I hope she's retired by now. she probably put all three kids through college on her earnings in the bridal shop she and Anita owned.
No, we never completely forget your first love. Nor should we! I remember all of mine. Some fondly, some not so much! Some I regret ever having given the time of day to; and a couple I wish I could see again and kiss; or kill! -

I'm 36, so I'm not young but I don't have the most experience in the romantic department either.
I'd like to think Maria went on to have as good a life as possible and that she's found happiness at least in her kids and grandkids. That sort of thing. -

I think she stays in new York considering the fact that the whole reason they moved there was to find a better life and back then Puerto Rico wasn't exactly the best place to live. But however I'm sure she got over the whole thing eventually and finally married and had kids, she may even name one Anton.

Natalie Wood's death was sadand eerie. Nobody really knows how she died, despite the fact that the case was re-opened 3 years ago, at around the 50th-year Anniversary national re-release of the film

Well, she was living with her parents and they were still alive. I assume that like most people she mourned for a time and eventually got over the heartache. I doubt she married Chino since there seemed to be no chemistry between them. She probably married someone who wasn't in the story.

Yeah, well, that's where the source material would put her fate.
Of course she didn't kill herself due to the peculiar circumstances of Shakespear's play. But maybe Tony left her pregnant, and her family was so awful about it that she saw only one way out. Or maybe her family was horrible even if she didn't get pregnant, they abused her or planned to send her back to Puerto Rico - just because she got with a no-good hood who wasn't even a Puerto Rican no-good hood!

Nobody knows what really happened to Maria, but I can't imagine that she'd want to marry Chino after he'd killed Tony, the guy that Maria really loved. Who can tell, however. In real life, people date and even marry criminals all the time.
Maria and Anita just went on with their lives, after mourning for their dead lovers, working in the Bridal Shop for several more years, before deciding to go back to school so that they could change careers. Maria decides to go into the health professions, goes back to school and becomes a medical secretary at a large NYC Hospital. Anita goes back to school, to a nursing school in NYC, becoming a Registered Nurse, and landing a job at a large NYC hospital, the same hospital that she'd attended nursing school in.
You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
