Rita Moreno, the legendary actress and proud owner of an EGOT, is gearing up to celebrate her 92nd birthday on December 11th. It’s an incredible milestone that she is excited to commemorate. However, this year presents a unique challenge for Rita.
After moving from her large party home in Berkeley Hills to a smaller condominium, Rita realized that her new place would not be able to accommodate her famous “fabulous” birthday parties. In a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine, Rita expressed her concern about how to celebrate her special day.
But fear not! Rita has come up with a plan. Instead of throwing one big birthday bash, she is considering hosting 2-3 smaller parties at her condo, splitting her guests accordingly. It’s not about ego or vanity for Rita; she simply wants to share this joyous occasion with as many loved ones as possible.
Turning 92 is a momentous occasion for Rita, and she is determined to make the most of it. She exclaimed, “What are we going to do? Because I definitely want to celebrate 92. My God, that’s pretty good!” Her enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s inspiring to see her embracing life with such zest.
In addition to her birthday festivities, Rita has even more to celebrate. She recently appeared in the new film Family Switch alongside Ed Helms and Jennifer Garner. Released on November 30th on Netflix, the movie is a delightful family comedy that promises laughter and heartwarming moments.
When asked about her experience working on the film, Rita couldn’t stop gushing about the talented cast. She described Ed Helms as “extremely funny” and Jennifer Garner as “everything that she seems to be.” It’s evident that she had a blast filming this project and relished every moment.
But it’s not just about birthdays and movie roles for Rita. In the interview, she touched upon a deeply personal aspect of her life – the importance of making new connections. Rita opened up about feeling lonely and how her daughter, Fernanda, inspired her to change that.
Fernanda noticed a change in her mother’s behavior and confronted Rita about it. This led Rita to realize that she needed to do something about her loneliness. One day, while at the supermarket, she struck up a conversation with a woman she often saw there. They ended up going out to lunch and have been friends ever since.
Rita also made new friends in her building, injecting a fresh dose of energy into her life. These newfound friendships have had a profound impact on her well-being and will undoubtedly add special moments to her upcoming birthday celebration.
As Rita Moreno turns 92, she reminds us all of the importance of cherishing our relationships and embracing life with open arms. Her journey of self-discovery and celebration serves as an inspiration to people of all ages.
Happy birthday, Rita Moreno – may your special day be filled with joy, laughter, and the love of those who cherish you.
