I was so excited to be in the same space as the great Rita Moreno. I wanted to tell her how much I enjoyed her work, she cut me off, refused to even look at me, and without a word walked right past me and out the main entrance. Tell me how elated I must have felt. Or is that humiliated. Denied my personhood. And all because I wanted to tell her how much joy she had brought into my life. End of story.
This woman is absolutely gorgeous amazing inspiring and “ the Latin Elizabeth Taylor!” - only better!
My grandmother told me about her as a child and it was encouraged to watch west side story amongst others to understand all she aspired and her tenacity! I have a true love and appreciation for her and all she accomplished! As a woman myself of so called Puerto Rican descent she will always be a great example of brilliance and determination for me!
I first saw Rita in West Side Story!! Electric Company was when I saw her! "Heyy, You Guysss"!!! I miss that show! A beautiful and talented woman! They have to give her her flowers!! She paved the way for those to follow!! Yes, she was good in Oz!! Rita still doing her thing tho! Marlon Brando wasn't worth all that pain! He was talented but, he had a lot of baggage!! He wasn't worth to try and take her life for! She overcame a lot!! She's great!!💋💋💋💐💐💐💐💐💐😘😘
Marlon secretly hated women , that bandit was so good looking and today they call them lady ki££ers . He destroyed a few actresses by love bombing them and luckily she didn't get pregnant
I watched the original West Side Story for the first time around 8 years ago and I remember thinking that Rita STOLE THE SHOW. She’s phenomenal and talented, and she seems like a lovely person.
Keep up the great content!
From Rachelle in London 🇬🇧☺️
Yes that’s why she won the Oscar for that. I think she may had been originally considered for Maria but turned that role down. I’m not sure if that’s entirely true I saw it on TH-cam.
1:24 She was so utterly beautiful. Btw she looks younger than ever. She looks awesome at 91 years old.
Beautiful lady and soul. She endured so much and I have much respect.
_''HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!''_ ~ R.M. ~ Thee Electric Company circa 1974
Great video. LOL about what she said about Elvis. She should have been casted as Maria in WSS but she stole the show anyway. Such a talented and beautiful lady.
It don't make sense though considering that this man had multiple women in and out of his life lol so she definitely just cheated on her husband to make him jealous
Brando never mentioned Moreno's name in his autobiography. Moreno had a lot to say about Brando in hers.
She loved him more than he loved her
I would love to see a video on Selena Quintanilla ! Anything for Selena!
yess
YES pleeeease
This sounds intriguing in the first few moments at the beginning of this breakdown.. wow 🫶
The precious gems you share with us all is a beautiful thing to see ❤ Love you Karine 💐
Thank you so much Nicole! Xoxo 😘🫶🏾🩵
She is sooooo beautiful and soooo talented! I love loooking at her (just out of admiration) and hearing about her. She went through so much. I'm glad she got her flowers and is still getting them. She's awesome!
Wow.........I never realized how absolutely stunning she was.
I have watched many stars' biography on TH-cam, and I love your style ..You not just telling the story, you are talking to your listeners about the story...
Yeah that's so true ! 😊
Absolutely...i always get sucked into their stories thru Karine's storytelling
thank you ms.karine for doing rita moreno story shes one of my favorite actress love you rita moreno.
And lets not forget how Marlon treated James Dean. She tried to kill herself over a bisexual 2 timer!
Oh 😮 Brando in to both genders
Say what?
@@spinrash6000He also was sleeping with Richard Pryor
Marlon used women for validation ,he had to feel like he could get any women he wanted and always made a plumb-line for all the newest actresses on set or in town but he was addicted to boys
I knew she was a Sagittarius for some reason and when you said it 🎉❤ love her !
So much I never knew about a woman I have always loved! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this one❤!!
She is still alive!
a latina icon❤ thank you for the updated video on her karine! have a great day
Yo!! Marlon Brando was a straight Narcissist. God bless Rita and her perseverance ❤
And obviously also a misogynist. He tormented and abused all the women he was involved with. He was better with the boys.
What a coincidence. I finished watching Oz today. She was amazing. I’m obsessed with her lately.
Hi friend!!! I'm from Brazil and love your channel and your self steem tips!I didn't know a lot about Rita Moreno. Thanks!
Alright all of you electric company kid's say it " HEY YOU GUYS " I Can't hear you say it like Rita would .She's in my soul. Wonderful unbelievably beautiful and nobody gets over on her. I truly love you. Thank for this.
She also was the Nun and counselor in the HBO series OZ. She's amazing. ❤
Great content and I love watching your deep dives. I do have to correct you. Rita Moreno is not a Puerto Rican immigrant. Puerto Rico is part of the United States and has been even since 1898. No Puerto Rican is an immigrant to the United States.
I believe she was referring to The Fictional character Anita in West Side Story. But what you're saying is true.
That's exactly what I was thinking I'm Puerto Rican my family are from Spain but my mom was born in Puerto Rico and where not immigrants
As a Cuban man growing up in the 70s, RM was everything to me. I’m so glad you did a video about her. She was just so funny and poignant at the same time. I’m so happy to have grown up with her because she gave so much and as a Hispanic she was the only who represented my community and when she did a gay movie, she knew who I was. I am so happy she’s still alive and so vibrant. Love her, love her, love her!!! 💙🤍❤️
Can you do Latin idol Charo?!?!?! She’s so iconic
Karine, great video. Rita Moreno is an amazing woman and Brando didn't deserve her. I was upset when I noticed she got her eyelids done to create a crease. She had the most beautiful eyes, her daughter has them now
Rita Moreno looks awesome today 😊
Thank you for this.
She's one of my inspirations. I looove me some Rita and Amina was my favorite character in Westside Story❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love Rita Moreno. She can do no wrong in my book. What a heart, inspiration and multi-talented gift to the Universe! ❤❤🎉🎉💃🏽💃🏽
I love Rita. Such a talented woman. I hope that I age as fantastic as she has.
My favourite anecdote from her was when she was told that Elvis really liked her. I mean, that’s quite a story right there.
Karine!! Muy bonita cuento!
Your videos just seem to get better and better!! I love your channel and I'll always be subscribed 😊 thank you for all you do!
Great Channel! 💯
Beautiful
Love this women!
She’s lovely in Fast and Furious X too!
I’m so happy various genres and generations get to see her in films today!
I loved Rita since the Electric Company, before I realized she was a big star in movies. I wish you mentioned she was in the recent WSS as well, which was especially written for her to be in the film!
her facial features remind me so much of olivia rodrigo! mainly the nose and eyes
They do resemble one another. which is interesting because Olivia is Filipino & White, Both beautiful.
4:51 omg yes i see it!
Thanks!
I love your videos! You are so positive and classy! I love that you keep these stars memories alive! Would you please consider doing Susan Hayward? Thank you!
She is still one of my favorite actors! And since she was the only Latina on TV, that really was precious for Latinas like me. ❤️
No one knows about prejudice till you experience it's ugly face yourself..being Latino in 60-70's that prejudice, sterotype was very evident...👏👏Good Rita!!
Didn't she know that Brando was on the other team?
she has always been so pretty to me
Elvis Presely was the most desired man who a few women said did not do it for them under the sheets.
He was more interested in young teenage girls that he could manipulate.
Love your videos! I'd love to see a video for Billie Holiday or Della Reese
Very good video! ❤️
I first learned of Ms Moreno from west side story cos my mother was a fan of musicals. I also enjoyed her role in Netflix’s one day at a time series as the abuela.
karine, i would love if make a video about Beatriz “Coca” Sarli 🙏🏻 i’m sure you’re gonna like her
If you have not, would you kindly cover Calamity Jane? I love your videos
Karine I am a hollywood actor we love your videos! So educational on such history! Please do one on the queen of B movies Jean Carmen! She was friends with Marilyn Monroe and was Frank Sinatras Mistress! Love U much! Girl love your videos!
You can do some Rosemary Clooney, Sandy Dennis, Margot Kidder, Diane Keaton & Jerry Hall . That’ll be interesting!
She was such cutie. And still her personality is soo great. Theres this story that the for West side story they didn't want her to give her the lider role but they told Natalie wood to imitate Rita, and that she was jealous of Rita because she could sing, dance and act.
I had no idea the background she had when I saw her play the nun in oz!
@Karine Alourde you said Rita Moreno was born in 1931 which makes her 91 going on 92...she couldn't possibly be in her late 80's...great video, I'm just sorry to hear she didn't have the strength to leave Marlon Brando sooner.
Lol she said that Mexican food reminded her of her childhood in Puerto Rico?! Mexican food is nothing like Puerto Rican food 😂
I cringed when she made that comparison. You are indeed correct. Two completely different cultures, and the cuisines are polar opposites. Mexican food tends to lean towards spicy and flavorful. Puerto Rican food is Carribean, lots of flavor. Spanish Soul food. Both cuisines are very tasty individually. I wonder why she said that? Interesting. 😅Smdh.
@@Kim63146 lol it made me cringe too!! I grew up on Puerto Rican food, I really don't care much for Mexican food. I'm not sure how she made the connection, maybe she was trying to appeal to a Mexican audience? For sure Puerto Rican food has a lot of aspects from Spanish, African, and Taino cuisines. I don't even think Mexicans have a recipe for bacalao.
@Devon Indeed! 🔔! I agree. I thought the same way that she was trying to bond, vibe, and be accepted by the Mexican audience. She just needed to be herself. Do not worry about acceptance by a particular group. Puerto Ricans have the bacalao on lock. I can and do prepare Puerto Rican food. My mother in law taught me well. Yummy! I can not get PR food here in SoCal. I cook my own authentic PR food for myself, my family, and my friends. I like Mexican food as well. I just enjoy PR & Carribean food better. No comparisons. It's my preference ❤️
Proud Puerto Rican Woman! Ton of talent ! However... Dumped by Brando, Got older, Married for $ and security, and for the rest of her life never got over Brando. Sounds like most women, Your Welcome.
She was also featured in Jane the Virgin! 💜
Happy Friday sis 😘😘. I was watching a video about her and her career about a month ago lmao. I know this video will be informative though 🫶🏾.
Happy Friday sis 😘😘🩵🩵
It was The Electric Company where I first saw her and from then on I began to find out more about her long, storied career.
To think what they did to the Puerto Ricans; then in Hollywood, lawd' have mercy on Puerto Rico.
Hollyweird this woman is pure beautify unlike Jennifer hopeless no talent
@@spinrash6000 J, Lo is beautiful if knot, then purchase a set of 👓 es
I have her picture decorating my guest room.
Please don’t be offended background noise annoying horrible. It’s like a noise it will not stop. I do wish your brother well with music efforts but it just doesn’t work.
She like Mexican food cuz it reminded her of pr????? Lol
What….
Then foods don’t even taste the same …
Rican food is closer to Cuban and Jamaican not at all Mexican
I love both Puerto Rico and Mexican food
You know you’re right. In the context of Hollyweird’s golden age however, delicious Mexican cuisine was possibly the closest comfort food she could find easily. ☮️
True.
Exactly. Puerto Rican cusine is completely different than Mexican.
Well you got Indians Spanish African and middle easterns all mixing on those islands so if Spanish then yes they use different beans and more corn , prefer salsa over pepper things like that
Inger Stevens. Dinah Shore. Just a couple ideas for future vids ♥️
If you don’t mind me asking, do you have Ananda Lewis, Nichelle Nichols, and Nina Mae McKinney on your list? Ananda is such a beautiful spirit 🥺❤️.
Ananda is not a legend or Hollywood icon. I'm not knocking her but her resume does not match the women Karin has covered on this channel.
Rita is 91!
I thought she made an antiblack statement recently but let me take a look😊
*ViVa Moreno💃*
She also was a gay rights activist and icon - glad I found her!
Then Marlo, wow!
This was sad 😢.
If you decide to do a video about Elvis, you should mention his suspected Melungeon heritage. Thats an Appalachian group that has european, african, and indigenous blood. People like steve martin and tom hanks are rumored to be melungeon. I always thought all of the above people looked "not quite white"... just a thought
