Rita Moreno on playing a sassy grandma, 'West Side Story'
NEW YORK (AP) — Rita Moreno plays one of TV's best villains. Or is she one of its snidest heroines? Either way, her sass grandmother on the Netflix reboot of "One Day at a Time" is truly a funny concoction.
Her Lydia wears makeup to bed, has a gun on hand and still is seductive in her 80s. Moreno calls her "shameless" and a "diva."
Moreno, one of the rare EGOTs — a winner of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, — is enjoying a purple creative patch lately with the show's third season and an upcoming role in the Steven Spielberg-led remake of "West Side Story," for which Moreno won an Oscar as Anita in 1961.
