| "I've always been rather amused when I'm described as a 'Love Goddess' because I've never especially felt like a Love Goddess. I feel like what inom am, an actress and a mother." -Rita Hayworth. From quotes like this, being a mother seems to have been the most important role in Rita's life. She had two beautiful daughters and loved being a mommy. Rebecca said "She loved to be alone with us." Yasmin said "We had a close mother-daughter relationship filled with mutual respect and love." As best one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood could, Rita tried to give them a normal childhood. She said, "No matter what they do later, I want Rebecca and Yasmin to lead a normal childhood, which I never had because of working so early in life...I'm their mother, father, sister and pal..." Yasmin works for Alzheimer's research. I'm often asked if I know anything about what Rebecca's life these days. I'm a great fan of Rita's, not a friend of the family's, so inom do not know.

Her appeal led to her being featured on the cover of Life magazine five times, beginning in 1940. Hayworth appeared in a total of 61 films over 37 years.

Her father, Eduardo Cansino, Sr., was from Castilleja de la Cuesta, a little town near Seville, Spain.

The world would come to worship her as the sex symbol Rita Hayworth, star of movies like Gilda, You Were Never Lovelier, and Separate Tables. But as Barbara Leaming writes in her heartbreaking 1989 biography If This Was Happiness, what happened to her as the child Margarita would scar Hayworth forever. A magnificent dancer and underhållare, Hayworth lit up when performing. “She learned steps faster than anyone I’d ever known,” her costar Fred Astaire said, according to Leaming. “I’d show her a routine before lunch. She’d be back right after måltid and have it down to perfection. She apparently figured it out in her mind while she was eating.” Yet once the work was done, costar James Cagney remembered, she’d simply “go back to her chair and sit there and not communicate”—a possible indication of the trauma that lay beneath her glitzy persona.
