Rita Moreno is one of few people to hold the awards "Grand Slam" -- Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, and Tony. In her twenties, after her Oscar win for "West Side Story," she didn't work in Hollywood again for seven years, because she refused stereotyped roles. She's see as a trailblazer. And she's having, at 83, a well-deserved very good year.
Her first Spanish-language album "Una Vez Maz," produced by Emilio Estefan, is out and she's the voice of Abuelita on the new children's television series "Nina's World."
Rita Moreno is speaking at the USU Caine College of the Arts Dean's Convocation on October 5 at Utah State University. She performs concerts across the country and often appears as a guest artist with symphony orchestras.
