Rita Hayworth - ©Theda Bara

In this post I bring you Rita Hayworth, one of Hollywood's biggest stars. During her 37-year film career, Rita starred in 61 films. Among them, the one that was most successful and made the actress iconic was: “Gilda” (1946).

Rita Hayworth, one of the most glamorous actresses of Hollywood's golden age, was never nominated for an Oscar. Her only significant award came at age 60, in 1978, when she received an award from the National Film Society for her lifetime of dedication to film.

The actress has her star on the Los Angeles Walk of Fame, at 1645 Vine Street, Cinema category.

In 2014, among the countless existing biographies, a posthumous and very complete one was written about the actress: “Rita Hayworth: And Men Created a Goddess”

Rita Hayworth, born Margarita Carmen Cansino, on October 17, 1918, Brooklyn, New York, United States and died on May 14, 1987, Manhattan, New York, United States, aged 68.

Rita Hayworth was married five times and all unions ended in divorce. Her first marriage was to American prosecutor Edward C. Judson (1896-1988) from 1937 to 1942; her second marriage was to the controversial American actor, director, writer and producer, considered one of the most versatile artists of the 20th century in the area of theater, radio and cinema, George Orson Welles (1915-1985) from 1943 to 1947, with whom she had a daughter, actress Rebecca Welles (1944-2004); his third marriage was to the Pakistani ambassador to the United Nations, Ali Solomone Aga Khan (1911-1960) from 1949 to 1953, with whom he had one daughter, the Swiss princess Yasmin Aga Khan (1949-), a Swiss-born American, philanthropist, known for increasing public awareness of Alzheimer’s disease; her fourth marriage was to Argentine singer Dick Haymes (1918-1980) from 1953 to 1955; and her fifth and last marriage and divorce was with American film producer and screenwriter James Hill (1916-2001) from 1958 to 1961. During the 26 years until her death, the actress had other casual relationships that were not assumed.

  2. Friend Theodosia,
    “Rita Hayworth”, in addition to being a very beautiful and sensual woman, was also an excellent actress.
    This Oscar-winning thing has always been part of a paternalistic scheme in the American film industry.
    Its namesake Theda Bara was an excellent actress and also never received a statuette, even though she was married to one of the most famous Hollywood filmmakers of her time, “Charles Brabin”.
    Excellent post.
    Kisses and have a good week!!!

  7. La película Gilda es como nos dices la que mas fama la dio en especial la escena en que se quita el guante y recibe el tortazo de su paterné Glenn Ford.
    Su nombre era Margarita Carmen Cansino Hayworth hija de un bailarín español y una bailarina estadounidense de origen irlandés.

    Saludos.

  9. I see that your blog is absolutely for me, because I am a huge cinema fan. Rita - the icon of cinema. It's a pity that she suffered from such a terrible disease as Alzheimer's.
