From: FREEZE FRAME: Rita Moreno Signs Memoir at Barnes & Noble

In RITA MORENO: A Memoir (Celebra Hardcover; March 2, 2013, $26.95), Moreno shares her remarkable story for the first time. With candor, humor, and real insight, Moreno opens up about her tumultuous childhood, her career rise from "utility ethnic" to award-winning star, her explosive romance with Marlon Brando (and less than explosive romance with Elvis Presley), the ups and downs of her relationships and career, and finally finding peace with herself, her "otherness," her choices, and her life. Just yesterday, Moreno celebrated the release of the book at Barnes & Noble with a special conversation led by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Check out a photo preview of the event below!
