 * She was very poor. Her and her mother shared a bed. It was an old iron bed with a sagging mattress. Whenever you would turn on the lights, hundreds of cockroaches would scatter.
 * When Rosa Dolores Alverío was 5, she and her mother left Puerto Rico and moved to Spanish Harlem, where they shared a tenement apartment with an aunt and other relatives she had.
 * In 1961, after many career struggles, she was the first Hispanic to win an Oscar- the best actress for her role in as Anita in West Side Story. It gave her the sense of self-worth she had lacked, a boost which, fortunately or not, left her with the courage to say no to the demeaning roles she was offered.
 * She didn't make another movie for seven years after winning the Oscar.
 * Everyone told her winning the Oscar was a jinx.
