Rita Moreno Receives Academy Museum Icon Award, Cementing Her Status as a Living Legend

Rita Moreno—actor, activist, and trailblazer—was honored with the Icon Award by the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures this weekend. The award adds to her historic list of achievements, including her rare EGOT status: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winner.

Moreno remains the only Latina to earn all four major entertainment awards. From her role in West Side Story to a lifetime of breaking barriers, Moreno continues to redefine what’s possible for Latinas in Hollywood.
