Customer Reviews

A must-have for all of Rita's fans!

This outstanding book is packed with great photos of Rita Hayworth, the "love goddess", from her youth to her later years with its focus on her 59 or so film roles. I had no idea that by 1940 Rita had already appeared in 25 films! My personal favorite Hayworth film is of course, "Gilda", & thankfully 8 pages are devoted to this great classic. This book is highly recommended just for the photos alone, & even though the text was written many years before Rita's death, it doesn't detract any from the book's quality. And for those wanting to get the ultimate book on America's "love goddess", I recommend "Rita Hayworth: A Photographic Retrospective" by Caren Roberts-Frenzel, the founder of the Rita Hayworth Fan Club.
