Rita Dolores Moreno (born December 11, 1931) is a Puerto Rican actress and singer. She is one of the twelve performers to have won all four major annual American entertainment awards, which include an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony, and was the second Puerto Rican to win an Oscar.
Moreno, nicknamed "Rosita", was born Rosa Dolores Alverío in Humacao, Puerto Rico, to Rosa María (née Marcano), a seamstress, and Francisco José "Paco" Alverío, a farmer. Moreno, whose mother was 17 at the time of her birth, was raised in nearby Juncos. Rita's mother moved to New York City in 1936, taking her daughter, but not her son, Rita's younger brother, Francisco. Rita would later adopt the surname of her first stepfather, Edward Moreno, Rosa Maria's second husband, by whom Rita would have a younger stepbrother, Dennis Moreno, who died in a car crash.
Rita began her first dancing lessons soon after arriving in New York with a Spanish dancer known as "Paco Cansino", who was a paternal uncle of film star Rita Hayworth. When she was 11 years old, she lent her voice to Spanish language versions of American films. She had her first Broadway role—as "Angelina" in Skydriftby the time she was 13, which caught the attention of Hollywood talent scouts.
Joan Alexandra Molinsky (June 8, 1933 – September 4, 2014), known as Joan Rivers, was an American actress, comedian, writer, producer, and television host noted for her often controversial comedic persona—where she was alternately self-deprecating or sharply acerbic, especially toward celebrities and politicians.
Rivers came to prominence in 1965 as a guest on The Tonight Show. Hosted by her mentor, Johnny Carson, the show established Rivers' comedic style. In 1986, with her own rival program, The Late Show with Joan Rivers, Rivers became the first woman to host a late night network television talk show. She subsequently hosted The Joan Rivers Show (1989–1993), winning a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host. Having become widely known for her comedic red carpet awards show celebrity interviews, Rivers co-hosted the E! celebrity fashion show Fashion Police From 2010 to 2014 and starred in reality series Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? (2011-2014) with daughter Melissa Rivers. She was the subject of the documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (2010).

Rock Hudson presenting Rita Moreno the Oscar® for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "West Side Story" at the 34th Academy Awards® in 1962.
Bernardo (George Chakiris) and Anita (Rita Moreno)are hot, hot, hot! Everyone in this film is excellent, but these two really stand out. No wonder they both got Oscars for the role. I also include the little drama before the song because I love seeing them bickering like an old married couple.

In 1981 I was privileged to interview Rita Moreno. She was doing a benefit performance for the American Heart Association in Birmingham, Alabama.This is only the interview portion of the show; in the full half-hour program we included several of her song/dance numbers. It was such a big deal for me as I had always admired her and she was very gracious and friendly. This interview aired on UPTOWN & COUNTRY, a weekly series produced by The University of Alabama Center for Pubic Television and Radio. It was broadcast in January 1981 on Alabama Public Television. For some reason, we did not have time to go back and re-shoot my questions, something I really regret. Nevertheless, I am grateful to have had this wonderful opportunity.
Rita Moreno opens up about her obsessive affair with Marlon Brando and her thoughts on her performance in "West Side Story." This interview won the national Gracie Award by the Alliance for Women in Media and was also a finalist for the National Arts and Entertainment Journalism Award by the Los Angeles Press Club. It originally aired in the program, "ON THE SCENE."
