¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Rita Moreno!
AKA Rosita Dolores Alverio.
Born December 11, 1931.
She was the first Puerto Rican actress to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She is most famous for her role as Anita in the 1961 musical movie West Side Story but she has also appeared on many TV shows such as The Electric Company, The Rockford Files and Oz as well as such movies as Night of the Following Day and such Broadway plays as The Ritz. She was the first -- and thus far, the only -- Hispanic to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. She also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush in 2004.
She has always been one of my favorite actresses and I am glad to see that she is still around to be appreciated.
