"I was close," Moreno said "God, I’m glad that’s in the past. "And I’m looking in the cabinet mirror all the time and saying, 'See? That wasn’t so difficult.' It was just horrific."īrando's assistant found Moreno in time to get help after Brando had asked the woman to check on her.
"And I finally opened the bottle and put I think about 10 pills in my hand and swallowed them. This is going to be your last breathing moment,'" she said. "It took a long time because I thought, 'If you’re going to do this, this is forever. She said she stared at a bottle of sleeping pills in Brando's bathroom medicine cabinet for almost a half hour before deciding to take them. I just can’t do this.' I felt so humiliated." "I was in his bed, and I thought, “I can’t do this to myself anymore. "He was doing 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' and he went to work," she said. Moreno said the deception was "the straw that broke the camel's back."

However, there was a dark side to her relationship with Brando that nearly ended in her death. Why is it sexy? Because I always think that a man who can be fast on his feet with humor can protect me." "And (Marlon) was really also a very interesting man. Aye-yay, you know, oh wow, that was incredible. "My husband was the love of my life," she said. The two had a magnetic attraction to one another that led to dramatic highs and lows. "Which of course is so amusing, because one loony telling the other, 'You’re sick, you know, get help.'" "And the interesting thing, it was Marlon Brando with whom I had an eight-year, on-off relationship, who said to me one day, 'You really need help. "The only thing that saved my life - I know it - was psychotherapy," she told Hoda. This wasn't a revenge suicide, but a consolation, an escape-from-pain death." In her Variety interview, she acknowledged, "I didn't understand that if I was going to kill this pathetic, sad, trod-upon Rita, the rest of Rita was also going to go with me." Interestingly, in 2017, she referred to Brando as the "lust of my life" and called her husband "the love of my life." Despite everything, she's thankfully still standing.Marlon Brando And Rita Moreno In 'Desiree' (20th Century-Fox / Getty Images) When Brando returned after filming, Moreno was done and tried to commit suicide. Shortly thereafter, Brando left to shoot "Mutiny on the Bounty" with his future wife Tarita Teriipaia and promptly fell in love with her. He apparently "wanted his money back" from the abortionist. When Moreno was hospitalized after the botched abortion, Marlon was once again seemingly heartless. She wrote (via New York Post), "To my shock and horror, Marlon immediately arranged for an abortion." "The Godfather" actor didn't even pick her up after the then-illegal procedure, tasking a friend to do it instead. In her 2011 autobiography, Moreno revealed things went downhill when she became pregnant with Brando's child. In fact, their last fling would impact her profoundly. "I knew no one could possibly make Marlon Brando more jealous," she said. However, she quickly returned to Brando because The King was "sweet but boring." But, it was the beginning of the end for Moreno and Brando. As payback, she started seeing Elvis Presley. In the time that they were together, he married twice and had children with his wives. Moreno described him as "a great lover - sensual, generous, delightfully inventive." But, she also recalled, "He broke my heart and came close to crushing my very spirit with his physical infidelities and. and I went into a full-body blush." It wasn't long before she gave in to Brando's "insatiable sexual needs," and they began their eight-year affair. The "West Side Story" actor was just 22 years old when she first laid eyes on Brando while working on "Désirée." In her memoir, "Rita Moreno," she wrote (via New York Post), "Just meeting him that first day sent my body temperature skyrocketing.
