Rita Hayworth was one of the original bombshells of Hollywood and her career had men catcalling for more than three decades. Hayworth first achieved notoriety as a femme fatale in “Gilda” and her famous hair-flip cemented her as a sex symbol for the ages. Though she never won any major awards—she was only nominated once for a Golden Globe—she still earned the adoration of millions of fans for her iconic roles in “Cover Girl,” “The Lady from Shanghai,” and “The Loves of Carmen,” which coincidentally is her real middle name.
