“The Hispanic community in the United States has barely budged and I’m really upset about that,” says Rita Moreno.

With an artistic career spanning seven decades in the United States, the prominent actress and singer of Puerto Rican origin Rita Moreno has seen how the presence of Latinos in the entertainment world has changed in that country.

Unfortunately, she feels that there is not much to celebrate.

The 89-year-old star, who won an Oscar in 1962 for her role as Anita in “West Side Story,” she says “the Hispanic community in the United States hardly he has advancedwhen it comes to their presence on the screens.

“And since he’s barely advanced, I’m thinking that at my age, I’m not going to see a real change. We cannot let Jennifer Lopez be the only representative of the Hispanic community“he told the BBC.
