Feliz Cumple, Rita Moreno! The iconic actress, singer and dancer was born on this day in 1931 in Humacao, Puerto. Born Rosa Dolores Alverío Moreno, the icon had early roles in films such as “So Young, So Bad”, “The Toast of New Orleans” and “Singin’ in the Rain”. Her breakthrough came with the 1961 film adaptation of “West Side Story”. Moreno’s portrayal of Anita earned her an Academy award—the first for a Latina actress. From then on, Moreno blazed a trail for Latinas in the entertainment industry and showed the world her talent. The 93-year-old cemented her icon status when she became the first Latina EGOT winner. ⁠ ⁠ #RitaMoreno #PuertoRican #Latina #Poderosa #WestSideStory #Icon #Boricua #LatinaPower #EGOT #OscarWinner #ProudLatina
