Rita Hayworth appeared on screen in 1946 in her most famous role. The scene from the movie “Gilda”, in which the title character slowly removes the glove from her hand, was for years considered one of the hottest in the history of cinema. Soldiers in love with her even placed a photo of the actress on the atomic bomb detonated on the atoll in 1946.
The image of a sensual femme fatale stuck with the actress for many years. However, she herself claimed that it did not reflect her true personality. Apparently the star was morbidly shy. – I was actually a slave – she recalled her career years later.

Rita Hayworth has undoubtedly achieved enormous professional success. The famous actress has many wonderful roles under her belt. She appeared in, among others, “The Lady from Shanghai”, “Blood on Sand”, “Separate Tables”, “Carmen’s Love”, as well as in the already mentioned film “Gilda”. However, few people know that her love life was very turbulent. The star has five marriages behind her. At the age of eighteen, Rita married car salesman Edward Judson. Their relationship lasted five years. The official reason for the divorce was domestic violence. A year later, Rita was married again. This time her chosen one was the director Orson Welles. This relationship also broke up after five years.
Rita Hayworth became the prince’s wife
The actress’s most famous relationship was her marriage to Prince Aly Khan, the son of Sultan Mahommed Shah (Aga Khan III), the founder of the Muslim League. It was for her third husband that Rita gave up her acting career. However, Aly did not turn out to be Prince Charming. He cheated on his wife and used violence against her – both physical and mental. The star finally managed to escape from her husband. As she emphasized, she did it out of fear. – I was afraid that he would kidnap our daughter – she admitted years later. It is worth mentioning that after all these traumatic experiences in the last twenty years of her life, Rita Hayworth preferred not to be involved with anyone anymore.
