“New York Times does not use Rita Moreno’s name, instead calls her “a guest.” Rita Moreno is one of 12 EGOTs in history – she has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.”
President Barack Obama presents the 2009 National Medal of Arts to Rita Moreno during a ceremony February 25, 2010 in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.
Moreno was given the award “for her remarkable achievements on stage and screen. Her performances have served as touchstones to millions of Americans for whom she reflects their own passions, troubles, and joys.”
