Yes, I suppose we'll never know. Apparently there was some controversy over her selection because Carol Lawrence who played the stage version, who's even less Puerto Rican looking, was overlooked. But she had only played TV roles up to then, so I can't see how she might have had real drawing power. Also, Natalie Wood did not like the actor who played Tony, preferring that her then boyfriend Warren Beatty would have gotten the part. That would have been two movies they would have been in back-to-back that year - Splendor in the Grass and West Side Story. But getting Beatty would have probably broken the budget. imdb.com
