  Rita Moreno

  Rita Moreno

  Rita Moreno began singing and dancing at the age of 5, and by 13, she was in the cast of a Broadway show. Her Grand Slam of show business awards - an Oscar for West Side Story, a Tony for The Ritz, a Grammy for the Electric Company children’s albums, and two Emmys for The Muppet Show and The Rockford Files - earned her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Her TV and film roles include everything from a hooker in the film Carnal Knowledge to a nun in the prison series Oz, and she’s also got a fabulous nightclub act. I’m not sure I could even get her to take a break from her career long enough to spend a few months in an isolated place, but let’s see what she would pack in her survival kit if she did agree to go.
