History Daily

Originally born Margarita Carmen Cansino, Rita Hayworth was given the nickname “The Love Goddess” and was known for her incredibly glamorous looks and her amazing dancing talent. Having made it big in the 1940s, she met her future husband, Prince Aly Khan because of her fame, and ended up giving up her career for him. But when she realized he was a womanizer, she left him and went back to Hollywood to revive her career. Her talent was enough to garner more roles, and according to one of her directors, George Cukor, “She had natural elegance. I saw that immediately, before they fixed her hair, something I may have contributed to did ask for Rita on her first loan‐out, ‘Susan and God,’ where she really had little to do. Yes, I knew, right away, she wasn’t just another pretty girl. Rita made some of her material better than it was.”
