One of the very few performers to have an OSCAR, GRAMMY, EMMY and TONY. Bravo!

I hope Rita Moreno wins in the upcoming 69th Emmys. Her perfomance in One Day at a Time was spectacular.

Nobody was ever happier to win acting awards than Rita.

Such exuberance, joy and happiness from Rita Moreno. She receives all her awards with such gratitude.

Rita Moreno was exuberant! Just like when she won her Oscar 16 years earlier.

Rita is so beautiful. I love her in “The Electric Company”, “The Ritz” and of course “West Side Story”.

At the same time kids loved her on PBS!

I became a fan of Ms. Moreno as a child. The Electric Company is where it all started.

[annecohen]

This woman is multi talented. Amazing in most aspects of these categories. I remember seeing her on tv while watching The Electric Company.

One of the original EGOT winner's and she actually won all 4 not given a special one or producer.

[ghpierce]

The Electric Company is how I discovered her when I was a kid. I have admired her every since.

Oh, to be lifted up in an embrace like that from James

[kendallrivers]

Says a lot about the pedigree of actors The Rockford Files had. James Garner, Rita Moreno and Stuart Margolin all won Emmys for their iconic portrayals. I personally also feel that Noah Beery Jr. and Joe Santos could've easily won some Emmys themselves.

I just luv Rita she was just great on that show I am so happy she won she deserved it. Hope I can meet her one day. She was also good on the tv show Oz Thanks.
