Actress Rita Moreno recently sat down with Wendy Williams to talk about her famous love affairs with Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley, and she happily dished about their sex lives.
When asked specifically about Brando, the 86-year-old said, “He slayed me good. He was the king of everything. Eeeeeeverything.”
She continued, “He was the king of movies … he was really one of the most sexual men on Earth. It was one of those very tempestuous love affairs. It lasted eight years, on and off, on and off, on and off.”
Brando, of course, had affairs with both women and men, and was pretty open about his bisexuality.
How about we take this to the next level?

In 1976, he told his biographer Gary Carey, “Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed.”
“I have never paid much attention to what people think about me.”
Moreno also told Williams that she had wanted to marry Brando, but that he wasn’t into the idea. Still, she kept going to bed with him regardless.
He was just that good.
Unlike Elvis Presley, who Moreno says she hooked up with once in an effort to make Brando jealous.
It all started when she found another woman’s underwear at Brando’s place.
“I found some lingerie that was not mine. I just went home devastated, weeping, and crying,” she recalled. But then “something wonderful happened the next day.”

Moreno says she ran into Elvis, who “liked what he saw” and asked her out. The two hooked up that night. When Brando found out, he was livid.
“That man threw chairs,” Moreno revealed. “It was wonderful!”
Sex with Elvis, on the other hand, wasn’t so wonderful. She much preferred Brando over the rock-and-roller.
“That’s like a 2-year-old and the king,” Moreno said.
Watch.

This woman has no concept of privacy.

What privacy? She’s talking about her own life and the other person is not alive. So please explain your comment.

what about Paul Newman and Steve McQueen? Rita??? And who wasn’t gay that everyone thought was, Danny Kaye. Rock Hudson sure was, they kept that a secret. You can’t do that now. OR can you? Lot’s of gay stuff and the stars then and now. Still today. But people are afraid to come out. It’s getting better.

DC Guy: Exactly. The other people are dead so there is no way they can corroborate. Unless Brandi “slayed” her in public, one would assume it was a private matter. For all we know it’s just the idle ramblings of an addled brained 86 yo. A person of class doesn’t kiss and tell.

Rita Moreno is a dancer for the ages and an Oscar winning actress. She deserves to be named in your headline and not simply referred to as “Marlon Brando’s former flame”.
Mandrake
Totally agree! I don’t think the author of this article really knew who she was. Likely too young.
chris33133
Exactly my reaction.
Low Country Boy
Exactly! Talk about denigrating a legend. Sickening to reduce her to Brando’s “piece of ass.”
DCguy
I Think they were hoping we would think the former flame was a man and so would click.
okbye
I assumed they were talking about a man when I clicked on it.
I agree, Rita Moreno is a big enough name to most people to be the headline.
DuMaurier
From that stupid headline I thought it was about some unknown, aging himbo/bimbo looking for a shot of attention with a possibly true but dubious claim about sleeping with Brando. This is RITA MORENO, you Queerty doofs! You actually didn’t think HER name would attract clicks on a gay website???? (Yeah, Brando is enough, but still)
nunya
Low Country Boy, seems she denigrated herself to just a piece of ass. You get the respect you deserve.

She’s more than just an Oscar-winning actress. She has an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Ms. Moreno is in the elite EGOT clasd.
nunya
And yet all she chose to do was brag about Brando fucking her.
radiooutmike
Dude, it’s not like she’s talking about her sex life now. And even of she did, who cares? We should be so lucky to have sex when we are 86 or older.

Marlon Brando was a hot man back in the day; I’d have done him too.

She meant Brando focked HARD!!
TimothyBeauchamp
Yes, but she’s a lady… She can’t say things like that, but we can!

why would they be expected to know, someone’s celebrity status isn’t history.

Rita Moreno, Chita Rivera, same thing!

Not even close

I got to meet Rita Moreno in Washington, DC when my partner and I testified before congress for Matthew Shephard / James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act. She went to a Human Rights Campaign party, and we met her there. She is a magical in person. When you’re in her presence, one can’t help but be struck with the idea, “Wow, she is really a fantastic human being.” It is obvious why she is so successful. You don’t forget her. As far as Marlon Brando is concerned, he was one of my first crushes! Gawd that man was hot! Good for her. I would have loved to have been James Dean, or one of his lover boys. Girl!

Rita Moreno … Chita Rivera same thing …. who writes such racist crap?
I challenge anyone to not see that as saying ‘all latinas look alike,
or all whites look the same. How crash and racist in any forum!
Tombear, wake the H*** up!

Well said Stephen. Although…I could say “a redneck from Mississippi or a redneck from Alabama, same thing!”
