Rita Moreno to receive SAG Life Achievement Award
Rita Moreno will receive the Life Achievement Award for career and humanitarian accomplishments at the 20th annual SAG Awards, The Associated Press reports. Screen Actors Guild & American Federation of Television and Radio Artists Co-President Ken Howard made the announcement Monday. He said Moreno is the 50th recipient of the award, "the most prestigious honor we bestow." Moreno, 81, won a best supporting actress Oscar for 1961's "West Side Story."
