Her latest work includes co-starring and serving as Executive Producer in the Steven Spielberg remake of WEST SIDE STORY, scheduled for release summer of 2021, and starring in the popular Latino remake of Norman Lear’s classic sitcom, ONE DAY AT A TIME. AFI FEST celebrates Rita Moreno with a live conversation about her epic career with playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner.
