It was a great honor to speak with Rita Moreno because I grew up singing along with the &#8220;West Side Story&#8221; Broadway album, and I loved the movie. She played Anita in the movie and won an Oscar for it. She&#8217;s the only EGOT I&#8217;ve ever interviewed. It was also nice to speak to the others, of course, especially Justin Gaston, who was on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Days of Our Lives<\/a>&#8221; and is married to Melissa Ordaway (Abby on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/yr\/\">Young and The Restless<\/a>&#8220;).
