I cannot even begin to chronicle all of Rita Moreno's accomplishments in a few short words, because she's pretty much done it all and been awarded for it. She is the first actress to win a Grand Slam (or whatever they call it). She's been awarded:
Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (West Side Story) 1962
Grammy for Best Album for Children (Electric Company) 1972
Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Play (The Ritz) 1975
Emmy Award for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program - 1977
I saw her in The King and I, Singing in the Rain, and The Ritz (one of my favorite movies of hers),
This video clip of her accepting her Academy Award just shows why we love her so much!
