About this episode
The first Latina ever to win an Oscar and one of only 16 EGOTs ever reflects on the stereotypical casting and abusive behavior she encountered as a Hollywood starlet, working on classics like 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'West Side Story' and why she is convinced that the latter's upcoming remake — in which she appears and on which she was an EP — will avoid the pitfalls that undid another recent movie musical about Latinos in America, 'In the Heights.'
