Listen to Rita Hayworth and husband Orson Welles perform Break of Hearts for Lux Radio Theatre. Rita plays Ann opposite Orson’s Franz in the play, which was presented by Cecil B. DeMille on September 11, 1944. The couple had just celebrated their first anniversary! The last clip features a short but never the less interesting interview with them. Many thanks to YouTube user ‘TallulahDahling’ for uploading these! |
 I am working on a new feature for the site, one that I am very, very excited about. It will contain information and photos on various locations related to Rita Hayworth’s life and career, such as the places where she lived and worked at. However, because I am located in Europe myself and unable to travel to Los Angeles for the time being, I am looking for contributions especially from Hayworth fans who are located in LA or been fortunate enough to visit Rita related spots around LA and the US in general. So, if you’ve visited any Rita Hayworth related places, such as her homes, filming locations or studios or simply have details or photos on any such locations, please do not hesitate to get in touch! All contributions are much appreciated and will be credited accordingly. |

I’ve moved things around the gallery a little bit as I came to the conclusion that it would be easier to navigate if I moved the relationship and family photos in their own categories. The changes have been made and new photos have been uploaded in many of the albums. Rita always looked her happiest when among her family, especially her two daughters, so do brighten up your day by looking at the lovely imagery.           |

I have updated the gallery with more high quality images from Vincent Sherman’s film noir, Affair in Trinidad (1952), which stars Rita as Chris Emery and her great leading man, Glenn Ford, as Steve Emery.      |
