Rita Moreno on Roe v. Wade

Actress Rita Moreno was fabulous as Anita in the original 1961 version of "West Side Story." She was a great dancer and read her lines well. Good thing she had lines, though, because her own words might have tanked the whole movie.

She's 90 now, and recently spoke to a reporter from Variety about the Supreme Court's ruling on abortion: 

"I'm depressed, but not completely surprised. I'm not shocked because I saw it coming, but I'm stunned. Unfair isn't a strong enough word, but it's unfair."

"I'm sorry, but I'm just shocked."
