Rita Moreno - 'Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It'

from Awards Chatter · host The Hollywood Reporter

The first Latina ever to win an Oscar and one of only 16 EGOTs ever reflects on the stereotypical casting and abusive behavior she encountered as a Hollywood starlet, working on classics like 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'West Side Story' and why she is convinced that the latter's upcoming remake — in which she appears and on which she was an EP — will avoid the pitfalls that undid another recent movie musical about Latinos in America, 'In the Heights.'

That question drives Pineapple Street Studios and award-winning host Dan Taberski (Missing Richard Simmons, Running From COPS, The Line) to shift the focus to what happened on 9/12, and every day after that. 9/12 is a poignant, surprising, and surprisingly funny seven episode series about people who wake up on 9/12 having to navigate a new, radically altered world. A teenager gets caught up in an out-of-control conspiracy theory that he helped start. A Pakistani business owner finds hundreds of his Brooklyn neighbors are disappearing. Joke-writers at The Onion must figure out just how soon is “too soon”? 9/12 asks what it all means. We know what happened on 9/11.
