Rita Hayworth Fast Facts:

Was billed as Rita Cansino as early as 12 years old, but didn't change her last name to Hayworth, a variation of her mother's maiden name, until the 1937 film Criminals of the Air.
Career soared after the release of a 1941 Life magazine issue that featured a seductive photo of her, which would later become a favorite pin-up for World War II servicemen.
Was labeled "The Love Goddess," but in reality was considered shy and an introvert.
In his 1959 autobiography, Steps in Time, dance legend Fred Astaire wrote that she was his favorite dance partner.
Suffered for years with a mysterious illness, but was finally diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1980, a little-known disease at the time.
