The 84-year- old actress and singer—one of only 12 people to achieve coveted "EGOT" status by winning Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards—is in good company as the voice of the holiday classic. David Bowie, Patrick Stewart and Dame Edna have all performed the narrator role, but Moreno brings her customary zest to the part. "The whole idea is to get very dramatic and big," she says. "I love to entertain children. It's so much fun to see those tiny little faces with huge eyes believing everything you say."
