classic hollywood: Rita Hayworth – Gilda (1946)

February 21, 2010 by  

I have to admit that I don’t really know too much about Rita Hayworth.  As a matter of fact, my interest came from after watching Michael Jackson’s “THIS IS IT” in which a clip of the beautiful actress from her role in the 1946 film “Gilda” was featured and I immediately purchased the DVD and now looking forward to her DVD boxset in May.

As one of Hollywood’s greatest sex symbols, I have to admit that reading about her life and how she was mistreated by the men she was with was very difficult to read.   Especially reading (on Wikipedia) that she died at 68 of Alzheimer’s disease and earlier on, had major bouts with alcohol.

Nevertheless, she was one of America’s top talented female actresses that made the hearts of many swoon.    I don’t have too many photos in my collection of Rita Hayworth, but this one is one of my favorites.

    There’s a new documentary on Alzheimer’s that’s just been released, which features Rita’s daughter Yasmin talking about Rita and her battle with the disease, and how painting helped her. And showed some of Rita’s paintings. We saw the film at a Film festival. Available on Amazon if you are interested. Here is a description from the Festival: I Remember Better When I Paint is a World Premier Documentary featuring Rita Hayworth’s daughter, Yasmin Aga Khan, president of Alzheimer Disease International. The film reviews the latest technology in treating Alzheimer’s disease and focuses on the positive results received from patients that paint.
