Rita Moreno, born December 11, 1931, is an actress, dancer, and singer. Moreno played a major role in the PBS children’s program The Electric Company from 1971 to 1977.
Hey, you guys!” she yelled, the show’s opening phrase. She played Millie the Helper, Pandora, a mischievous youngster, and Otto, a director with a very bad temper, in the show.
Moreno co-starred with Jack Nicholson, Candice Bergen, Ann-Margret, and Art Garfunkel in Mike Nichols’ 1971 film Carnal Knowledge.
She portrays Louise, a prostitute Jack Nicholson playing cards in the movie. The movie did well with critics.
Did Rita Moreno have a child for Marlon Brando?
From 1954 to 1962, Moreno and Marlon Brando had a sporadic relationship. She revealed in her account that Brando caused her to become pregnant and that he set up an abortion.
She had to be rushed to the hospital to have the fetus surgically removed after returning home and bleeding out while it was dying inside her.
Brando and his co-star from Mutiny on the Bounty fell in love shortly after, but instead of seeing her again, Moreno attempted suicide by taking too many of Brando’s sleeping pills.
