At the age of five, little Rosita and her mother moved from Juncos, Puerto Rico to New York City. In her new and unfamiliar surroundings, Rosita had only the memories of her idyllic island life and dancing as her best and only friend. With the tireless work ethic and passion inside, Rosita kept dancing all the way to fame as the iconic singer, dancer, and activist - Rita Moreno. Despite the obstacles she faced as a minority on her self-made path to stardom, Rita emerged as the sole Puerto Rican movie star in the Golden Age of Hollywood. From her dazzling performances in world-famous musicals to commanding the stage on broadway, Moreno captivates audiences with her broad range of roles that she plays with honesty, power and passion. She is the rare recipient of the coveted EGOT - America's most prestigious awards in television, music, film and theater. Rita was also awarded the National Medal of Arts, the highest award honoring artist and art patrons, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award of the United States. Through her art and her voice, she trail-blazed the way for other Latinas to tell their authentic stories in show-business and is a champion for social justice and human rights. "Just a girl who decided to go for it", Rita Moreno is a boundless expression of courage, resilience, and inspiration.
