Keck's Exclusives: Rita Moreno Welcomed to NBC's "Family"
Sep 17, 2013
by William Keck
NBC's new sitcom "Welcome to the Family" is welcoming Rita Moreno to its cast.
Moreno, who will receive the SAG Award's Life Achievement honor in January 2014, will play Abuelita, the spicy grandmother of Lisette (Justina Machado), who looms large over the Hernandez family.
The matriarch, expected to debut in November, is described as extremely religious, judgmental, tough, perpetually scowling and rude. The thought of disappointing Abuelita is so unappealing that Lisette and her family tell her elaborate lies about their lives whenever she comes to visit.
"Welcome to the Family" premieres Thursday, Oct. 3 at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.
