She is listed as one of the top 25 female motion picture stars of all time in the American Film Institute’s survey. Her greatest success was in the Technicolor musical Cover Girl (1944), with Gene Kelly. Fred Astaire, with whom she made two films, called her his favorite dance partner. Hayworth is perhaps best known for her performance in the 1946 film noir, Gilda, opposite Glenn Ford, in which she played the femme fatale in her first major dramatic role. She was one of the top pin-up girls for GIs during World War II. The press coined the term “love goddess” to describe Hayworth after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s. She achieved fame during the 1940s as one of the era’s top stars, appearing in a total of 61 films over 37 years. Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Carmen Cansino Octo– May 14, 1987) was an American actress and dancer. Hayworth was probably the most talented dancer to come out of Hollywood’s golden era, and the joy she exhibits on screen is made poignant by our knowledge of her tragic life. I know, I know… it sounds awful, but the video is actually quite entertaining.
