Description
Born Margarita Carmen Cansino on October 17, 1918 in New York City, became Rita Hayworth, in 1941, "The Great American Love Goddess," after critical praise applauded her in "Only Angels Have Wings" opposite Cary Grant. Her best known performance was Charles Vidor's classic "Gilda".
Not many people know, Rita was a trained dancer, and she danced in two movies with Fred Astaire, along with "Cover Girl" with Gene Kelly. Fred Astaire once admitted Rita was his favorite dancing partner.
Her death brought the attention of a devastating disease not much known about in 1987, Alzheimer's disease. Of course we now know what Rita, and her two daughters suffered by this horrific disease. Rita the victim of the disease and her daughters, her caretakers, a difficult space in time. Today many of us know or have family members, and friends and know too well the impact of Alzheimer's disease on all.
Fortunately we have her many movies and remember her red mane, and a black satin dress, singing and dancing across the stage with passion, "Put The Blame On Mame" with her gorgeous smile and flashing brown eyes.
Thank you Rita, I love you still!
