Given that she was giving quotes yesterday about someone else's death, no. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 05:53, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Accolades edits

edit

I don’t recall my account information so I can’t make these edits currently, but under accolades, starting with this paragraph:

’She has also received a Golden Globe Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she was Inducted into the California Hall of Fame, 2007 In 2013, she received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award which was presented to her by Morgan Freeman.’

The Golden Globe was alluded to earlier in the section by mentioning her EGOT. Sentence editing is needed before the last sentence. And the mention of the SAG Life Achievement Award also comes up twice in this same section. 2601:410:200:2D30:690C:ADBA:3F11:7318 (talk) 01:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Golden Globes are not part of the EGOT; the "G" in that term stands for Grammy. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 01:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nationality in Lead

edit

Hi!

I'm wondering why the beginning description says "is an American actress, dancer, and singer" and not "is a Puerto Rican-American actress..."?

Apologies if this has been asked before. Apathyash (talk) 19:52, 21 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

See MOS:NATIONALITY. The time when those born in Puerto Rico were not American citizens ended in 1917, before Moreno was born. She does not now reside in Puerto Rico, nor was she living in Puerto Rico when her career started, so even if Puerto Rico were not part of the US (which of course it is), under those guidelines we would not be putting Puerto Rican in the opening sentence. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 23:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Rita's Tony Award

edit

Terrence McNally's "The Ritz" is a play, not a musical. Therefore, Rita's Tony Award was for Best Featured Actress in a Play. Edkileynyc (talk) 22:53, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey, we had it right in 2 out of 3 places -- that's 67%, a good solid D-minus at least! Anyway, fixed, and thanks for the heads up. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 23:16, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
