I had the absolute pleasure of making a portrait of Oscar-winner Rita Moreno last week, to start a strong and busy spring for us both as she embarks on her book tour. Rita is possibly among the most charming, polite, and enthusiastic people I’ve ever met, bringing nothing but positive vibes and can-do to the set. While most of the folks on hand that night were talking about her performance in West Side Story, I personally was in the Oz camp – she was great as Sister Reimondo. She’s one of the very few (and very first) performers to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony, and a Grammy, too. Great to meet you, Rita!
