Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Neus (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she's just perfect! Beautiful, sexy, elegant..."

Ellen (Germany) on Rita Hayworth
"Since I discovered Rita, I know what magic is!
"

Roman (Argentina) on Rita Hayworth
"... because from the first time I saw her on stage I felt bewitched by her charisma.  She was powerful in the movies, and when I began to read about her life, I loved her more because she was a very good human being. To me this is great. EEUU people in general don't believe in being kind, shy... no, you must fight all the time. That's why to me Rita was special. Here in Argentina if you ask someone about glamour, beauty, sensuality, a lot of people will start talking about Rita Hayworth."

Craig (USA) on Rita Hayworth
I am so pleased that someone is doing this for Rita!  I knew her as a kid in the neighborhood near Hartford where her home was. Although she was shy, and reserved, we had some great talks that effected the rest of my life in a positive way. I think that she sure got a bad rap in the press through the last years of her life and I just want people who knew her as I did and the ones who never knew her how special she was and how much she did for the movie industry and how it not only furthered dance but gave the men during World War Two someone to idolise and fight for. I haven't spoken about her for many years as her death was and still is painful for me. But how many people even in death help humanity as she is with the Alzheimer's cause. How many of her contemporaries raised children like she did that are so caring as Princess Yasmin? Not many, and that alone speaks volumes of the calibre of Lady she was! Which is what a real Diva is! A Lady not a tramp or a demanding bitch who is here today gone tomorrow as these young ones seem to be, and a real Diva isn't a gold digger, she makes it on her own talents and skills with integrity and class like Rita always did.  A real Diva is her own person and lives her own life her way. She has her own signature style and doesn't need a famous label in her dress or on her jeans to prove who she is. A true Diva is Rita Hayworth. Take Care and keep up the good work!

Edi (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"You may put me down for diva Hayworth, whose father was much like mine!"

J.V. (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"The best!"

Monique (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She's very confident and gorgeous."

Luz (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She's beautiful!"

John (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Every quality of a good actress, admirable in dealings with people and studios and the most beautiful as a model or actress over a long career (1935 -1972)."

A.K. (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Simply put Rita Hayworth is Eternal Female Mystique."

Melanie (UK) on Rita Hayworth
"Nobody danced as gracefully as she did and Gilda is still my all time favourite film."

Alyvia (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She seems to have a natural beauty, and in every movie she has been in I have been captivated by her.  She seems someone I could be friends with if she were alive today."

Oliver (Germany) on Rita Hayworth
"Just unique!"

Mandie (UK) on Rita Hayworth
"She has poise, presence and yet she always looks haunted in a lot of her photographs.  She's unforgettable."

Rosalie (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Her style and poise. The Love Goddess is a diva hands down."

Angela (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She was sexy but had class, something most of the other women do not have.  Especially today, most of the divas could pass for hookers! Rita Hayworth had class, charisma, sultry & sophisticated-- and a natural beauty most of today's divas lack!"

Krystyna (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Lovely, intelligent, wonderful actress."

Harlay (France) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she is so gorgeous and so simple at the same time. She has such a wonderful body and voice. I cannot forget her singing 'Put the Blame on Mame' in Gilda."

Ziemek (Poland) on Rita Hayworth
"Perfect beauty like Nefertete."

Debra (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She was able to succeed despite abuse from the men in her life, especially her father! Her ability to act overcoming her extreme shyness and fear."

Rainbo (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I have admired her all my life.   She was bar none, one of the most beautiful women of the 20th century both inside and out."

Lydia (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"After seeing Gilda and reading how very shy Rita was in person, I realized what a incredible good actress she was and a wonderful dancer. I found Rita Hayworth very talented not only as an actress but as an dancer. Learning that she was very shy only goes to proof what a wonderful actress she was especially in Gilda. I wish more of her movies would be shown. Not only was she beautiful but talented as an actress and as an dancer. There was something about her that you couldn't take your eyes of her. I'm a woman (no, not gay) but I was taken by how gorgeous she was and how the cameras
captivated her beauty."

Nicole (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She just seemed like a very sweet person who could slip into any role and just embodied the character and made you believe in the story."

Eduardo (Chile) on Rita Hayworth
"Porque es la mas hermosa de todas las que he visto."

Zahira (Holland) on Rita Hayworth
"The most gorgeous, sexy and yet innocent looking female human being that ever existed."

Erin (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"... cause she rocks!"

Rob (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"What a looker!! That plus the tumultuous life equals no less than total diva!"

Thom (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Megastar since the 1940s!"

Katie (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is the most beautiful, and she is just like me."

Teresa (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Look at her!  How could she not be anyone's fave? I would sell my soul to the devil to be that gorgeous!"

Suzy (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"In my opinion Rita Hayworth is the most beautiful woman that I've ever seen. She had a good life! If I could be anyone I'd definitely be her. Till this day she has an influence on young woman who look up to her... like myself."

Alicia (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is a sultry goddess on screen!"

Craig (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I was lucky enough to have met her a few years before she died. She lived at 914 Hartford, just down the street from my parents where I grew up. I walked around this neighborhood a great deal when I was growing up there and Rita used to have a dog she walked a lot in front of her home near a tree there. All the stories about her being reclusive and crazy are so unkind. She was so nice and we talked about so many things that really shaped the way I have lead my life ever since. I owe so much to Rita and feel if ever there was a diva it has to be her!"

Marta (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"She had a great presence on the screen. When she appeared in a scene she stole the whole atention. She was incredibly beautiful without makeup, very natural. Her shoulders, hands and feet got rhythm. She was quite a good actress too (when she got the opportunity). I have loved her since I was a child. She was my first idol. Her incomparable smile always makes me cry."

John (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Beautiful without bitchy.  The only one listed that I would really have liked to actually know."

Danny (Australia) on Rita Hayworth
"She was one of the most beautiful women in the world. She was also so painfully shy, that it was amazing to see her on the screen in such roles as Gilda, proving without a doubt her strong acting ability."

Ernest (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Fine actress and easily the most beautiful."

E.S. (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She has such a magnetic personality on screen like no one I've ever seen, so much more than Marilyn Monroe. What I like about her is that she wasn't a perfect beauty. She had her physical flaws, yet by this it made her more beautiful than the rest who appeared to be perfect."

Holly (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth is my favorite diva because she was glamorous, she was a dedicated actress and mother, she sings beautifully, and she was a princess!"

Marlain (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth completely personifies the word glamorous."

Catherine (France) on Rita Hayworth
"Elegance and grace - her unfortunate marriage and long time suffering."

Dan (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Her eyes, her hair, her face!"

Erin (UK) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth brought happiness to my life."

D.B. (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is beautiful; in a sweet and sexy way. There is just that it quality about. There is no one else like her."

Zahira (Holland) on Rita Hayworth
"... because Rita Hayworth is a wonderful actress and dancer. She has been underestimated in her career as an actress. Personally I haven't seen a woman with more on stage charisma than her."

Ernest (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Her beauty, but she could not sing! Most of the songs she people heard her in the movies was done by Nan Wynn and Jo Ann Greer. However, no one can deny her glorious face and hair."

John (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She's always caught my attention. Very beautiful lady!"

Linda (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she was one of the first latin divas to make it in Hollywood.  She was talented and had natural beauty.  Plus she had red hair like me!"

Ysabella (UK) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth epitomizes beauty, grace and talent.  She was a terrific dancer, lovely to look at and a good actress.  Plus she had a sensuality that was part of her being; not contrived and in your face like some girls these days."

Kay (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Most beautiful, great actress!"

Amy (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth is my favorite diva because she is the most beautiful actress to ever grace the silver screen with her presence. She was the first major latin actress and she was a great dancer and she knew how to act."

Tina (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Despite a  horrendous life she cultivated a strong personality that allowed for professionalism, vulnerability, sexuality, and genuine friendliness (despite notorious temper).  Her only flaw?  Terrible taste in men."

Dan (Australia) on Rita Hayworth
"What a babe!"

Matt (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"A stunning and timeless beauty!"

Martina (Italy) on Rita Hayworth
"She's the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. S
he was a sweetie, a mother, she was everything."

Frank (Holland) on Rita Hayworth
"Most beautiful woman in our galaxy."

Diane (Australia) on Rita Hayworth
"She has that quality that in the instant you first see her-- she looks stunning. That hair!"

Ernest (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Beauty, Talent, Intellect."

Davor (Croatia) on Rita Hayworth
"She was a great actress, so beautiful, and the most sexy woman in the world."

Alexander (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Well, she's totally modern. She had style. From her side part to the flamenco in her strut to her ethics about working and raising a family, she was marvelous. But more than anything, I love her because of how free she makes me feel when she dances. Ahhhh... her dancing. Isn't this why we all lover her? It's her brand of magic that reaches out and gets me every time. For me, she will always remain the most amazing creature heaven and earth ever made. Indeed, she is both heaven and earth."

Ryan (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Sexiest Actress/Dancer of Hollywood."

Carole (Canada) on Rita Hayworth
"The most gorgeous movie star ever."

Fred (UK) on Rita Hayworth
"Her dancing!"

Marcos (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she was the most beautiful woman, and the best actress."

Terri (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth is my favorite diva honestly because I am very flattered when anyone tells me that I look a lot like her."

Deanna (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"No matter who you are, Rita always leaves you in complete awe. She's so beautiful."

Robert (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth forever!"

Joe (Portugal) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita was a stunningly beautiful woman and a
talented dancer. She danced with trained perfection and individuality, but her life was tragic. Unfortunately, we just don't have stars like her anymore. Thank you for making me dream."

Johanna (Holland) on Rita Hayworth
"She's beautiful! Need I say more? Breathtakingly beautiful!"

Natasha (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She's gorgeous."

Ariana (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita was a beautiful actress. It was so sad that she had to die. She had so much talent in her."

Lewra (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is just a great actress.  She is also very very beautiful, probably one of the most beautiful actresses ever.  She is very talented as well.  I know a lot of other actresses are very talented and beautiful, but there if just something about Rita that is wonderful, she shines so brightly."

A.C. (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is not only somewhat family but she is the best actress of her time and my time, and there is no one that can top her skills."

Dagoberto (Brazil) on Rita Hayworth
"Porque ela era muito bonita e uma excelente bailarina. Esbanjava sensualidade."

Annette (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"No one ever had so much beauty and an underutilized talent and yet felt unappreciated.  Few women can touch her for beauty alone."

Savanna (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Every movie she was in was like magic, there's a couple others like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford that also qualify but there's no one like Rita!"

Anne (France) on Rita Hayworth
"She was absolutely beautiful and warm and gentle. I love her sex-appeal (which is not vulgar, unlike today's divas like J.Lo), her voice, her hair."

Géraldine (France) on Rita Hayworth
"Passion, beauty, sadness, freedom."

Indra (Mexico) on Rita Hayworth
"Most beautiful woman ever and ever. No one will top her no matter what other people vote. Some of us have seen the light and can see that Rita is the summit of beauty."

Don (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Talent, absolute beauty, refreshing presence... almost the girl next door charm."

Margarita (Argentina) on Rita Hayworth
"Do you have to ask? There never ever was a woman more beautiful, gorgeous, radiant than her. We all wish to look like that."

Walter (Canada) on Rita Hayworth
"She was like a Monroe with brains. Her beauty, grace and poise had few rivals and she could dance too! She was the complete embodiment of what god intended all women should be with a sensual sultriness that was still accessible. Too bad I was born too late and in the wrong arena."

Raja (The Lebanon) on Rita Hayworth
"She combines beauty with sex appeal, happiness with a tinge of sadness and vulnerability. She gives pleasure to the eye and the heart."

Leticia (Mexico) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she was such a wonderful and talented actress and because she was a true diva."

Lillian (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I just loved the way she looked. I loved her as a redhead. Red is my favorite color. The way she dances on the screen really enchants me. She's like a fire and a rose, the rose of her beauty and the fire and passion of men who loved her. And she helped our soldiers during world war two. She's not like any other actresses. She wasn't giddy like Marilyn Monroe, but she was vulnerable like Marilyn. She never found lasting love. And then Alzheimer's took her life but not her legacy. Thank you, Princess Yasmine Aga Khan, for finding and making people aware of the symptoms of Alzheimer's. Love you, Rita.
I wished you had lived longer to know that I'm your fan and a new generation of fans like me."

Coram (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth is extraordinarily lovely,  talented and expressive, that's undeniable.  But there's an extra that makes her my favorite Hollywood diva: that's her childlike vulnerability.  You just want to take her in your arms--not necessarily as a lover, but first and foremost as a good friend--and comfort her.  Not to criticize other divas, but often their beauty and poise are icy and remote.  You look at Rita, even half a century later, and she's so immediate and emotional that she goes right into your heart!  As the lady herself said at the end of Gilda, "Isn't it wonderful?""

Marc (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"... cause she is the most beautiful woman in the world and she reminds me of another girl like her that I loved too."

Souhami (France) on Rita Hayworth
"She's great in Gilda."

Jessica (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Even as an older woman--perhaps especially as an older woman--there was a warmth and generosity to her face. And what she brought to red hair!"

Tracy (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She's classy, beautiful, talented, graceful, and seemed like she was a very nice person. She seemed to care a great deal about her family."

Rita (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Besides being the most beautiful she was a fantastic dancer."

Brian (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I knew her as a kid in the neighborhood near Hartford where her home was. Although she was shy, and reserved, we had some great talks that effected the rest of my life in a positive way. I think that she sure got a bad rap in the press through the last years of her life and I just want people who knew her as I did and the ones who never knew her how special she was and how much she did for the movie industry and how it not only furthered dance but gave the men during World War Two someone to idolize and fight for.

She has her own signature style and doesn't need a famous label in her dress or on her jeans to prove who she is. A true Diva is Rita Hayworth."

Nicole (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"... because Rita was unique in her talent and beauty. She was just an incredible actress."

Gabrielle (Ireland) on Rita Hayworth
"She just had that something!"

Ed (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Elegant, charming, sophisticated, and she looks like a real person... not some Hollywood fantasy."

Duckit (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"What a beauty she was!"

Inés (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she was the most beautiful actress in the world. And she was fantastic, like her daughter Yasmin."

Jeff (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"The sweet sultry look and the way she acted. She was beautiful and always will be!"

Chas (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita personified class and beauty."

Dennis (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She explodes like an atomic bomb every time she is on screen."

Richard (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"The best all around actress. I don't know why this would be a surprise, just look at her. Dancing, singing, acting. Plus, if you look at the gallery on this site: whew, what a collage! That alone should tell you something, heh? Good luck, Mrs. (Cansino) Hayworth."

Nathalie (France) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she's wonderful. She seems so naturally tragic. Every man falls in love with her, and yet she doesn't seem to have to do anything to achieve that."

J.M. (UK) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth was beautiful, talented and was never fully appreciated. She was never really given enough credit for her work, people assumed that the men who surrounded her created her. Unfortunately, she was struck down not by circumstances of her own making (as so many seem to be) but by a horrible disease which she could neither stop or control. However, she still managed to remain a beautiful and sweet lady."

Jim (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I can think of no other star who could sing - dance - act - and just look absolutely stunning. She was Hollywood's first princess... she could do anything and was a shy natural person in real life. She never threw her stardom at people... that is why anyone who ever worked on her set loved her so much... from grips to make-up men. She was a true professional."

Peter (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She was not only alluring, beautiful and sexy she could act, sing (though Harry Cohn wouldn't let her), dance like no other... and she, not Kelly was Hollywood's first real life princess. Name an actress who could do all that!"

Ionel (Germany) on Rita Hayworth
"I must admit I haven't seen her in all her movies, not even the majority, still her face struck me from the very beginning. It is warm, sensitive and her eyes have a magical hidden side to them. Whichever pose she assumes I can always imagine the 'real', shy, kind and loving nature. After reading her biography I fell even deeper in love with her eyes and I thought about how cruel life really is: the only real accomplishment she left behind are her the two daughters. For the rest she only had brutes in her life, knew love too shortly and finally died of an infamous disease. I dream about going back in time to the late 1930's and meet her and give her all I have: love, life and mind. PS: Unfortunately I do have a rational side of me that keeps pestering me about the unreality of all this. I keep saying to myself that I'm gray, standing between the light of my rational logic and the deep darkness of emotions, yet with one escape: my coloured dreams."

Shannon (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She has style and beauty and red hair. She's not perfect, but she knows how to showoff!
That's what makes you beautiful."

Greg (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"My granddad talked of her beauty and talent all the time before he died. Plus I find her more beautiful then Marilyn Monroe."

Pauline (Canada) on Rita Hayworth
"She was so beautiful, elegant, a great dancer and a great actress."

Mariana (Brazil) on Rita Hayworth
"Not only could she dance beautifully but also the image that she presents to me is that she didn't act like a star at all. She seemed to treat every one the same way Yey Rita!"

Cristina (Italy) on Rita Hayworth
"... because when I was a child and watched her the first time in "Gilda", she became my "dream woman!"  All during my adolescence I wanted to be like her... she's the most feminine diva in the history of cinema."

Rod (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Most beautiful woman to ever approach Hollywood. Lots of sex in a really small package."

Jack (Ireland) on Rita Hayworth
"... because she is pure magnetism on the screen and god she was beautiful! Her charisma and ability to take over the screen, the lasting impression she makes on you after watching her. She was pure class and one in a million!"

Rick (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"What a face!"

Betty (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"A beautiful lady and great dancing skills. I love a great dancer."

Matt (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"A stunning and timeless beauty!"

Marilyn) on Rita Hayworth
"I have been a fan for many years, and I watch her movies over and over, I never tire of seeing her gorgeous face. I loved her for years and still think of her often."

Eduard (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"She was such a beauty, and her role in Gilda was fantastic. I wish I could have met her. In fact, I'm too young but I think she is the sexiest woman that has ever been."

Anna (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Her nature was as beautiful as her face."

Cynthia) on Rita Hayworth
"She can act, she can sing and she can dance, And she is so beautiful!"

L.G. (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is a great person!"

Kathleen (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is just sooooo cool. I've liked her since I was 7, I'm 14 now. She could dance like nobody's business and she was a really good actress. My fav movie is probably 'You were never lovelier' or 'Cover girl'. I wish she had had a better life - hers really sucked."  

Tom (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita is Gilda to many of her fans. Her skillful acting was overpowered by her sexual allure and she was underrated. However, there will never be another 'Love Goddess.'"

Rose (Belgium) on Rita Hayworth
"Just look at her!"

Jacki (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita Hayworth is my favorite diva because she was a wonderful actress and drop dead gorgeous and if any one saw her in 'Gilda' I think you'll agree with me! And Rita was also a beautiful dancer!"

Odalis (Venezuela) on Rita Hayworth
"She was a wonderful woman, just for this reason she is my favorite!"

Luis (Spain) on Rita Hayworth
"I have never seen such a magnificent star on the screen. She had something that can't be explained with works. She was unique."

Mark (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I have never seen a woman who is more all-around beautiful than Rita Hayworth. In 1947, Life Magazine dubbed her a love goddess. Nobody has been worthy of that name since."

Bob (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She had it all ... class, looks, demeanor, talent, personality, etc."

Drake (Brazil) on Rita Hayworth
"She gives me good moments. She was a beautiful woman, charismatic."

Peter (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She was the most beautiful of all the stars and she, like no other actress before or since could act, dance, sing, if they let her. She, not Grace Kelly, was the first American actress to become a princess and everyone who ever worked with her said she was the nicest unassuming star of them all and that came from all the people behind the cameras. Need I go on? She wasn't the most beautiful, but she certainly was beautiful, she wasn't the best dancer but she was among the best, she wasn't the best actress but she certainly could act, and she was the first American actress to become a true life Princess! What other actress can you say that about? None!"

Norman (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita is the first woman I fell in love with. The year was 1946, the film was Gilda, she was 28-years-old and I was nine. I've never been the same since."

Randy (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Fav Diva is an understatement to describe Rita.  She was the only woman to have a nuclear bomb named after her leading character - Gilda! She was the first American woman to become a princess (no it wasn't Grace Kelly). Her look is timeless. Her slender features in many of her photos look like they were shot just yesterday. Despite emotional problems she had to battle that were no fault of her own, she still triumphed over them to become an icon. She is the paragon classic film beauty."

Jessica (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"I just love her sense of style, her tremendous talent and her great beauty. The way she presented herself in the movies and in public just put a spell on the people around her."

Kirandeep (India) on Rita Hayworth
"She was very beautiful and a good dancer."

Edward (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Besides being one of the most beautiful women of the century, she was a wonderful dancer and possessed a natural animal magnetism, sex appeal and confidence, together with a vulnerability and shyness, that to me was what audiences responded to and found so appealing. It has never been equaled in my opinion.  I believe her acting ability was underrated.  Had she not been stricken with Alzheimer's when she was, I feel she could have really proven herself in this department rather than being known mainly as "The Love Goddess".  As it was, in her later years, she received excellent reviews for her acting (Miss Sadie Thompson, Separate Tables, Story On Page One, They Came To Cordura, The Money Trap and Road To Salina) as examples. There will never be another Rita!"

Peacham (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Rita was the most beautiful actress to ever grace the screen. She was sexy, funny, gutsy and in control. I also have a weakness for redheads."

Burcu (Turkey) on Rita Hayworth
"She is the best because when you watch her you feel what she feels ...and of course she is so beautiful. I'm glad I'm not a boy because I would fall in love with her."

Emile (Australia) on Rita Hayworth
"She has always been my dream-girl as long as I can remember."

Beck (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She is only the most perfect and timeless beauty.  Sweet, caring, and delicate ...  Completely ethereal!"

Julia (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"The most amazing face and the most beautiful voice."

Phil (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Her beautiful hair, smile, and the wonderful way she would glide along the dance floor."

President of the Fan Club (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"'... because I'm president of the Fan Club. Fundraisers  for Alzheimer's. She was world-class beauty ... but, oh so Man dependant. That was the style back then."

Anne (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Why? Simply a drop dead stunning, glamourous woman."

Alex (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"Best Actress/Dancer/Star Hollywood ever had!"

Tom (USA) on Rita Hayworth
"She's beautiful."
