Who is Rita Moreno? / G.M. Taboas Zayas ; illustrated by Tim Foley.
"Before she was Rita Moreno, Rosita Dolores AlverÃo emigrated to New York City from Puerto Rico with her mother when she was five years old. With a talent for dancing and performing, she started her career on the stage at age nine. By the time she was thirteen, Rita made her Broadway debut! Best known for her role in West Side Story, Rita became the first Puerto Rican woman to win an Academy Award and eventually the first Latina woman in history to win an EGOT, all four of the major entertainment awards." -publisher's website.
