“By virtue of being a Black woman, that makes it a different portrayal, because my physical manifestation has to inform this particular version,' Ariana DeBose says about her role as Anita in the new 'West Side Story.'
DeBose grew up with a white mother and an Afro Puerto Rican father in North Carolina, a place where she lacked access to her Latin culture, she said.
“You could look like Rita, you could look like me, you can be born into the surroundings that allow you to experience the music, to experience the food, or perhaps you were not,” she said. “There are many ways to be Latino in this country — as a biracial Afro Latina, I have a very mixed identity. I also identify as queer.”Moreno has praised DeBose's performance in Spielberg's remake. “She’s a beautiful Anita in the movie,” Moreno said.
“She’s just such a long way from Anita, who is volatile and has an opinion and all that. She does too, Valentina, but her opinions are stated in a more subtle way,” Moreno said. Valentina also serves as Tony’s voice of reason.
