My West Side Story is an insider's look at how this theatrical and cinematic landmark evolved from a conversation in Jerome Robbins's Manhattan apartment between him, Arthur Laurents, and Leonard Bernstein to ten Oscars, three Golden Globes, two Tony Awards, and a Grammy. While also a memoir of Chakiris's long and distinguished career, the emphasis is on West Side Story, which will be revived on Broadway. Here are profiles of the film's stars and directors, from the "wonderful" Natalie Wood and "lovely" Richard Beymer, to the mercurial Jerome Robbins and "passionate" Rita Moreno, with whom Chakiris remains friends. "I know exactly where my gratitude belongs," Chakiris writes, "and I still marvel at how, unbeknownst to me at the time, the joyful path of my life was paved one night in 1949 when Jerome Robbins sat Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents down in his apartment and announced, 'I have an idea.'"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Chakiris, George. 630 00 $a West Side story (Motion picture) 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Dancers $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Harrison, Lindsay, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210902012920.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EEFF97E80BB511ECB4F7DDF040ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
