## Public Title

`La primera actriz boricua que ganó un Oscar`

## Source-Safe Thesis

Rita Moreno, born in Humacao, Puerto Rico, won the 1962 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for `West Side Story`. National Archives frames her as the first Hispanic actress to win an Academy Award; PBS American Masters frames the Oscar as the first award in her later EGOT and documents ongoing Hollywood typecasting after the win. The episode leads with the Puerto Rico connection and stays inside the actress / woman / Hispanic-actress framing to avoid conflict with José Ferrer's earlier Oscar for Best Actor.

## Receipt Spine

- Academy / Oscars 34th Academy Awards page confirms Rita Moreno as the Best Supporting Actress winner for `West Side Story`, Monday, April 9, 1962, Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
- National Archives / Pieces of History places Rita Moreno as first Hispanic actress to win an Academy Award and confirms she was born in Humacao, Puerto Rico.
- PBS American Masters frames the 1962 Oscar as the first award in her EGOT and documents ongoing Hollywood typecasting after the win.
- Wikimedia Commons preserves a 1954 public-domain Rita Moreno portrait for production-safe visual use.

## Guardrails

- Say `primera actriz boricua`, not `primera boricua`. José Ferrer won an Oscar before Rita Moreno.
- Do not claim she was the first Latina Oscar winner without pinning the exact source and framing.
- Do not imply the Oscar ended stereotyped roles. National Archives and PBS both document the opposite.
- Do not use Getty / Bettmann / NYT / PBS Oscar-night photos as production art unless rights are separately verified.
- Keep generated Hollywood atmosphere separate from the real-photo anchor credited to Wikimedia Commons / National Archives / Academy.
