When she was asked when she feels the most beautiful, Moreno answered, “When I’m looking into the eyes of my grandboys, and that’s one of them,” she said, talking about her grandson Justin that attended the gala with her.
Adoration
“I’m just I’m so proud of him. I can’t stand myself,” Moreno added. “This is my boy.”
Justin shared an equal adoration for his grandmother. “Whether you’re 24 years old or 91 years young, it’s always a fun time with Rita.”
Moreno is known for her 1952 performance in Singin’ In the Rain and Westside Story in 1961. The actress also starred in the 2021 adaptation of Westside Story directed by Steven Spielberg. She’s won an Oscar for her role in the original film. She was also the first Hispanic woman to win an Academy Award.
Family Outings
She had quite an emotional upbringing in the spotlight. She attributes her recovery to her late husband Leonard Gordon. They were married in 1965. Rita says that she owes much of her recovery to him.
“We balance each other. I am not exactly Mrs. Good Housekeeping, although I love to cook, bake, even iron, but only because it’s not mandatory.”
Gordon and Moreno have a daughter together, Fernanda Gordon. She is Cameron and Justin’s mother.
Justin has attended several other events with his grandmother, including several movie premieres.
