Bye. How much fun to catch Rita on her birthday. Oh my God, that's a wiser than me first. And obviously she's experienced so much in her life.

I just spoke with Rita Moreno, who is 93 years old, if you can even believe what I'm telling you. She's incredible. Is she still dancing like crazy? She doesn't dance as much as she did because her knees are kind of shot, as she says. However, she's sharp as a tack. She says she's still searching for nouns and things, but she's still working. She gets out there. I mean, it's quite remarkable.

Oh, what year was it on Broadway? I'm going to guess that it was in the late 50s. I don't know that for sure, but I would guess that because the movie... of West Side Story came out in 1961. Right.
