- Rita, she is a
diva, girl (laughs)

00:03.303 --> 00:05.705 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
in the best sense of the word.

00:05.705 --> 00:08.008 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- Rita Mareno is an original.

00:08.008 --> 00:09.442 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
She can't help but be that.

00:10.877 --> 00:13.046 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
- She was at Latina, like
me, and she made me feel

00:13.046 --> 00:15.215 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
like women could do
anything because she did.

00:15.215 --> 00:18.118 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- I may be petite, but
I'm as big as your get.

00:18.118 --> 00:20.153 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(crowd cheering)

00:20.153 --> 00:24.824 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- Rita Moreno is
a quintessential
American success story.

00:24.824 --> 00:26.059 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
(crowd cheering and applauding)

00:26.059 --> 00:28.094 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
As an EGOT winner, who's
won an Emmy, a Grammy,

00:28.094 --> 00:30.563 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
an Oscar, and a Tony
the biggest challenge

00:30.563 --> 00:34.534 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in telling Rita Moreno's
story is to try to encapsulate

00:34.534 --> 00:36.469 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
her incredible career.

00:36.469 --> 00:39.072 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
♪ Hey ♪

00:39.072 --> 00:40.340 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(gentle music)

00:40.340 --> 00:42.308 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- I made a promise to
myself that I was going

00:42.308 --> 00:46.046 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
to go through with a
documentary, that I would be

00:46.046 --> 00:46.846 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
as truthful as I
could possibly be.

00:49.182 --> 00:52.752 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
- She really wanted to do
a documentary that talks

00:52.752 --> 00:57.157 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
more about who she really
is and her insecurities.

00:57.157 --> 00:59.659 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Through Rita, we get to
understand what it means

00:59.659 --> 01:02.796 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to be a woman in Hollywood,
when it was normal

01:02.796 --> 01:06.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to be harassed as a woman,
and it was normal to be viewed

01:06.633 --> 01:08.334 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
as a second class.

01:08.334 --> 01:12.705 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- I managed to put up
with so much bad behavior

01:12.705 --> 01:14.974 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
on the part of many men.

01:14.974 --> 01:18.511 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's a damaging thing,
rage, because it'll stop me.

01:18.511 --> 01:21.247 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(dramatic music)

01:21.247 --> 01:23.349 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And I don't want to be stopped.

01:23.349 --> 01:25.685 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(crowd cheering)

01:25.685 --> 01:28.755 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- [Michael] When you learn her
story and all the obstacles

01:28.755 --> 01:32.826 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
she conquered, what
comes out is inspiration.

01:32.826 --> 01:35.261 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- I think it's important
to know her story

01:35.261 --> 01:39.032 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because it shows how
much we have accomplished

01:39.032 --> 01:42.635 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
as women through her and
through other women like her.

01:44.104 --> 01:47.307 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- If we thought there was no
place for us in this world

01:47.307 --> 01:48.908 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
of the arts that we
wanted to get into,

01:48.908 --> 01:51.444 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
we could look up and
see Rita and say, okay,

01:51.444 --> 01:52.645 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
well she could do it.

01:52.645 --> 01:54.013 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
How close can I get?

01:54.013 --> 01:56.549 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
