   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

Rivera, Chita (1933– )

US actor and dancer. Perhaps her best-known role was as Anita in West Side Story in 1957. Already twice nominated for a Tony award, she won the award for the first time for The Rink in 1984 in which she co-starred with Liza Minnelli. Many considered her finest role to be in the Broadway production of Kiss of the Spider Woman in 1992.

She was born in Washington, DC. At the age of 16, she won a scholarship to Balanchine's School of American Ballet in New York City, made her professional debut in Call me Madam 1952, and had her first important part in Guys and Dolls (1953). She was awarded a Kennedy Center Honor in 2002.
