Rita Hayworth was a professional dancer at only fourteen. She danced in clubs and bars which got her noticed by studio executives. A complete make-over, including plastic surgery transformed her. She was known for her breath taking beauty. Thanks to her pinup photos she quickly became a favourite of soldiers during World War II. When her most famous movie, ‘Gilda’, came out in 1946, the movie poster was censored due to a slight hint of her cleavage
Rita married five times and once to a prince, she had two children. On May 14, 1987 at the age of 68 Hayworth passed away from Alzheimer’s disease in New York City. Hayworth appeared in a total of 61 films over 37 years. She is one of six women to have danced on screen with both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.
