Catherine Zeta-Jones has called for the lights to be dimmed on Broadway in memory of Tony-winning star Chita Rivera, who has died at the age of 91.

The pioneering dancer, singer and actress, died “peacefully” on Tuesday in New York after a brief illness, her daughter Lisa Mordente confirmed in a statement given to the PA news agency.
