Although several of her dramatic performances in films of the 1950s are among her most-praised-in particular Affair in Trinidad (1952), Salome (1953), Miss Sadie Thompson (1953), Pal Joey (1957), Separate Tables (1958), and They Came to Cordura (1959)-Hayworth grew increasingly frustrated with the acting profession. Never comfortable with fame or the trappings of a celebrity life, Hayworth was absent from films during her marriage (1949–51) to Prince Aly Khan (son of the Aga Khan III). It was also about this time that Life magazine dubbed Hayworth “The Love Goddess,” an appellation that, much to the actress’s chagrin, would remain with her for life. Hayworth’s portrayal of a cynical seductress is one of her most praised performances. Directed by Hayworth’s then-husband, Orson Welles, it is perhaps the most labyrinthine film in the genre. Two years later Hayworth starred in another film noir classic, The Lady from Shanghai (1947). A daring, quirky film for its time, Gilda was rife with sexually suggestive imagery and dialogue (such as Hayworth’s “If I’d been a ranch, they would have named me the Bar Nothing”) and featured Hayworth’s striptease to the song “Put the Blame on Mame,” perhaps the actress’s most famous film scene. A classic of film noir, Gilda featured Hayworth as the quintessential “noir woman,” a duplicitous temptress and an abused victim in equal measure. The definitive Hayworth film is undoubtedly Gilda (1946), in which she appeared opposite Glenn Ford, her frequent costar. Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth in The Lady from Shanghai On the advice of her first husband, Edward Judson (who became her manager), she changed her name to Rita Hayworth and dyed her hair auburn, cultivating a sophisticated glamour that first registered with her role as an unfaithful wife who tries to seduce Cary Grant in Only Angels Have Wings (1939). Movies from this period included Charlie Chan in Egypt (1935), Dante’s Inferno (1935), and Meet Nero Wolfe (1936). While still a teenager, she caught the attention of a Hollywood producer, and in the mid-1930s she began appearing in films, using her given name of Rita Cansino, starting with Under the Pampas Moon (1935). Hayworth was the daughter of Spanish-born dancer Eduardo Cansino and his partner, Volga Hayworth, and, as a child, she performed in her parents’ nightclub act. Rita Hayworth, original name Margarita Carmen Cansino, (born October 17, 1918, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.-died May 14, 1987, New York, New York), American film actress and dancer who rose to glamorous stardom in the 1940s and ’50s.
