Okay, moving on to the dancing ladies list:
6. Rita Moreno

Favorite dance: "America" from West Side Story
I actually prefer "Dance at the Gym," but this song better displays Rita's high-kicking awesomeness (for lack of a better description). This is really the only movie in which I've seen Rita Moreno dance... and I almost wonder if she should be lower on the list for that factor. But she really is an incredible dancer, especially in this movie. I'm afraid I don't have much else to say about her. I think she's an amazing actress and I wish she could get more attention for her talent.

Rita Moreno dances briefly with Ricardo Montalban in LATIN LOVERS. They dance very well together.
ReplyDeleteYou can see her stylized dancing as Zelda at R.F.'s party in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. It's a hoot. She kind of dances around her date, who stands still.
