West Side Story Part 2
Maria and Tony meet at the 'Dance at the Gym'
The 'balcony' scene on the fire-escape.
The song was 'Tonight' and what a night it would be.

Happy Birthday Alicia Witt 8/21
Alicis co-starred in 'Cybil' and was great this summer as a replacement in Law and Order Criminal Intent'.
Natlaie 1961: West Side Story Part 1
Although Natalie was Oscar nominated for 'Splendor in the Grass' that year her best chance would have been a nom for 'West Side Story'.
Either way she would (and did) lose. Nobody was beating Sophia Loren that year in 'Two Women' one of the greatest screen roles of all time.
In 'Splendor' Nat grew up.
In 'WSS' Natalie became a woman. There was no going back. She was now a true leading lady to be reckoned with. And in '62 and '63 she would again prove herself.
I also would note that no cinematographer has ever been as loving to Natalie as Daniel L. Fapp. Never before or again would her beauty so impress.
But now I give you 'West Side Story' Part 1.
