12. There was only one real Puerto Rican in the film
The only actual Puerto Rican in the movie was Rita Moreno, who became the second Hispanic performer to win an Oscar. However, it didn’t make any big changes in her career. In 2008 she said: “Ha, ha. I showed them. I didn’t make another movie for seven years after winning the Oscar. Before ‘West Side Story,’ I was always offered the stereotypical Latina roles. The Conchitas and Lolitas in westerns. I was always barefoot. It was humiliating, embarrassing stuff. But I did it because there was nothing else. After ‘West Side Story,’ it was pretty much the same thing. A lot of gang stories.”
