Rita Moreno, 91, playfully flirts With hunk Oscar Isaac
Is Hollywood Legend Rita Moreno at 91 New York’s Best Cougar?
We heard The West Side Story icon attended Tuesday night’s show of The new Broadway sensation, The Sign In Sidney Brustein’s Window. (She played The female lead In The original 1964 run.)
We are told that after The show, she befriended The stars of The new production – Star Wars actor Oscar Isaac and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisels star Rachel Brosnahan – over champagne In The lobby of The James Earl Jones Theatre.
Stage spies say Moreno marveled at The pair’s on-stage chemistry, calling them “red-hot” and “carnal”, before asking Isaac if he was “single and likes older women”.
Then The juvenile EGOT winner told him, as we were told, “I Have a soft spot for brooding actors. You know, I dated Marlon Brando.
Isaac, who Is married With two children, objected: “Brando Is a very difficult actor to follow.”
There’s a nice story there too.
Moreno, who met Brando when she was 22 on The set of The 1954 Napoleon biopic Désirée, told Variety last year: “He was extraordinary In many ways, but he was a bad guy. He was a bad man when it came to women. I was a completely different person then. I had all The makings of a doormat.
She added: “I could read him like a book and that’s why he loved me and that’s why he treated me badly In so many ways. I tried to end my Life With pills at His house. That’s what I tried to do.”
Maybe she should avoid brooding actors for her next fling anyway.
The show opened at BAM earlier this year but moved to Broadway at record speed.
