Rita Moreno (@theritamoreno) looks back on her historic Oscar win and how she regrets not mentioning that it was a major moment for her as a Latina in Hollywood. The now 93-year old Puerto Rican icon won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anita in “West Side Story” in 1962. She became the first Latina to win an acting Oscar and would later become the first Latina to earn EGOT status.
