"Being an only child means that we poured all our love in [Fernanda]," she told Grand Magazine. "I keep thinking I can't possibly love any more than I do now, and I do."

Rita was once romantically involved with actor Marlon Brando.

Rita, whose career has spanned more than 70 years, was married to Leonard from 1965 until his demise in 2010.

Rita reiterated that she wouldn't like to get married. The actress said that she didn't feel free in her marriage.

"I come from an era where you are supposed to obey the man in the family. I didn't know how to write a check for the longest time," she added.

Rita was once romantically involved with actor Marlon Brando. However, their relationship was tumultuous because of his infidelity.

Rita achieved the rare feat of winning the four major North American entertainment awards — Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Her notable films include "Singin' in the Rain" and "The King and I."
