美国电影演员丽塔·莫雷诺和阿里安娜·德博斯向奇塔·里维拉致敬，她是《西区故事》中安妮塔的原型
The character of Anita in West Side Story looms so large in the public imagination that Forbidden Broadway once wrote a parody song about a rumored rivalry between Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno. But now, Moreno is paying tribute to Rivera, who died Tuesday at the age of 91.
《西区故事》中安妮塔的角色在公众的想象中如此重要，以至于禁止百老汇曾写过一首模仿奇塔·里维拉和丽塔·莫雷诺之间传闻竞争的歌曲。但现在，莫雷诺正在向里维拉致敬，里维拉于周二去世，享年91岁。
Moreno portrayed Anita in the 1961 film adaptation of the musical and won an Oscar for her work, but it was Rivera who originated the role in the 1957 Broadway production.
莫雷诺在1961年由该音乐剧改编的电影中饰演安妮塔，并因此获得奥斯卡奖，但在1957年的百老汇舞台剧中，是里维拉创造了这个角色。
"Chita Rivera is eternal," Moreno said in a statement shared with EW. "I remember seeing her for the first time in Mr. Wonderful and exclaiming, 'Oh my God, who is that?' When I found out that this astonishing creature was one of my people, I crowed with pride. Over the years, we were sometimes mistaken for each other, which I always viewed as a badge of honor. She was the essence of Broadway. As I write this, I am raising a glass to this remarkable woman and friend. Chita, amiga, Salud!"
莫雷诺在《娱乐周刊》的一份声明中说:“奇塔·里维拉是永恒的。“我记得第一次在《了不起的先生》里看到她时，我惊呼，‘天哪，那是谁?’”当我发现这个惊人的生物是我的同胞时，我骄傲地欢呼起来。多年来，我们有时会被误认为彼此，我一直把这视为一种荣誉。她是百老汇的精髓。在我写这篇文章的时候，我要向这位杰出的女性和朋友举杯。Chita, amiga, Salud!”
Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for her performance as Anita in the 2021 Steven Spielberg-helmed film, also honored the late Tony winner on Instagram. DeBose posted a photo of Rivera as Anita, as well as one of the two women embracing on the Tony Awards stage.
阿丽亚娜·德博斯因在2021年由史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格执导的电影中饰演安妮塔而获得奥斯卡奖，她也在Instagram上向已故的托尼奖得主致敬。德博斯发布了一张里维拉扮演安妮塔的照片，以及在托尼奖舞台上拥抱的两位女性之一。
"She was a force," she wrote. "In truth she made me nervous. To be in her presence was to behold greatness. I always got the sense that she had great expectations, but none greater than the ones she held herself to…I am heartbroken and yet ever inspired as she showed so many of us what was possible. Rest well Queen. #ChitaRivera."
“她是一股力量，”她写道。“事实上，她让我很紧张。在她面前就像看到了伟大。我一直觉得她有很高的期望，但没有比她对自己的期望更大的了……我很伤心，但也很受鼓舞，因为她向我们展示了什么是可能的。女王，安息吧。# ChitaRivera。”
Another Anita, Debbie Allen, who earned a Tony nomination for her take on the part in a 1980 Broadway revival, also penned a tribute to Rivera. "CHITA RIVERA ," she wrote, alongside a photo of the two of them backstage. "My Mentor, My Friend, Our Goddess of Inspiration and Joy - Thank You. Every moment of your life has been a treasure of what is possible. I will miss touching you, but I will forever hear your laughter and hold that baton of power you tossed my way."
另一位安妮塔的演员黛比·艾伦也写了一篇向里韦拉致敬的文章。黛比·艾伦因出演1980年百老汇翻拍的安妮塔一角而获得托尼奖提名。“CHITA RIVERA，”她写道，旁边是两人在后台的照片。“我的导师，我的朋友，我们的灵感和快乐女神——谢谢您。你生命中的每一刻都是对一切可能的宝藏。我会怀念触摸你的感觉，但我会永远听到你的笑声，永远握着你扔给我的权力棒。”
It wasn't only the Anitas who had praise for Rivera. Another Puerto Rican Broadway luminary, composer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, expressed his love for Rivera and the immensity of the loss. "The trailblazer for Puerto Rico on Broadway," he said in a statement shared with EW. "Originated Anita AND Rosie AND Velma Kelly AND The Spider Woman AND so many more iconic Broadway roles because she was an absolute original."
并不是只有安妮塔对里维拉赞不绝口。另一位波多黎各百老汇名人、作曲家兼明星林-曼努埃尔·米兰达表达了他对里维拉的爱，以及失去里维拉的巨大损失。“波多黎各在百老汇的开拓者，”他在与娱乐周刊分享的一份声明中说。“她是安妮塔、罗茜、威尔玛·凯利、蜘蛛女以及其他许多百老汇标志性角色的始创者，因为她绝对是原创的。”
Miranda also shares a connection to West Side Story. He worked with original lyricist Stephen Sondheim to translate song lyrics and some dialogue into Spanish for a 2009 Broadway revival. He also worked with Rivera on his 2021 feature film directorial debut Tick, Tick... Boom! in which Rivera joined other Broadway legends for the "Sunday" number.
米兰达也和《西区故事》有关。他曾与原作者斯蒂芬·桑德海姆合作，将歌词和一些对话翻译成西班牙语，用于2009年百老汇的复兴。他还与里维拉合作了2021年的故事片导演处女作《Tick, Tick…》繁荣!里维拉和其他百老汇传奇人物一起出演了《星期日》。
"When we filmed the diner scene in ttB (Tick, Tick...Boom!), she wasn’t available for the shoot dates, so I left a chair empty in the diner for those three days," Miranda reflected in his statement. "The whole shoot, people kept trying to move the chair or clear space and I’d have to say no, we’re GOING to get Chita, I don’t know how but we’re going to do it. 8 months later on our reshoots, she joined us and held court all day. It remains one of the all-time joys of my life. She was magnificent. She IS magnificent, not ready for the past tense just yet."
米兰达在他的声明中说:“当我们在ttB拍摄餐厅的场景时，她没有时间拍摄，所以那三天我在餐厅里空了一把椅子。”“整个拍摄过程中，人们一直试图移动椅子或腾出空间，我不得不说不，我们要去找奇塔，我不知道怎么做，但我们要去做。”8个月后，在我们的重拍中，她加入了我们，整天都在为我们辩护。这一直是我生活中的一大乐趣。她是伟大的。她很了不起，还没准备好用过去时。”
He concluded: "My heart is with everyone in Chita’s galaxy of family and friends. We’ll be blasting WSS and Bye, Bye Birdie and Chicago and SO MUCH MUSIC, because she left us so much. Gracias, Chita. Alabanza."
他总结道:“我的心与中国的家人和朋友在一起。我们将播放WSS，拜拜，小鸟，芝加哥和这么多音乐，因为她给我们留下了这么多。谢谢,契塔。Alabanza。”
