CEILING BREAKER: RITA MORENO

Feeling Rebloggy
Lena Horne and Rita Moreno

From Vintage Black Glamour

"Lena Horne and then “starlet” Rita Moreno in 1953 after her performance at Hollywood’s famous Cocoanut Grove nightclub. Watching the#SAGawards tonight made me think of this picture, which I haven't shared in a few years. Ms. Moreno, the legendary Puerto Rican actress and singer is now 86 and one of the few performers who has won an Oscar, Emmy, Tony and Grammy Awards. This photo appeared in the December 10, 1953, edition of JET magazine. #RitaMoreno #LenaHorne #EGOT#vintageblackglamour"

From MAKERS
Still busy performing at 80 years old, Moreno’s latest roles include the sitcom Happily Divorced and her autobiographical one-women-show, Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup which she debuted on stage in 2011. Her wide-ranging body of work and success has earned her two of America’s highest honors – the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Bush in 2004, and the National Medal of the Arts from President Obama in 2009.
