Rita Moreno recalled the scary time she almost lost her life when her ex-boyfriend Marlon Brando paid a doctor to interrupt her pregnancy.

The EGOT-winning actor said that now that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, she is “frightened” for everyone who won’t have access to safe abortions.The 90-year-old singer and actress told Variety that before abortion became legal when she found out, she was pregnant while dating Brando, the late actor arranged for her to see a doctor that “some friends” recommended. “He was a real doctor — Marlon paid him $500 — as opposed to something in a back alley,” she said.After the procedure, Moreno went home and began bleeding.

She rushed to the hospital and discovered that the doctor didn’t terminate the pregnancy. “I had what they told me was a ‘disturbed pregnancy,’” Moreno told the publication.“The doctor didn’t do anything really, except make me bleed.

In other words, he didn’t do it right. I didn’t know it then, but I could have died—what a mess.
