Auction History Result 1e689 RITA HAYWORTH 11x14.25 still '42 wonderful portrait in sexy gown from My Gal Sal! Date Sold 3/31/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 11" x 14 1/4" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Rita Hayworth was born in 1918. During the early 1940s she was one of the greatest sex symbols the movies has ever had, most notably in the 1946 movie, Gilda. But she was born Margarita Cansino, and was originally a child dancer with her father. She later caught the attention of Harry Cohn at Columbia, who cast her as a sexy dancer in some late 1930s movies, first billing her as Rita Cansino, and then renaming her to Hayworth (her mother's maiden name). Cohn did all he could to get rid of her Spanish ethnicity, changing her name, having her dye her black hair red, and having her hairline raised! She made many memorable dance movies (including ones opposite both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly!), but she is probably best remembered for her five steamy melodramas opposite Glenn Ford. She had a tumultuous private life, marrying five times, most memorably to Orson Welles and Prince Aly Khan (this was before Grace Kelly married her prince!). Her most famous quote (explaining why she married so many times) was "Every man I have ever known has fallen in love with Gilda and awakened with me." She exhibited erratic behavior in her later years because she suffered from early Alzheimer's, which went undiagnosed for quite some time. Rita passed away in 1987 at the age of 68. In those later years, she was cared for by her daughter, Princess Yasmin Khan, who has also been a champion of raising money for Alzheimer's research. She is also best remembered for her roles in The Lady from Shanghai, Only Angels Have Wings, Separate Tables, Tales of Manhattan, and many others! Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 11" x 14 1/4" [28 x 36 cm]. Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 201 "oversized" stills we are auctioning this week. All of the stills measure greater than 8" x 10", and most measure 11" x 14". Many are deluxe (printed on a heavy weight paper stock), and many are stamped or embossed with the names of famous photographers of the time. This is surely the finest collection of such stills we have ever offered! In each case, we always identify the exact measurements of the still, whether or not it is deluxe, and if a photographer is credited (and we have high quality scans of both the front and back of every still, so you can see exactly what is on the back of each, and so you can clearly determine the exact condition of each). If you have the slightest interest in these, be sure to look over all of the 201"oversized" stills we are currently offering. We promise you won't be disappointed! Condition: good to very good. The still was used in a magazine and there are printer instructions on the back of the still, including an outline of Hayworth's figure, but they have little effect on the front.
