Rita Moreno was once involved in a love triangle between Elvis and Marlon Brando. Moreno and the "On the Waterfront" actor dated on and off between 1954 to 1962 and she's been open about their tumultuous relationship over the years. While making an appearance on "The View" in December 2021, Moreno revealed that she once found lingerie at Brando's house, which left her "heartbroken" and "angry."
Shortly after the incident, Elvis's manager called Moreno and said that the singer was interested in meeting her. "'Elvis spotted you at the 20th Century Fox commissary, and he liked what he saw,'" Moreno recalled Parker telling her over the phone. "'He would like very much to meet you. Would you like to meet him?' And I thought of those panties, and I said, 'Yes, I would!'"
After accepting the star's invitation, Moreno said she dated Elvis "several times" despite finding him "boring." "He was sweet, but he was a country boy," Moreno said. In the end, her plan to make Brando jealous worked. "He started to throw chairs. He was so angry," she said. "It was wonderful."
