REMEMBERING RITA HAYWORTH

Remembering the luminescent Rita Hayworth, who passed away on this date in 1987. Rita was the reigning Queen of Columbia Pictures when Marilyn was under contract to them in 1948. There is little doubt that Marilyn was given the “Rita look” in those six months. Rita was a fantastic dancer and it’s said that she was Fred Astaire’s favourite partner.
