Rita Moreno dazzles in her gorgeous premiere look at the premiere of West Side Story held at Rose Theater, Jazz at Lincoln Center on Monday night (November 29) in New York City.
The 89-year-old actress was joined on the red carpet with fellow original stars Russ Tamblyn and Bert Michaels, who played Riff and Snowboy, respectively, in the 1961 movie.
Russ brought along his daughter, actress Amber Tamblyn, to the premiere.
“I wasn’t aware of that,” Rita said on the red carpet about it being the film’s 60th anniversary. “Really, how amazing. It’s nothing but amazing tonight. That is what this night is about.”
She also spoke about being an executive producer on the new film, saying that “the reason I got credit for executive producer was that he [Steven Spielberg] was taking everything that he needed and I was there to help out.”
Rita added, “I have opinions and some are not always greeted with enthusiasm but that’s what producers do. It’s an amazing experience.”
West Side Story will be out on December 10.
FYI: Rita wore a Michael Kors Collection look.
