	From 1971 to 1977, Moreno was a main cast member on the PBS children's series ''The Electric Company''. She screamed the show's opening line, "Hey, you guys!" Her roles on the show included Millie the Helper, the naughty little girl Pandora, and Otto, a very short-tempered director. Moreno also starred in Mike Nichols' ''Carnal Knowledge'' (1971) alongside Jack Nicholson, Candice Bergen, [[Ann-Margret]], and Art Garfunkel. In the film she plays a prostitute named Louise, whom Jack Nicholson plays cards with. The film was a critical success. In 1976 she starred as Googie Gomez in Richard Lester's film adaptation of the comedy farce ''The Ritz'' alongside Jack Weston, Jerry Stiller, and F. Murray Abraham.
