Dirs. Various, 1971-1977, approx 75 mins. Rita Moreno has earned the coveted EGOT designation (Emmy-Grammy-Oscar-Tony), but many aren’t aware that she won her Grammy for the acclaimed children’s television show The Electric Company cast album and that she received her first Emmy Award for her memorable guest starring appearance on The Muppet Show. This screening will present her Muppet Show episode in its entirety (featuring her memorable duet with Animal), selected performances from her long run on The Electric Company, and other rare clips from Rita's family television work of the 1970s.

This screening is free with Museum admission. Please request a ticket upon arrival at the Museum (same-day admission).
