This a is a somewhat of an example of my rant below. Rita Hayworth, one of our greatest screen goddesses, was born Margarita Cansino and trained as a dancer by her Spanish dancer father. While she landed a Fox contract at 16, she was dropped after five small roles. It was only because her first husband Edward Judson got her a new contract at Columbia that the shy, black-haired dancer with the far too low hairline got a new name, electrolysis treatment and became the red-haired Rita Hayworth. She could just as easily have been one of the great talents that didn't get recognized, that Fate didn't smile on, and Margarita Cansino might have remained a quiet, unassuming dancer in small clubs in California. If that happened, we would never have been gifted with someone as incredibly beautiful and astonishingly talented as Rita Hayworth.
