Rita Moreno admits she dated Elvis Presley 'to get even with Marlon Brando'

Rita Moreno is already in rare EGOT company, and she just solidified her GOAT status.

"I dated Elvis because I was trying to get even with Marlon Brando," the West Side Story star wrote in first-person essay for Esquire's "What I've Learned" series. "I found somebody's lingerie in Marlon's house one time, and I was just devastated."

The 89-year-old went on to note that her revenge tactic worked, as Brando "got insanely angry" and "was throwing chairs." She also dished on what Presley was like: "Mind you, I had been going with Marlon for quite some time, so I said [Elvis] was a bit dull. He was a sweet country boy. He was nice and he was boring. I don't know what else to tell you."

The article is packed with similar gems, including Moreno's philosophies for a great sex life and therapy as well as the One Day at a Time reboot.

Moreno's documentary, Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided To Go For It, is set for a June 18 release. Watch the trailer, which dropped yesterday (April 22) below.
