At 87 years old, Rita Moreno‘s living her absolute best life. Currently, the only Latino EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) winner is starring in the One Day at a Time reboot, which features a Cuban-American family from Echo Park, Los Angeles. As we recently said in our spoiler-free review of the Netflix show, Rita nearly stole the show.

To celebrate the legend, you can binge watch these 5 movies starring Rita Moreno that are now streaming – but perhaps the best way to enjoy her vivacious spirit and real-life moments is through GIFs. Whether she’s slaying the silver screen or aggressively thrusting her pelvis at an award show, there’s no one quite like Rita. In honor of the premiere of ODAAT, here are 12 Rita GIFs that will give you life.
