En esta l???cida autobiograf???a, Rita Moreno nos hace part???cipes de su extraordinario periplo desde los sencillos inicios de su temprana ni???ez en Puerto Rico hasta que se convirti??? en una leyenda de Hollywood y en una de las pocas artistas, y la ???nica hispana, que ha ganado un Oscar, un Grammy, un Tony, y dos Emmy. A la edad de cinco a???os, Rosita Dolores Alverio, nacida en la id???lica isla de Puerto Rico, se embarc??? en una borrascosa traves???a por mar con su madre, que la llev??? hasta los turbulentos barrios del Bronx, donde descubri??? que la danza, el canto y la actuaci???n ser???an el escape de su accidentada ni???ez. A sus trece a???os, debut??? en Broadway y poco despu???s, en los a???os dorados de la meca del cine, se traslad??? a Hollywood donde trabaj??? junto a estrellas de la talla de Gary Cooper, Yul Brynner, y Ann Miller. Cuando fue descubierta por Louis B. Mayer de MGM, el propio magnate declar??? "Ella parece una Elizabeth Taylor hispana". Gene Kelly la eligi??? para interpretar el papel de Zelda Zanders en Singin' in the Rain, que la lanz??? a la fama y a su actuaci???n ganadora del Oscar, en West Side Story. Pero durante mucho tiempo Moreno fue encasillada en el estereotipo de "vers???til nativa" un rol que le fue casi imposible eludir. Aqu???, por primera vez Rita reflexiona sobre su prolongada lucha por superar las barreras raciales y sexuales de Hollywood. Estudia a fondo la vulnerable jovencita que ocultaba su glamorosa fachada y cu???nto le cost??? encontrar su lugar en el mundo. Habla con franqueza de su relaci???n con Elvis Presley, de sus encuentros con Howard Hughes, y del apasionado romance con Marlon Brando que la llev??? hasta un intento de suicidio. Y nos ense???a los bemoles de un matrimonio "perfecto" y las incomparables alegr???as de la maternidad. Impregnada del brillante desparpajo y la profunda perspicacia de Rita Moreno, esta autobiograf???a es el deslumbrante retrato de una estrella del teatro y el cine que anhelaba convertirse en lo que realmente es ella... y lo logr???.
