Rita Hayworth on the Russell Harty Show, 1976
“All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved”
Rita Hayworth (17th October 1918 - 14th May 1987)
R.I.P. Margarita Carmen Dolores Cansino | October 17, 1918 - May 14, 1987
“Rita was so much more than just a queen of the silver screen. Part of her appeal lies in the fact that she was, in real life, the antithesis of a movie star. She wasn’t interested in the trappings of fame. She was a real woman, strong and able to take care of herself, but in search of a happiness that, ultimately, eluded her. Through it all she remained a gentle spirit, a loving mother and friend, and a woman of pride. She participated in life with a boundless passion, and she walked away with few regrets. Rita Hayworth also gave, and continues to give, joy to millions of film lovers the world over. That will never stop…Certainly she has left an inspirational legacy.”
- Caren Roberts-Frenzel

“Someday I’ll come back to you with a whole trunkful of clippings, and when you marry me, you’ll marry the first torero of Spain, not the second or third, but the first, the greatest!”
