80 FOR BRADY (2023, USA)

A film starring iconic legends Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Lilly Tomlin.

And with a cameo as GuGu a choreographer....a person I respect and adore. The wonderful Billy Porter. Anyone who knows me knows I love me some Billy Porter. He is amazing and so talented.

Gotta Love Billy Porter and these beautiful iconic actresses.

In this scene 4 ladies over 80 (except Sally Field) go to see the Super Bowl and Tom Brady but their tickets are fake and they can't get in. BILLY PORTER helps them claiming they are his dancers. So they cook up this number to get pass security.

Vin Diesel Gives "First Crush" Rita Moreno a Moving Tribute

Rita Moreno's incredible, decades-long career is being celebrated. Moreno, 92, appeared at the Edison Ballroom in New York City at the WNET Group's 2024 gala on Tuesday, May 7, where Vin Diesel celebrated his onscreen grandmother's and official "first crush's" legendary acting career. Taking the stage with a heartfelt speech, Diesel, 56, made it clear he was there to support Moreno, who portrayed Abuelita, the grandmother of Diesel's long-running Dominic Toretto character in Fast X. “My dream as a kid growing up here in New York … my first crush … was Rita," he began. He credited Moreno's role in The Electric Company for helping him and fellow New Yorkers in his neighborhood learn how to read. The classic television series ran from 1971 to 1977. He then recalled a full circle moment when he was looking for an actress to play Abuelita in the latest Fast & Furious franchise film. "I had the incredible luxury of meeting one of my idols and from that moment on I thought the only human in the world that could play the most significant role to Dom Toretto would be Rita Moreno." 8SP_David Nicholas He praised Moreno for helping him realize as a child that someone who "looks like me" can make it as a famous actor, giving him the "confidence" to pursue his own dreams. Sharing an unforgettable moment Diesel continued, "Rita and I were working and a line was created on the spot for her to say. It was whispered into her ear and she looked up and started crying and said. 'That’s the most beautiful line I’ve ever heard.' Now what? What do you do with that but cry? The whole set was crying." "You not only show up for family but you show up for people that make a difference in this world and that just by inviting me here validates my existence. I’m serious," Diesel said. "I don't have an Oscar, I don't have an Emmy, I don't have a Golden Globe, I don't have a Tony but I got Rita Moreno.” Moreno became emotional after hearing Diesel's kind words, and told the audience in what appeared to be an unexpected moment on the microphone, "I’ve never had any kind of celebration in my honor. Yes, I’ve gotten some pretty fabulous awards and statutes but I’ve never had anything in my honor." After reflecting on her journey, she sang a rendition of "Dream," which garnered a standing ovation from the audience. 8SP_David Nicholas Morgan Freeman, Alan Cumming, Lin Manuel-Miranda, and Sally Field also appeared via video to pay tribute to the EGOT winner. Dancers from the Ballet Hispánico performed at the event, as did Marvel actress and Dancing with the Stars champion Xochitl Gomez. Ansel Elgort performed "Something's Coming" from West Side Story, resulting in an emotional Moreno kissing Elgort after the moment.

Moreno reached EGOT status in 1977 after she won an Emmy Award for appearing on The Muppet Show; she won a Grammy in 1973 and a Tony Award in 1975 for her performance in The Ritz. Kristina Bumphrey/Variety via Getty Moreno turned 92 in December. She caught up with PEOPLE in April, when she spoke about her relationship with her daughter Fernanda Luisa Gordon, whom she shares with her late husband, Leonard Gordon. "There are times when I need her wisdom, and they are more often than you might think, particularly at this age," she said at the time. "Ninety-two is not easy in many ways, and it's something that's difficult to understand."  Source link Read the full article

Absolute Icon Rita Moreno at the 2022 Academy Awards

Why does Bárbara in that short wig make me think of Lydia (Abuelita) from One Day at a Time 😂😂😂

Rita Moreno wearing her 1962 Oscar dress is literally my everything. It. Is. Everything.

I have always adored this woman, and now I love her so hard I don’t even have words.

West Side Story remake:

!!!!SPOILERS!!!!

Mike Faist is amazing

Thank goodness they took it easy on the autotune and actually let the singers have vibrato and variance (mainly comparing it to the utter blandification of Nina and Vanessa from the In the Heights movie)

Fine with them moving "Cool" and changing the context because the chemistry and tension between Riff and Tony was palpable

If you're gonna change when it happens and who sings "Somewhere," it's only okay to give it to Rita Moreno as they did

"I Feel Pretty" after the rumble? Jarring and out off place. Did not fit.

Agreeing with an article I read: Tony actually being reformed from going to prison glorifies prison as a solution, when in actuality prison doesn't rehabilitate anyone

LET ARIANA DEBOSE DO THE HIGH KICK IN "AMERICA" SHE COULD HAVE DONE IT AND NAILED IT

Fabulous dancing, but please add a few more wide shots and a few less cuts

Thank you for casting actual people of color as people of color

Ariana DeBose and David Alvarez were a very believable couple, well done

Tony and Maria's chemistry wasn't up to par, but...

Tony and Riff's chemistry? Wow (see point 3). Yes, I believe Riff's death would motivate Tony to kill

Wish Maria and Anita had a few more scenes together

Yes please Rita Moreno please tell Tony to take her out for coffee at least before proposing!

Ansel Elgort's voice is good, but his delivery is a little flat. As I'm mentioning for the third time, his best scenes were with and in regards to Riff. (But can you blame him? I mean, Mike Faist was EVERYTHING in that role)

Great idea to make Anybodys trans. Particularly loved him beating up the Jets and just going all out, fists flying

Ariana DeBose needs more roles in everything, everywhere

To sum up: I mostly enjoyed it, again, Mike Faist was a standout, but I doubt I'll be watching it again, except for maybe just certain dance numbers and all of Mike Faist's scenes

Fabulous! 💁💄

One Dress a Day Challenge

Day 175

Color: Purple

West Side Story- Rita Moreno as Anita

How could I do a list of purple movie costumes and not include this one??  This scene and this dress is totally iconic.  I think it was an interesting choice to make this dress a drop-waist, rather than a typical a-line...so this makes her waist/torso look rally long and still shows off her figure, despite having a more full skirt.  I like the bit of texture with the fringe around the hips and the multicolor petticoat is a nice touch.  And of course, the dress looks fabulous while it’s moving!

TONY PERKINS: the kind of girls I like! We found a man- and what a man!- who frankly admits the talky intellectual femmes leave him cold... Who gets no thrills out of sweater girls and bikinis... Intrigued? So are we... The kind of girls I like?... Well, that's a tall order. So all I can do is start from the beginning and trust that I make sense- at least to myself. For one thing, I seem very young. People are always telling me I am anyway, so I like girls who are as young as I am- or younger in manner in attitude. I'm spotted for around nineteen or twnty so that would probably mean I'd like girls around eighteen or nineteen. Younger girls have more to talk about and they're a lot less self-conscious. They're more guileless and they're definitely less opinionated than older girls. That opinionated business- that really turns me off pretty fast. I like to enjoy myself and at least be able to discuss things in a give or take manner. If a girl is opinionated about one thing she's apt to be about many things, even about those on which she has no opinion at all. You can't have much fun with that kind of a girl. I think that any girl who is opinionated feels this makes her seem more mature, more intellectual, and more like a woman. Well, I like girls who are girls and not women.  I'm not too fond of the ambitious actress or career types either. However, there are exceptions. Some women in the profession are tough to talk to on the first meeting but when you meet them the second time you get a whole new picture. Rita Moreno is like that. The first time we saw her we exchanged nods. (Continued on page 61)  (Center)  I’d throw the coy and clinging kind out the car door (Bottom right) Tony Perkins stars in Columbia's "Over the Sea Wall" and is fabulous in Paramount's "Fear Strikes Out." He also stars in "The Tin Star" and Paramount has lined up "Desire Under the Elms", "The Matchmaker" and "The Lonely Man" for their brilliant young actor. Though Tony Perkins is not "shopping" for a wife he does like a bachelor's kind of dating. These off-beat candids show him giving thought to the subject.

It's true, the Alvarez family is still looking for a home. And what we're hearing, according to the "online data," is that there happens to be an enormous audience hoping and praying we succeed.

We're hoping and praying, too — for the beloved fans, our incredible showrunners, Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce, and our fabulous cast and, of course, for us two old farts who still enjoy waking up and going to work every day.

So here's some final data for your consideration: 183, our combined age, the Jew and the Puerto Rican. And, hey, we're still learning, too.

Rita Moreno said she wore a feather hat because she thought “what the hell?” and drew a heart on her face because she thought “what the hell?”.

She also said she couldn’t stop staring at herself in the monitor because she looks fabulous. 

What a legend

The Genetics if these Puertorrican Women are awesome even with retouches. 50+ and Fabulous!!!
