"George Chakiris famously played the angry gang leader Bernardo in the film version
of West Side Story (1961), for which he won an Oscar for best supporting actor. My
West Side Story is an insider's look at how this theatrical and cinematic landmark
evolved from a conversation in Jerome Robbins's Manhattan apartment between him, Arthur
Laurents, and Leonard Bernstein to ten Oscars, three Golden Globes, two Tony Awards,
and a Grammy. While also a memoir of Chakiris's long and distinguished career, the
emphasis is on West Side Story, which will be revived on Broadway. Here are profiles
of the film's stars and directors, from the "wonderful" Natalie Wood and "lovely"
Richard Beymer, to the mercurial Jerome Robbins and "passionate" Rita Moreno, with
whom Chakiris remains friends. "I know exactly where my gratitude belongs," Chakiris
writes, "and I still marvel at how, unbeknownst to me at the time, the joyful path
of my life was paved one night in 1949 when Jerome Robbins sat Leonard Bernstein and
Arthur Laurents down in his apartment and announced, 'I have an idea.'"
