THR: "Asked about criticisms of *In The Heights* over a lack of dark-skinned Latinos among its core cast, Moreno, 89, defended the film's creator/producer Lin-Manuel Miranda" (also an exec of a docu about her career débuting at Sundance) "''I’m simply saying, can’t you just wait a while and leave it alone?'"
She issued a later statement, in part: "I was clearly dismissive of black lives that matter in our Latin community. It is so easy to forget how celebration for some is lament for others." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/rita-moreno-says-im-disappointed-in-myself-following-in-the-heights-colorism-defense-1234966068/ (link) B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
