About this episode
Chelsea is joined by producer Kristina and “Welcome to El Barrio” Becca Ramos to break down the memoir of legendary actor Rita Moreno. From “West Side Story” to “One Day at a Time,” they unpack Rita’s journey from Puerto Rico to breaking barriers during Hollywood’s Golden Age, her road to EGOT status, and her 50-year-long toxic perfume commercial with Marlon Brando. Plus! Elvis returns, still bad in bed, the Muppets deliver an EMMY and DRINGO! Get your drink out because we have several DRINGOS coming your way.
