Screen legend Rita Moreno has jumped to the defense of Lin-Manuel Miranda, stating the criticism he has received following the release of In the Heights “really hurts” her.
Moreno has recently worked with Lin-Manuel Miranda on her documentary Rita Moreno: Just A Girl Who Decided To Go For It, the story of her rise from being an unknown girl in Puerto Rico to the Broadway stage and Hollywood glory.
“It’s like you can never do right, it seems,” Rita Moreno said.
Miranda has already apologized to anyone who feels that the movie did not managed to portray the right representation.
