The iconic, lovable, affable, beautiful (and so much more) Rita Moreno gave a tour of her Beverly Hills home overlooking the San Francisco Bay, and it was legendary.

Rita bought the 5,500 square foot, three-bedroom, home with her late husband Leonard Gordon 16 years ago and has since redecorated it to reflect her Puerto Rican heritage.

And perhaps one of the coolest things in her home is a picture of Marlon Brando, whom she calls the greatest “lust” of her life. (Gordon was the greatest “love,” respectively)

According to People magazine, Rita and Marlon had an 8-year affair. She met him at 22 on the set of the Napoleon biopic Desiree.

“Why that picture of Marlon Brando? Because he was a big love of mine in my life,” she said. “This one, it’s almost seems like a vignette out of a movie, so that’s why it’s there. He was the lust of my life and that over there is the love of my life,” said Rita, gesturing to a picture of her and her husband. “This was taken by a very famous fashion photographer at the time, it is a really special photo. I just love it because even though we are silhouetted, you can still see features, which I think is so special. A special photo in a special room for a special mama.”

Rita is currently on Netflix’s One Day at a Time reboot.

“I love this room, I can never get tired of it, I get excited to be in it again when I come home again after months away, I just adore being in here,” she said. “Everything that I want, I have right here. You give me a little crockpot and I could live here. I very often do.”
