"I was a contract-player at Fox. And so was France Nuyen. Beautiful beautiful girl. Who was part-Vietnamese and part-French. Who would really have been--it would seem to me--more right physically for it. She was just breathtaking. And in fact, I thought she would get it. But maybe it's because she didn't have any musical background. Cause I know she screen-tested for it. I was a contract-player and I got it. No--she was NOT a contract-player at the time. That's the other reason. They tried to use their people." [Rita Moreno]
France Nuyen also played Auntie Ying-Ying in The Joy Luck Club movie, she is breathtaking.

No, the film they made together was "The Night of the Following Day" -- a very bad movie that has some eccentric supporters.
Saw it on TV about 30 or more years ago; Brando wears a goofy blond wig and Moreno is totally luscious.

Actually the part was given to Dorothy Dandridge, but she changed her mind, that's why they cast Rita Moreno. I call it destiny, she met Jerome Robbins and she later won a oscar for my favorite movie West Side Story.

she's right, france nuyen was very beautiful. it's nice to see a legend like rita moreno recognize other beautiful stars of her time. oh by the way, rita moreno was also a knock-out.
