Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth danced in New York before her family moved to California when she was ten years old. Back in the 1930s, she appeared in a lot of dancing movies before she branched out into doing more serious roles in the 1940s. The next decade unfortunately became more difficult for Hayworth because of personal issues. As she spiraled into money problems and alcohol, younger women got the chance to take the spotlight from her. For decades, she suffered from symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease until she passed away in 1987.
