He mele kaulana ʻo Rita Moreno i ʻike ʻia ma ka honua o Hollywood, ʻo Puerto Rican ma ke kumu. Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i mea koʻikoʻi i ka ʻoihana hōʻikeʻike, ʻoiai ʻo kona mau makahiki ʻelemakule.
Loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau makana hanohano i kāna hōʻaiʻē, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Golden Globe Award a me ka Oscar Award, i pana ʻia e nā mea kaulana a pau. Akā he aha ke ala o kēia wahine i ka holomua?
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke ala o Rita Moreno i ka holomua
Ua hānau ʻia ka mea kaulana i ka wā e hiki mai ana ma Dekemaba 11, 1931 ma ke kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ʻo Puerto Rican ʻo Humacao. He kanaka mahiʻai kona makuakāne a mālama i ka ʻohana nui, a ua koho kona makuahine i ka ʻoihana humuhumu. Ua hāʻawi nā mākua i ke kaikamahine hānau hou i ka inoa ʻo Rosita Dolores Alverio.
I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hānau lākou i kahi kaikamahine a me kahi kaikaina, akā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka pilina o ka ʻohana. Ma hope o ka hemo ʻana i ka makahiki 5 wale nō ʻo Rita.
Ua noho ke kaikunāne o ke kaikamahine me kona makuakāne, a ua hoʻoholo kona makuahine e lawe i kāna kaikamahine a neʻe i New York. Ma ʻAmelika, ua puka ʻo Rita mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe, a laila loaʻa iā ia kahi hoʻonaʻauao kiʻekiʻe a hoʻomaka e hana i kekahi o nā hale keaka kūloko.
Ma ke ʻano like, ua hana ka hōkū e hiki mai ana i ka hula, a ʻo kāna kumu ka choreographer kaulana ʻo Paco Canzino.
Ma ke ʻano he ʻōpio 11 makahiki, ua komo ʻo Rita i ka unuhi ʻana o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻAmelika i ka ʻōlelo Sepania. Akā ma ke ala e kaulana ai, pono ʻo ia e kū i kekahi mau pilikia. I ka wā mua, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Rita i nā hana liʻiliʻi wale nō i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni.
I ka makahiki 1944, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia i kekahi o nā kuleana ma Broadway. I kēlā manawa, he 13 makahiki wale nō ke kaikamahine. Me kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hōʻike piha ʻo ia i kāna pono ponoʻī. Ua ʻike koke ʻia kēia e nā alakaʻi Hollywood a mahalo ʻia e ka lehulehu.
Ma waena o nā hana kaulana loa me ke komo ʻana o Moreno ʻo "Ritz" a me "Gantry". No ke komo ʻana i ka hope, ua koho ʻia ʻo ia no kahi makana keaka Tony. A i ka makahiki 1985, ua loaʻa iā Rita ka makana ʻo Sarah Siddons no kona komo ʻana i ke ola keaka o Chicago.
Hoʻomohala ʻoihana
Ma hope o ke komo ʻana i kekahi mau hana keaka, ua ʻike ʻia ke kaikamahine a kono ʻia e pāʻani i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo New Orleans Darling a me Singing in the Rain.
He liʻiliʻi nā kuleana, akā he mea nui iā Rita i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna huakaʻi. Mahalo iā lākou, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e "neʻe i luna o ka ʻoihana ʻoihana" me ka wikiwiki.
I ka manawa like me ke komo ʻana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ʻaʻole i haʻalele ʻo Rita i kāna hana ma Broadway. Ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka kaulana i waena o ka lehulehu, a ua hoʻomaka lākou e hilinaʻi iā ia me nā kuleana nui i nā hana keaka.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua lilo ʻo ia i lālā o ka moʻolelo TV a nā keiki ʻo The Electric Company, a ua komo pū ʻo ia i nā kau he nui o ka papahana Prison of Oz. I ka manawa like, i ka papahana mua, ʻaʻole i hoʻokani ke kaikamahine i hoʻokahi, akā i kekahi mau mea i ka manawa hoʻokahi.
Ua loaʻa iā Moreno nā makana koʻikoʻi i ka honua o ka ʻoihana hōʻike. I kēia manawa, ʻo ia wale nō ka ʻelele o ka wahine nāwaliwali i lanakila i nā makana āpau ma ke kahua o ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me ke keaka.
ʻAʻole i mālama ʻia ke kīwī a me ke kahua mele. Ua loaʻa pū ʻo ia i ka US Medal of Freedom no kāna hāʻawi ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka moʻomeheu ʻAmelika.
ʻIke ʻia o ka mea hana keaka
ʻAʻole loa i pilikia ʻo Rita no ka nele i ka hana. Ua loaʻa mau iā ia nā noi no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, pinepine i kāna ʻoihana he mau hana liʻiliʻi, a ʻo ka stereotype o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni he nui kokoke i kahi hōʻailona kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, nui nā alakaʻi i kono iā Rita e hoʻokomo i ke kuleana stereotyped o ke ola o nā wahine Sepania. ʻAʻole naʻe pēlā i nā manawa a pau.
Me Yul Brynner, ua ho'okani ke kaikamahine i ke ki'i "The King and I", mahalo i lilo ai'o ia i kaulana i ka honua. Ua hauʻoli ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me ka poʻe hoʻolohe.
A i ka makahiki 1961, no ke mele ʻo West Side Story, ua loaʻa iā Rita ka Oscar i kali lōʻihi ʻia. Ua hōʻike maikaʻi ʻo ia iā ia iho a lanakila i nā miliona o nā puʻuwai mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ma hope o kēlā, ʻaʻole i hoʻonui ʻia ka laulā o kāna mau kuleana, a ʻo ke kumu, ua kono ʻia ke kaikamahine i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni e pili ana i nā gangsters, ʻoiai ʻo ke alo o ka Oscar.
ʻO kēia ka mea i hoʻoholo ai ʻo Moreno e hoʻomaha a haʻalele i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni. He 7 mau makahiki ia, a ua hoʻi mai e komo i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni "The Night of the Next Day" me Marlon Brando. Ua ukali ʻia nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni: Poppy, Marlowe, ʻEhā Kau a me The Ritz.
Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Rita i kahi hana ma ke kīwī kīwī ʻo The Rockford Files, kahi i loaʻa ai iā ia kahi makana Emmy. A laila ua nui nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā moʻolelo i kaulana loa i waena o ka poʻe.
ʻO ke ola pilikino
Wahi a ka mea hana keaka, i ka makahiki 1950 ua hui ʻo ia me Marlon Brando, a ua mau kēia pilina i 8 mau makahiki. Aia kekahi hāpai ʻana, akā ʻo ka mea i koho ʻia ua koi ʻo ia i ka hāpai ʻana.
Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Rita e pepehi iā ia iho a ʻai i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, akā hiki i nā kauka ke hoʻopakele i ke ola o ka mea kaulana.
Ma hope o kēlā, aia kahi pilina me Elvis Presley lāua ʻo Anthony Quinn, a laila ua lilo ʻo Moreno i wahine a ke kauka lapaʻau kaulana ʻo Leonard Gordon. Ua hana ʻia ka hanana i ka makahiki 1965. He kaikamahine kā lāua ʻo Fernanda. ʻAʻole i hoʻopau ʻia kēia hui a hiki i kēia lā.
Hāʻawi ke kaikamahine i nā moʻopuna ʻelua. Mai ia manawa mai, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Rita e hopohopo nui ʻaʻole e pili ana i nā kuleana nui i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, akā no ka ʻohana a me ka mālama ʻana i nā mea aloha. ʻOiai ʻo ia, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia e ʻike ma ke kīwī a hauʻoli i nā mea pā!
