Rita Hayworth, born Margarita Carmen Cansino on October 17, 1918, in Brooklyn, New York, was a prominent actress and dancer who became one of the biggest stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Her journey from a young girl in a working-class family to an iconic movie star exemplifies the transformative power of the Hollywood studio system. The image of her at a nightclub in Hollywood, likely from 1939, captures her in a moment of glamour and sophistication that would define her legacy.

Rita’s early life was deeply influenced by her family’s artistic background. Her father, Eduardo Cansino, was a Spanish dancer, and her mother, Volga Hayworth, was an American actress. This exposure to the performing arts fostered her interest in dance and entertainment from a young age. By the time she was a teenager, Hayworth had already begun performing in her father’s dance troupe, and she quickly caught the eye of Hollywood scouts.
