Episode notes

In this episode, we highlight Rita Moreno, living legend and ground breaker for the Latinx community. She's one of 16 people to have achieved the prestigious EGOT distinction: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award winner. 

We discuss her Oscar-winning role Anita in WEST SIDE STORY (1961), THE RITZ (1976) where she reprised her Tony award-winning role as Googie Gomez, and her TV roles in GOLDEN GIRLS (Season 2, Episode 26) and ONE DAY AT A TIME (Season 1, Ep 1 and Ep 2). 

Our Latinx Recommend Film Review: MARIA CANDELARIA (1944) starring Dolores del Río and Pedro Armendáriz and recommend our next film.
