Date Sold 3/22/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] News Photo (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, and in those later years until her death 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! AND Eartha Kitt was a black African American actress, singer and dancer from the 1950s to the 2000s. Some of her movies include: Anna Lucasta, Synanon, St. Louis Blues, and in TV's "Batman" where she played Catwoman. Important Added Info: Note that Rita and her daughter Yasmin Khan were visiting Eartha backstage in the short-lived 1978 Broadway musical "Timbuktu!" (a reworking of "Kismet" set in Africa) in which Kitt starred. Also, note that this news photo was printed on Kodak paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still.
