Rita Moreno Reveals Marlon Brando Outshined Elvis Presley Between the Sheets

Renowned actress Rita Moreno recently disclosed that Marlon Brando surpassed Elvis Presley in terms of bedroom prowess.

While Presley was hailed as a stage king, Rita expressed that compared to Brando, he paled in comparison when it came to intimate encounters.

The 86-year-old shared during an interview with Wendy Williams that Brando excelled in various aspects, labeling him as the epitome of sensuality and prowess.

Their relationship spanned eight tumultuous years marked by on-again, off-again dynamics.

Despite Moreno’s desire to wed Brando, he remained averse to the idea.

Nevertheless, she continued their romantic involvement even after discovering his infidelities, leading to heartbreak on her part.

Recounting a poignant incident involving non-matching lingerie, Rita emotionally revealed her devastation upon realizing Brando’s unfaithfulness.

However, a surprising turn of events occurred the following day when she encountered Elvis Presley, who displayed interest in her.

Their subsequent meeting was orchestrated with the memory of the mysterious lingerie lingering in Moreno’s mind.

The aftermath of Rita’s encounter with Presley seemed to provoke a jealous response from Brando, who reportedly exhibited intense emotions by hurling chairs during their interactions.

Reflecting on her contrasting experiences with both Brando and Presley, Moreno likened her affair with the latter to that of a child compared to an experienced lover.

While acknowledging her husband Leonard Gordon as the love of her life, she described Brando as the embodiment of lust.

In her Berkeley Hills residence, Rita proudly displays photographs of both Gordon and Brando, attributing sentimental value to each image.

She elaborated on the significance of a particular photo capturing an intimate moment with Brando, highlighting its emotional resonance and the enduring memories associated with it.

Detailing her tumultuous past in her memoir ‘Rita Moreno: A Memoir,’ the accomplished artist delved into the challenges she faced, including personal struggles and pivotal life events such as an abortion and a suicide attempt.

Overcoming these hardships involved therapy, a hiatus from Hollywood, and a return to the New York stage, ultimately culminating in a transformative journey of self-discovery.

Marriage to Leonard in 1965 proved pivotal in Rita’s healing process, providing stability and support during her recovery.

Acknowledging their complementary dynamic, she emphasized the importance of their partnership in navigating life’s complexities.

Years later, Brando became an integral part of Moreno and Leonard’s family, forming a close bond with their daughter and leaving a lasting impression as “the man with the drums.”
