Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth, a luminous figure in Hollywood's golden era, navigated through a series of marriages that were as headline-grabbing as her illustrious career. She first wed Edward C. Judson, only to leave him for the legendary Orson Welles—a choice many could hardly fault her for. In a move that stirred controversy, Welles directed Hayworth in "The Lady from Shanghai," for which he persuaded her to dramatically alter her iconic look, cutting her long red hair and dying it blonde.
Hayworth's search for love didn't end with Welles; she subsequently married Prince Aly Khan, actor Dick Haymes, and producer James Hill. Her marriage to Welles proved to be her longest, lasting six years. Hayworth's legacy, which extended beyond her death in 1986, was cemented in popular culture through Stephen King's "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption," ensuring her immortal status in both film and literature.
