Rita Hayworth's acting experience

The most popular poster girl

The film that really made Rita Hayworth rise to the film world was "Angel Wings" directed by Howard Hux. Caleglen and Jane Arthur star in the film. Rita plays a merciless wife in the film. Although she is only the second heroine, she is impressive.

Afterwards, she starred in several B-level movies. But in the early 1940s, a series of blockbuster films gradually pushed Rita Hayworth's popularity to its peak.

This batch of milestone works includes playing a confusing sexy woman in "Blue Blood and Yellow Sand", dancing with the dance king Freya Stan in "Golden Dream" and "Peach Blossom Palace", In "Cover Girl" (Cover Girl 1944), she danced with another dance king, Jim Carrey. This series of performances was right in the direction of Rita Hayworth.

Her photos published in "Life" magazine were in short supply, and she became the most popular poster girl for American soldiers sent to fight overseas. She was even the first to be dropped into the Bikini Island test site. The atomic bombs have photos of Rita on them, which shows their sexy "power".

Establishing the status of the Hollywood love goddess

The masterpiece that allowed Rita Hayworth to establish her status as the Hollywood love goddess finally appeared after the war, that is "Gilda the Slut" (Gilda 1946). In the film, she plays the heroine Gilda, the wife of a small-town gambler. She and her husband (Glenn Ford) occupied other people's casinos and made a splash. Rita sang and danced in the film, demonstrating her charming skills as a loose woman, becoming an unparalleled "sex queen" at the time. The groundbreaking glove dance in the opening film made her the originator of striptease, once again subverting men's imagination. This most famous slut image in film history pushed Hayworth's career to the top. It is also a cash cow for Columbia. Company boss Harry Cohen was not only worried about her acting career, but also wanted to control her turbulent love life, but he was not very successful.

In 1942, Rita fell in love with her co-star Vito Mathur in "Enemies" and divorced her original partner. Soon, at the remarriage ceremony the following year, the groom was replaced by the famous talent Orson Welles. However, this marriage came and went as quickly as it came. No one thought that the marriage between the two would be like that in "Citizen Kane". Welles believed that this marriage restricted him. It is said that the conflict between the two intensified to an unparalleled degree. Rita was woken up from her sleep and found Wells and two photographers standing beside the bed, just to prove that she was beautiful anytime and anywhere. When Rita performed in Orson's The Lady From Shanghai (1948), the two were already separated. When Welles generously cut off Rita's red hair, he also cut off the story of beauty and genius. In addition, she also starred in films such as "Rouge Tiger".

In May 1948, Rita Hayworth once again visited Europe on a cruise ship. On the ship, Rita falls in love with the Arab Muslim prince Ali Khan. Their romance sparked a backlash when it hit the press, as Ali Khan was not yet divorced at the time. A year later, the two finally held a dreamy and luxurious wedding in France. Although Rita was willing to change her religion for Ali Khan, the latter could not change his playboy nature. The marriage only lasted two years, and Ali Khan was later killed in a car accident. After spending too much money in Europe and struggling to maintain her finances, Rita returned to Hollywood and asked Columbia to reinstate her contract. Boss Cohen missed his old friendship and agreed to his request, allowing Rita to star in films such as "Quantico", "Queen of Blood", and "The Red Army". Although the roles were quite suitable for Rita's acting style, she Little of its charm has been lost over the years, so the response was muted.

Scored five times

Although Rita's return to the film industry was not satisfactory, her habit of getting married has not changed:

In 1953, Rita The tower held its fourth wedding, and the groom was singer Dick Hyams. Because of Dick's financial and immigration problems, the marriage only lasted two years before ending.

After a series of blows, Rita disappeared from the screen for three years and did not make a comeback until 1958. At this time, she could no longer show off her sexiness like she did when she was young. After all, she was already forty-one years old, so she mostly played the role of a middle-aged lady. Among them, An Shangklan, the second heroine of "Yuanyang Pu", gave the best performance and won a lot of praise. In the same year, Rita scored five goals with the film's producer James Hill, but their short-lived marriage ended after three years.

After that, Rita could only make a living by acting in some mediocre films in the film industry in the United States and Europe, such as "The Money Trap", which no one had seen, co-starring with her old partner Glenn Ford. . The term "star" is a thing of the past for her.

In 1971, Rita once wanted to start the second spring of her acting career from stage plays, but she had to give up because she could not remember the long lines. When things didn't go her way, she started drinking heavily and her health deteriorated.

In 1981, the court ruled that Rita had lost the ability to take care of herself and left her in the care of her second daughter, Yasmin Aga Khan.

At the age of sixty-eight, Rita Hayworth finally passed away.
