I like her as George Chakiris. Others prefer her as Rita Moreno. (Hey, different strokes for different folks.) She also plays Russ Tamblyn and Natalie Wood.
In this gender-bending, cross-dressing, stage-hogging, scene-stealing, performance-arting, one-woman show-ing, television tour-de-force, Cher does it all. Never a shrinking violet, she bursts forth as Tony/Maria/Bernardo/Anita in a West Side Story one-stop-shopping trip.
Best “A Boy Like That” ever!
With respects to Irene Sharaff, costume designer of West Side Story.
a big artsmeme thanks to jeff burbank!
I love Cher doing Westside Story. I heard that some idiot said she couldn’t act. What nonsense.
Thank you for printing the article in defense of Michael Jackson. It certainly wasn’t a good idea to let children stay with him for overnights or for lengthy periods of time. The parents who permitted their children to do so were not responsible parents.
I don’t know what to think about Michael but I hope other friends of Micheal will speak out to defend him.
Just fantastic! Thank you for this beautiful start to the day!
