Rita Hayworth

Rita Hayworth was one of the most prominent sex symbols in the 50s and 60s. The press even dubbed her the “Love Goddess”. Her most famous role was in the 1964 film Gilda, wherein she played the titular character, and one of the first “femme fatales”. She passed away in the late 80s, having suffered from alcoholism and Alzheimer’s Disease. Even so, she is still remembered for her beauty, archival footage of her in Gilda even being used in films such as The Shawshank Redemption”.
