美國(guó)電影演員麗塔·莫雷諾和阿里安娜·德博斯向奇塔·里維拉致敬，她是《西區(qū)故事》中安妮塔的原型
The character of Anita in West Side Story looms so large in the public imagination that Forbidden Broadway once wrote a parody song about a rumored rivalry between Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno. But now, Moreno is paying tribute to Rivera, who died Tuesday at the age of 91.
《西區(qū)故事》中安妮塔的角色在公眾的想象中如此重要，以至于禁止百老匯曾寫過一首模仿奇塔·里維拉和麗塔·莫雷諾之間傳聞競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的歌曲。但現(xiàn)在，莫雷諾正在向里維拉致敬，里維拉于周二去世，享年91歲。
Moreno portrayed Anita in the 1961 film adaptation of the musical and won an Oscar for her work, but it was Rivera who originated the role in the 1957 Broadway production.
莫雷諾在1961年由該音樂劇改編的電影中飾演安妮塔，并因此獲得奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)，但在1957年的百老匯舞臺(tái)劇中，是里維拉創(chuàng)造了這個(gè)角色。
"Chita Rivera is eternal," Moreno said in a statement shared with EW. "I remember seeing her for the first time in Mr. Wonderful and exclaiming, 'Oh my God, who is that?' When I found out that this astonishing creature was one of my people, I crowed with pride. Over the years, we were sometimes mistaken for each other, which I always viewed as a badge of honor. She was the essence of Broadway. As I write this, I am raising a glass to this remarkable woman and friend. Chita, amiga, Salud!"
莫雷諾在《娛樂周刊》的一份聲明中說:“奇塔·里維拉是永恒的。“我記得第一次在《了不起的先生》里看到她時(shí)，我驚呼，‘天哪，那是誰?’”當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)驚人的生物是我的同胞時(shí)，我驕傲地歡呼起來。多年來，我們有時(shí)會(huì)被誤認(rèn)為彼此，我一直把這視為一種榮譽(yù)。她是百老匯的精髓。在我寫這篇文章的時(shí)候，我要向這位杰出的女性和朋友舉杯。Chita, amiga, Salud!”
Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for her performance as Anita in the 2021 Steven Spielberg-helmed film, also honored the late Tony winner on Instagram. DeBose posted a photo of Rivera as Anita, as well as one of the two women embracing on the Tony Awards stage.

"She was a force," she wrote. "In truth she made me nervous. To be in her presence was to behold greatness. I always got the sense that she had great expectations, but none greater than the ones she held herself to…I am heartbroken and yet ever inspired as she showed so many of us what was possible. Rest well Queen. #ChitaRivera."
“她是一股力量，”她寫道。“事實(shí)上，她讓我很緊張。在她面前就像看到了偉大。我一直覺得她有很高的期望，但沒有比她對(duì)自己的期望更大的了……我很傷心，但也很受鼓舞，因?yàn)樗蛭覀冋故玖耸裁词强赡艿?。女王，安息吧? ChitaRivera。”

"CHITA RIVERA ," she wrote, alongside a photo of the two of them backstage. "My Mentor, My Friend, Our Goddess of Inspiration and Joy - Thank You. Every moment of your life has been a treasure of what is possible. I will miss touching you, but I will forever hear your laughter and hold that baton of power you tossed my way."

It wasn't only the Anitas who had praise for Rivera. Another Puerto Rican Broadway luminary, composer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, expressed his love for Rivera and the immensity of the loss. "The trailblazer for Puerto Rico on Broadway," he said in a statement shared with EW. "Originated Anita AND Rosie AND Velma Kelly AND The Spider Woman AND so many more iconic Broadway roles because she was an absolute original."

"When we filmed the diner scene in ttB (Tick, Tick...Boom!), she wasn’t available for the shoot dates, so I left a chair empty in the diner for those three days," Miranda reflected in his statement. "The whole shoot, people kept trying to move the chair or clear space and I’d have to say no, we’re GOING to get Chita, I don’t know how but we’re going to do it. 8 months later on our reshoots, she joined us and held court all day. It remains one of the all-time joys of my life. She was magnificent. She IS magnificent, not ready for the past tense just yet."
