Chita : a memoir
Rivera, Chita2023
Book
Here is the long-awaited and wildly entertaining memoir of the star of stage and screen, the legendary Chita Rivera - three-time Tony Award-winner, Kennedy Centers honoree, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was born Dolores Conchita Figueroa del Rivero - until the entertainment world renamed her. But Dolores - the irreverent side of the sensual, dark and ferocious Chita - was always present center stage, and was influential in creating some of Broadway most iconic and acclaimed roles, including Anita in 'West Side Story', the part that made her a star - Rosie in 'Bye Bye, Birdie', Velma in 'Chicago', and Aurora in 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'. Written in gratitude to her longstanding fans and with the hope that new generations may learn from her extraordinary experience, 'Chita' takes us behind the curtain to reveal the highs and lows of one extraordinary showbusiness career.
