Rita Hayworth: Beautiful Picture and a Fun Quote

May 17, 2022 By Joi

Rita Hayworth

Rita Hayworth

“After all, a girl is . . . well, a girl. It’s nice to be told you’re successful at it.” ~ Rita Hayworth

Rita Hayworth has been one of my favorite actresses since I saw her in You Were Never Lovelier on tv as a teenager. She’s one of the first stars (along with other top tier favorites Maureen O’Hara, Lucille Ball, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, and John Wayne) that caused me to fall so completely under old Hollywood’s spell.

Over the years since my teens (I’m in my fabulous 50s, so it’s been a hot minute!), Maureen, Lucille, James, the Duke, Henry, and Rita have remained at the top of my favorites. None of them have, in any way, fallen off. Other favorites have joined them, mind you, as I’ve seen more films – but, whereas many people refer to stars who “used to be” favorites but no longer are, these first favorites are still among my dearest favorites.

Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, Behind the Scenes of Gilda (1946)

Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford - Behind the Scenes Gilda

Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford

Some days I only have enough time to throw a picture in your direction and hope you love it. This is one of those days, so I’ve chosen a photo with Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford.

No way you can’t love it! That’s what we call hedging our bets, y’all.

This is a photo of the two fan-favorites behind the scenes of their 1946 film-noir Gilda, directed by Charles Vidor.

You can find Gilda (link to the dvd or blu-ray on Amazon) on dvd on Amazon or watch the movie on Prime Video.

Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles, The Lady from Shanghai

Rita Hayworth, The Lady from Shanghai Rita Hayworth, The Lady from Shanghai

I don’t post many photos from or information about The Lady from Shanghai and I honestly have no idea why! Rita Hayworth gives such a wonderful performance in the film – truth be told, I love her performance more than I do the movie, itself. She’s truly remarkable in it.

The 1947 film-noir was based on a novel by Sherwood King and was directed by Orson Welles, who also wrote the screenplay and stars alongside Rita.

While Rita and Orson are most certainly the stars of the show, the drama also includes Everett Sloane, Ted de Corsia, and Glenn Anders.

You can find The Lady from Shanghai on dvd or Blu-ray (Amazon link) or watch the drama unfold on Prime Video.

Rita Hayworth, My Gal Sal Promotional Photos (LOVE these!)

Rita Hayworth, My Gal Sal

Rita Hayworth

My Gal Sal stars Rita Hayworth, Victor Mature, Carole Landis, John Sutton, James Gleason, and Phil Silvers. It was directed by Irving Cummings and, while it can be difficult to find (it’s never shown on television it seems!), it’s very much worth the effort.

You CAN find My Gal Sal on dvd (Amazon video). Unfortunately it isn’t on Prime Video yet.

Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature in My Gal Sal

Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature in My Gal Sal

Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature

Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature star in the 1942 My Gal Sal, directed by Irving Cummings. I’m always surprised that this film isn’t better known. I mean, it stars Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature – how can it not be more popular?!

The movie also stars Carole Landis, John Sutton, James Gleason, and Phil Silvers.

You can find My Gal Sal on dvd (Amazon video). Unfortunately it isn’t on Prime Video yet. That’s probably a good sign of why the film isn’t better known.. it’s hard to find!

Rita Hayworth: Gorgeous Down to Earth Publicity Picture

December 28, 2021 By Joi

Rita Hayworth, Down to Earth

Rita Hayworth, Down to Earth

Beautiful Rita Hayworth stars in the 1947 film Down to Earth, directed by Alexander Hall. The musical is light-hearted, fun, and quite funny in parts. Make no mistake about it, however, Rita Hayworth and the beautiful costumes are the main stars.

She’s perfectly ethereal in this film… then again, when wasn’t she?!

You can find the Down to Earth dvd on Amazon (with a gorgeous cover, I must say) or watch the film on Prime Video – I’m pleasantly surprised that it’s available.

Howard Hawks, Cary Grant, and Rita Hayworth Behind the Scenes of Only Angels Have Wings

Howard Hawks, Cary Grant, and Rita Hayworth

Love everything about he photo above of Howard Hawks, Cary Grant, and Rita Hayworth behind the scenes of Only Angels Have Wings (1936, directed by Howard Hawks). If you’ve never seen this film, I hope you check it out really soon. The STELLAR cast includes Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth, and Thomas Mitchell and was directed by one of the best in the business, Howard Hawks.

You can buy Only Angels Have Wings on dvd (Amazon link) or watch on Prime Video.

Gorgeous Rita Hayworth Pictures from Down to Earth (1947)

October 28, 2021 By Joi

Rita Hayworth, Down to Earth
Rita Hayworth, Down to Earth

The next dvd I need to add to my Rita Hayworth collection is Down to Earth. I’m anxious to buy it because, truth be told, I’m anxious to watch it again (it’s never on tv!). While, even as a Rita Hayworth fanatic, I can’t claim this is a wonderful movie, it is entertaining. The two leads’ voices are both dubbed – one being Rita Hayworth and the other Larry Parks – and Adele Jergens’ voice is also dubbed. To be honest, dubbed voices always kind of bother me. It seems kind of lazy to not just hire stars who you feel can sing well enough in the first place.

Or… simply allow them to sing whether their voices are perfect or not. After all, most people don’t sound like Shirley Jones or Harry Belafonte when they sing!

This was actually Rita’s least favorite of her films, and usually not a hit with critics or fans BUT if you take it for what it is, a fun glitzy, visually beautiful film that’s lighthearted and has some really funny moments, you’ll think it’s a little hidden gem.

You can find the Down to Earth dvd on Amazon or watch the film on Prime Video.

Happy Birthday to the Wonderful Rita Hayworth!

October 17, 2021 By Joi

Rita Hayworth, Gilda Promotional Picture

Rita Hayworth, Gilda

The beautiful, multitalented, iconic, and perfectly wonderful in every way Rita Hayworth was born on this day in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1918. This incredible actress is one of the stars I CANNOT imagine old Hollywood without. She was so much more than just an uncommonly beautiful actress – she was incredibly talented. She could do drama, comedy, musicals, film-noir and make it look effortless.

Amazingly enough, she was also one of the best dancers ever to hit Hollywood. How wonderful was she? Guess who Fred Astaire named as his favorite dancing partner? That’s right… Rita Hayworth. If you’ve never seen You Were Never Lovelier, their wonderful musical from 1942, I hope you find it soon. It’s one of my favorite musicals of ALL TIME – it’s extraordinary, and so is Rita.

Happy Heavenly birthday to one of the reasons I love old Hollywood as much as I do. I promise to always do my part to keep your face and name alive and well!

You can find Gilda and You Were Never Lovelier on dvd (Amazon link – be sure to look at the different price options! They run from $12 to over $50… I’m going for the $12 one!). You can also watch Gilda on Prime Video.

Welcome to Hollywood Yesterday!

Maureen O'Hara, Makeup Picture

Maureen O’Hara
My name is Joi (“Joy”) and I created Hollywood Yesterday as my personal tribute to Old Hollywood. It’s my effort to help keep the stars from Old Hollywood, Classic Television, and Old Radio Shows alive and shining forever. Old Hollywood was positively magical and I see no reason for the magic to ever die.

Be warned, I am (by nature) overtly positive, I never take anything too seriously, I say extraordinary so often you’d think I invented the word, and I overuse exclamation points to distraction. I’m perpetually over-caffeinated.. we’ll blame that.

Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland, The Adventures of Robin Hood

My main goal with Hollywood Yesterday is to keep the names, faces, and films of the stars that mean so much to me shining brightly. When I’m guilty of focusing more time on my personal favorites (such as Olivia de Havilland) than other stars, I hope you’ll forgive me. I am, by all indications, very human!

Also, please know that I try to keep my posts (except for book reviews) short and to the point, so you can enjoy the pictures, grab the information, and get back to your life. I don’t appreciate anything that’s overly wordy, so I don’t want to do that to others. For better or worse, I write as I talk, so if you ever feel like you’re reading the words of someone who’s a cross between Lucy Ricardo, Daisy Duck, and a Jerry Lewis character, that’s just because you are!

Wait. What did I just admit to?? 

Barbara Stanwyck Quotes

Another personal absolute favorite of mine is Barbara Stanwyck. Not only was she beautiful and outrageously talented, she was exceptionally bright, charismatic, and colorful. This growing collection of Barbara Stanwyck Quotes will give you an idea of just how colorful she was!
