Rita Moreno

She appeared on Broadway and in her first film role in her early teens, and left school around the same time. Rita Moreno is best known as Anita in West Side Story in 1961, a role that earned her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, making her the first Latina actress to win the honor.
