[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 231742, member: 7"] I could not have said it any better. Hayworth was a beautifully photogenic, and she rode her beauty all the way to the bank. The fact that she was a redhead only heightened her charisma in my personal opinion, and I enjoy how she was willing to take some risks, like bobbing her hair and going blonde for [I]The Lady from Shanghai[/I]. She wasn't quite as attractive with blonde hair, but that's just my thought, but the movie itself was actually pretty good. Anyway, I've always found it odd how Hayworth's career hit the skids after she came back to Hollywood in 1952, after spending four years away while she was married to Prince Aly Khan. Columbia Pictures was rightfully ecstatic when she decided to return, but it just seemed like she had past her prime. Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe were coming into their own and dominated the box office, and within a year or so, Columbia had their own successor, Kim Novak. The magic was simply gone when Rita returned to the U.S., and she never really regained that former glory. One thing a lot of the press noted at the time was how bad they thought she had aged. While I can agree she did look older, I cannot say she wasn't still a very pretty woman, that appeared to be aging graciously, if only for a while. Apparently a fan once said [I]"Oh my god, she looks so old!"[/I] when they saw her at a premiere in the late 1950s. This evidently hurt Hayworth, and she lost some self-confidence.
