Rita Moreno is speaking out about the Hollywood “bitches” from her past she used as inspiration for her new role in “The Prank.” And one of them, TheWrap has learned, was super agent Sue Mengers. “[She] represented some huge stars and that was no accident. She was really brilliant,” Moreno told TheWrap.

“She’s gone now. She’s passed away, so I can say who. What a nasty woman,” Moreno said. Mengers was a top talent agent for Creative Management Associates throughout the 1960s to 1980s. Mengers represented the likes of Candice Bergen, Cher and Faye Dunaway, among countless others. Mengers died in 2011 at the age of 79.
