About Tony Mordente

Tony Mordente (born December 3, 1935) is an American dancer, choreographer, actor, and television director.

Rudetsky said the actors told him that the Broadway cast (of West Side Story) had specific instructions that the Sharks and Jets were not allowed to fraternize. "Well, not only did [Rivera] fraternize with a Jet (Tony Mordente), they wound up having a daughter (Lisa Mordente)! Chita remembers seeing Tony in rehearsal and feeling like he literally flew."[1][2]
