Chita Rivera in The Marcus-Nelson Murders
In 1973, Chita played Josie Hopper in The Marcus-Nelson murders, a tv movie that served as the pilot for the series Kojak.
Lt. Theo Kojak believes that a black youth who confessed to the murder of two white girls was beaten and coerced by his police interrogators and is innocent of the crime. His investigation leads him many places, including the orbit of Teddy and Josie Hopper.
