“Rita Moreno won an Oscar for playing Anita in the film West Side Story. She won a Tony for playing Googie Gomez in the Broadway musical The Ritz and was awarded Emmys for appearances on The Muppet Show and The Rockford Files.

On Saturday morning, young people who gathered in the Little Theatre found out that she does a pretty good iguana voice as well.

Moreno is in town for the Rochester High Falls International Film Festival and was honored with the Susan B. Anthony “Failure is Impossible” Award Saturday evening.”*
