Ariana DeBose's "West Side Story” role (5)

I believe the answer is:

anita

(Other definitions for anita that I've seen before include "-- Brookner, English novelist" , "-- Loos, US writer" , "- Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)" , "Woman" , "Female" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.
