Chita Rivera, who died on Tuesday at the age of 91, was known for her extraordinary artistry.
Her Anita in the landmark 1957 Broadway production of “West Side Story”?
Rose in the hit “Bye Bye Birdie,” from 1960?
Only in 1969 did Rivera make her feature-film debut, in “Sweet Charity,” almost two decades after her Broadway debut.
Thankfully, we have variety shows, TV specials and unofficial fan videos to help us patch together a compelling video portrait.
