RITA MORENO 1981 INTERVIEW

In 1981 I was privileged to interview Rita Moreno. She was doing a benefit performance for the American Heart Association in Birmingham, Alabama.This is only the interview portion of the show; in the full half-hour program we included several of her song/dance numbers. It was such a big deal for me as I had always admired her and she was very gracious and friendly. This interview aired on UPTOWN & COUNTRY, a weekly series produced by The University of Alabama Center for Pubic Television and Radio. It was broadcast in January 1981 on Alabama Public Television.

For some reason, we did not have time to go back and re-shoot my questions, something I really regret. Nevertheless, I am grateful to have had this wonderful opportunity.
