Rita Moreno on her first experiences with racism

“West Side Story” star Rita Moreno fled Puerto Rico as a child to start a new life in the Bronx. It was there she first encountered the sting of racism. “When you're little, you're told you're not worth anything, you believe it,” she said. cbsn.ws/3MBaAcd

    I met her after working at a taping of One Day At A Time. One of my friends worked the show weekly and introduced me to her. She had a hat on. We briefly shook hands and said hello to one another. I hadn't been too familiar with her work over the years unless it from Cane in 2007, The Muppet Show or the Empty Nest Spinoff episode failure. She has so much energy! When she was on One Day At A Time, even into her late 80's, she was always full of energy!
