thread_title: Pending changes

message: I would like to request a change to be made under the 'Early Career' heading of the Rita Moreno article in order to include the challenges she faced as a Hispanic actress. I would like to add the following:
At the early stages of her career, Moreno came across various racial challenges – most evidently the stereotype of the “sexpot” cast among Hispanic actresses. During the early decades of Hollywood, Latinas were exploited for their beauty and sexuality, typecasting them as ‘spitfires’ in the industry. In March of 1954, Moreno was featured on the cover of Life Magazine with a caption reading “Rita Moreno: An Actresses' Catalog of Sex and Innocence.” This stereotype remained glued to the actress for decades as she continued to be offered demeaning and ‘exotic’ roles, such as Chanthini in Father Knows Best. It wasn’t until 1962, when she won her first Oscar for the role of Anita in West Side Story, that Moreno’s career took a turn. The award gave her the confidence to refuse degrading roles and with that confidence she established herself as a serious and successful entertainer, snatching all the big awards along the way – Emmy, Grammy, Tony and Oscar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabizzlekhan (talk • contribs)

thread_title: Challenges

message: Article states Moreno came to New York at age 5. Was she not an American citizen by birth in Puerto Rico? And failing that, for I don't know the status of Puerto Rico 80 years ago,did she not become an American citizen? If the answer is yes to either, why didn't the article address her as a Puerto Rican/American performer? Or merely as an American? Could have it been for fear of offending a certain group?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvbach1 (talk • contribs) 03:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I saw her this morning (04/10/13) on the Tavis Smiley Show, and she clearly pronounced her birth name multiple times as Alverio (accent on the second syllable). Therefore, the spelling "Alverío" (accent mark over the "i") in the article's right column is in error. 71.223.50.117 (talk) 08:31, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Just to be clear, even though The Hill is commonly used as a DC-related news source, I verified at WP:RSN that it was considered reliable, and it was cited repeatedly as reliable.

message: In this 60 Minutes interview last year, Moreno says, "I was raped by my agent when I was—I was either 16 or 17", and the interviewer (Bill Whitaker) adds: "She told us she was the family's breadwinner and had to keep working, so the insecure Rita Moreno felt she had no choice but to keep her agent."  I think this clearly belongs in the article, either in its own section or the Personal Life section. --174.95.81.219 (talk) 20:33, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Good to see that someone else is on the "notoriety" beat. But the sentence after the recent edit, She appeared in children's television series... makes it sound like she made a single appearance, when she was a regular on both shows.
