5 Movies Starring Rita Moreno You Can Stream at Home

Rita Moreno is a legend. An icon. One of the greatest of all time. She has an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony (aka as an EGOT). If you’ve been enjoying her as Lydia on Netflix’s One Day at a Time it’s because you’re seeing a consummate performer know exactly when to pause to get a laugh and when to nod her head to make you ugly cry. With a career spanning close to seven decades (her first screen credit, as “Rosita Moreno” was 1950’s So Young So Bad), there’s just too many performances and shows and movies to list when wanting to showcase the range of this Puerto Rican’s talent.

That won’t deter us, though, from highlighting five films where the celebrated performer shines. And we’ve gone further: we chose 5 movies you can stream at home (that means we had to let the Marlon Brando-starrer The Night of the Following Day off, leaving us without any way of seeing just how great of a chemistry she had with the Oscar winner). Find these below and create your very own Rita Moreno Appreciation Film Festival from the comfort of your own couch.
