Rita Hayworth Net Worth $10 Million

Rita Hayworth was the oldest child of Volga Hayworth and Eduardo Cansino, Sr., both dancers. Rita grew up in New York with her younger brothers Eduardo Cansino, Jr. and Vernon Cansino; her parents hoped she would become a dancer or actress, and that’s why her father moved the family to Hollywood in 1927.

In Los Angeles, Eduardo established a dancing studio and worked with such icons as James Cagney and Jean Harlow, while in 1931 he and Rita performed together as the Dancing Cansinos. Hayworth went to Hamilton High in Los Angeles, but never finished high school, pursuing an acting career instead. In 1934, Rita debuted on-screen in the movie called “Cruz Diablo”, and then appeared in such films as “Charlie Chan in Egypt” (1935) and “Human Cargo” (1936), before she decided to take her mother’s maiden name, Hayworth. From then on, she wasn’t credited as Rita Cansino, and it was an opportunity for her to secure better roles in Hollywood. Rita also changed her appearance, as she dyed her hair to dark red.

She continued with roles in the romantic drama “Criminals of the Air” (1937), then the mystery drama “Who Killed Gail Preston?” (1938), and in the Academy Award- nominated “Only Angels Have Wings” (1939) alongside Cary Grant and Jean Arthur. Hayworth’s popularity rose in the early ‘40s, as she starred in the Oscar Award-nominated “Music in My Heart” (1940) with Tony Martin, and alongside Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in the Oscar Award-nominated “Angels Over Broadway” (1940). Soon enough she was receiving lead roles, and as a result, Rita had lead parts in Oscar Award-nominated or winning films such as “The Strawberry Blonde” (1941) with James Cagney, “Blood and Sand” (1941) and “You’ll Never Get Rich” (1941) alongside Fred Astaire.

The ‘40s were the most prominent years of Rita’s career, as she appeared in the Oscar Award-winning “My Gal Sal” (1942) with Victor Mature, “Tales of Manhattan” (1942) and Oscar Award-nominated “You Were Never Lovelier” (1942) starring Fred Astaire. Hayworth stayed busy with the Oscar Award-winning “Cover Girl” (1944) alongside Gene Kelly, and Oscar Award-nominated “Tonight and Every Night” (1945). By the end of the ‘40s, Rita had also played in “Gilda” (1946) – one of her most memorable performances – “The Lady from Shanghai” (1947) with Orson Welles, and in Oscar Award-nominated “The Loves of Carmen” (1948). The commercial success of Hayworth’s movies helped her to increase her net worth significantly.

However, her career began to falter in the ‘50s, but she managed to get roles in such films as the Oscar Award-nominated “Affair in Trinidad” (1952), and “Miss Sadie Thompson” (1953). Four years later she featured in “Pal Joey” (1957) alongside Frank Sinatra and Kim Novak, while in 1958 she had a role in the Award-winning “Separate Tables” (1958) with Deborah Kerr and David Niven. Her career continued to decline, but in 1964 Hayworth earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for “Circus World” (1964) with John Wayne, and then appeared in “The Rover” (1967) alongside Anthony Quinn, and in “The Bastard” (1968). Her latest films were the dramas “The Naked Zoo” (1970), and “Road to Salina” (1970), and western “The Wrath of God” (1972) starring Robert Mitchum and Frank Langella, so her net worth continued consistently during her career.

Regarding her personal life, Rita Hayworth had five marriages and divorces behind her, firstly to Charles Holmgren Judson from 1937 to 1942, then to Orson Welles in 1943 with whom she had a child before their divorce in 1948. The following year she married Prince Aly Khan, and had one child with him, but they divorced in 1953.

Hayworth then married Dick Haymes the same year, but that lasted only two years, before she married James Hill in 1958, but divorced in 1961. Rita had a problem with alcohol addiction throughout her career, and after both of her brothers died within a week in 1974, she started to drink heavily. Her Alzheimer’s wasn’t diagnosed until 1980, and she died seven years later, in May 1987 in Manhattan, New York,

1	Movies were much better in the days I was doing them.
2	Dancing in Tijuana when I was 13--that was my 'summer camp.' How else do you think I could keep up with Fred Astaire when I was 19?
3	Just because I was married to Aly Khan, people think I'm rich. Well, I'm not. I never got a dime from Aly or from any of my husbands.
4	I always thought that if I ever got good reviews I'd be happy. It's so empty. It's never what I wanted, ever. All I wanted was just what everyone else wants--to be loved.
5	From the time I was three and a half...as soon as I could stand on my own feet, I was given dance lessons.
6	Every actor. every director, everybody needs an Oscar. You have to have that little statue in Hollywood or else you are nothing.
7	When you're in love, you are living, you matter.
8	I guess the only jewels of my life were the pictures I made with Fred Astaire.
9	I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.
10	What ever you write about me, don't make it sad.
11	Old age--that's when a woman takes vitamins A through G, and still looks like H.
12	When I look back on my marriages, or the breakups, sure I know the pain I went through, but that's part of life and it has its own value.
13	I've had a lot of unhappiness in my life--and a lot of happiness. Who doesn't? Maybe I've learned enough to be able to guide my daughters.
14	[on her divorce from Dick Haymes] I stood by him as long as he was in trouble, but I can't take it any more.
15	[on her marriage to James Hill] He would come in the door, go straight to his room and wouldn't even talk to me all night. He said I was not a nice woman in too loud a voice.
16	[on her husbands] They fell in love with Gilda and woke up with me.
17	I've always been so bored with the empty stuff I've had to play. But I've always been happiest when I've had a definite character slant to a role.
18	Sensitive, shy -- of course I was. The fun of acting is to become someone else.
19	[on her marriage to Edward Judson] I married him for love; he married me for an investment. My husband was always finding fault with me. He was extremely jealous and quarrelsome. I never had any fun. I was never permitted to make any decisions. From the first he told me I couldn't do anything for myself. My personality crawled deeper and deeper into a shell.
20	All the action in the screenplay for Separate Tables (1958) took place in a seaside hotel in England, which was a mecca for tourists in the summer and a haven for the desperate and lonely in the winter.
21	Orson Welles was trying something new with me on The Lady from Shanghai (1947) but Harry Cohn wanted The Image -- The Image he was going to make me until I was 90.
22	Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.
23	I didn't like dancing very much, but I didn't have the courage to tell my father, so I began taking the lessons. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. That was my girlhood.
24	I couldn't get used to the New York weather. On one occasion, I was laid up for a week because I caught a severe cold rushing from the dance studio, still soaked with perspiration, back to the hotel for voice lessons.
25	I was never sick during The Lady from Shanghai (1947). Poor Orsie [Orson Welles] was the one who was sick; Harry Cohn made him sick.
26	Who wouldn't prefer having breakfast in bed to getting up at the crack of dawn and having a cup of coffee in a studio makeup department?
27	I was certainly a well-trained dancer. I'm a good actress: I have depth. I have feeling. But they don't care. All they want is the image.
28	I rode on horseback, though I was terrified of them. That was when I was doing westerns. They were something else again. And I did them because that was work, that was my job. So I don't start from the top.
29	I wanted to study singing, but Harry Cohn kept saying, "Who needs it?" and the studio wouldn't pay for it. They had me so intimidated that I couldn't have done it anyway. They always said, "Oh, no, we can't let you do it. There's no time for that; it has to be done right now!" I was under contract, and that was it.
30	[on why she divorced Orson Welles] I can't take his genius any more.
31	[early in her career about husband Eddie Judson] I owe everything to Ed. I could never have made the grade in Hollywood without him. I was just too backward. My whole career was his idea.
32	Increasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today's starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses.
33	After all, a girl is... well, a girl. It's nice to be told you're successful at it.
34	We are all tied to our destiny and there is no way we can liberate ourselves.
35	No one can be Gilda 24 hours a day.
36	Basically, I am a good, gentle person, but I'm attracted to mean personalities.
37	Every actor, every director, everybody needs an Oscar. You have to have that little statue in Hollywood, or else you're nothing!
38	The fun of acting is to become someone else.
39	I think all women have a certain elegance about them which is destroyed when they take off their clothes.
40	What surprises me in life are not the marriages that fail, but the marriages that succeed.
41	All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.
42	[1974, when asked what she thought when she looks at herself after waking up in the morning] Darling, I don't wake up 'til the afternoon.
43	I never really thought of myself as a sex goddess; I felt I was more a comedian who could dance.
44	[when asked what had held up her dress in Gilda (1946)] Two things.
45	I haven't had everything from life. I've had too much.
46	[To writer Virginia Van Upp] Every man I have ever known has fallen in love with Gilda and awakened with me.

#	Fact
1	In 1989, Barbara Leaming published an autobiographical book entitled 'If This Was Happiness: A Biography of Rita Hayworth'. In the book, Leaming alleged that Hayworth was a victim of sexual abuse by her own father. Leaming asserts that Hayworth confided that secret to Orson Welles who said of his ex-wife, "If this was happiness, imagine what the rest of her life had been", which Leaming then took for the title of her book. Among other things, Leaming believes Hayworth's subsequent destructive marriages, love affairs, the long, drawn-out custody suit for Yasmin amid charges of child neglect-which, apparently, were true-and her battles with Columbia Pictures were in part precipitated by the feelings of betrayal and guilt that color the life of incest victims.
2	Rita Hayworth appeared in nine films in 1937. She was billed as Rita Cansino in three of them and she was uncredited in one.
3	Inducted into the Hair Fan's Hall of Fame in 2013.
4	In World War II, YANK magazine was published weekly by the U.S. Army for all branches of the U.S. military. The writers were enlisted men and they wrote stories about World War II and sketched cartoons poking fun at service life like G.I Joe and Sad Sack. As a "morale booster," one of the most popular parts of the magazine were photos of a pin-up girl usually clad in a bathing suit or some form of seductive attire. Rita Hayworth's picture appeared in the 7 July 1944 edition of the magazine.
5	In the 1960s, Hayworth told the readers of Spanish-language magazine Cinemundo, "I loved the movies of Dolores Del Rio, and also Lupe Velez...I didn't fantasize that I would ever become a star like them, but I also didn't think I couldn't make it with the name I was born with.".
6	In 1923, the Cansinos performed in the two act Broadway musical "The Greenwich Village Follies" at the Winter Garden Theatre, 1634 Broadway in New York City. The Cansinos consisted of Eduardo, his brother Angel, his wife Volga and his 5-year-old daughter Rita. The musical ran for 140 performances from September 20, 1923 to January 1924.
7	In October 1976, Rita accepted an invitation to appear on an Buenos Aires, Argentina TV station paying homage to her long career. At this time, there was political unrest in the county and the U.S. ambassador had cabled Washington advising the State Department that local terrorists would stage a "grenade attack" as Rita left her hotel. While in Buenos Aires, Rita was surrounded by security guards. Upon reaching the hotel from the airport, Rita opened the shades on a window and a bomb exploded in the park across the street. Several days later, an office building exploded about 10-feet (3.048-meters) from the car she was riding in. Fortunately she was not injured in either event.
8	Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth starred in the 1942 film "You Were Never Lovelier" and rehearsed the dance sequences in a nearby funeral parlor because there wasn't adequate room at Columbia Studios. In his biography, Astaire wrote, "Keeping the laughs going during the intervals was a part of the day's work and I always tried to think up some gag to play on Rita. In one instance I called out, 'Well-here we go-I'm beginning to like this place-it doesn't get me down any more, I'm used to it-ready, Rita?' Up jumped Rita at once and came to me to start our first step together. As I took hold of her two arms she let out one scream and backed away. I had just dipped both my hands and arms in a bucket of ice which we kept for soda bottles. That broke up rehearsals for a half hour or so.".
9	For her appearance in the 1941 film "The Strawberry Blonde," Rita Hayworth was paid $6,500 ($106,499.63 in 2016 dollars), at a weekly rate of $927.85 ($15,202.41 in 2016 dollars) for seven guaranteed weeks of work.
10	In May 1951, Rita Hayworth moved to Glenview, Nevada on Lake Tahoe to establish legal residence so she could divorce Aly Khan. (Nevada law stated that you must have legal residence for a six month period.) While in Nevada, Rita took up golf and became a avid golfer for life and when she had time, she played at country clubs in California. She said, "I've played courses all over the world, including Japan. I ran into Bob Hope on the Irish and Scottish links, and in Spain, Skip Hathaway and I played a little bit.".
11	During World War II, Rita made a single USO tour and managed to visit six military camps giving thousands of autographs before coming back from Texas, where she was reported to have nervous breakdown that was full fledged due to over enthusiasm. She also appeared on a number of radio shows with Bob Hope and Armed Forces Radio Service programs like "Command Performance" (at least five shows), "GI Journal" and "Mail Call." Rita also worked at the Hollywood Canteen which operated at 1451 Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood between October 3, 1942, and November 22, 1945, as a club offering food, dancing and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas. Even though the majority of visitors were U.S servicemen, the canteen was open to servicemen of allied countries as well as women in all branches of service. A serviceman's ticket for admission was his uniform, and everything at the canteen was free of charge. Rita was one of the most beautiful and regular volunteers who donated their services at the Hollywood Canteen by serving food and dancing with the servicemen. She also became active in collecting scrap metal, as well as promoting war bonds for the war effort. For Rita Hayworth, just like the other starlets in performing for the U.S. soldiers in different capacities, the task were at times overwhelming making them to be fatigued and break down.

She attended the Carthay School in Los Angeles where she had parts in a few school plays and found her first acting role when she was 11-years-old in a stage prologue for the movie "Back Street" at the Carthay Circle Theater. She then spent one year at Alexander Hamilton High School before, in ninth grade, her schooling was halted when she became her father's dancing partner.
13	In 1977, Rita Hayworth went to England and later to Italy where she accepted The Rudolph Valentino Award in Bari. Margo Hammond wrote in "Variety" magazine, "After a dramatic entrance up the center aisle of the opera house amid flashing spotlights, strains of Richard Strauss's 'Thus Spake Zarathustra' and thunderous applause, a dazed Rita accepted the award telling the audience: 'This is the happiest moment of my life.' ".
14	Rita Hayworth married Aly Khan on May 17, 1949 in a civil ceremony and May 28, 1949. The Khan family was heavily involved in horse racing, owning and racing horses.

Costume designer Jean Louis created the custom gown (which required a corset and custom harness) and helped cement the concept of a femme fatale.
17	Claudia Cardinale and Rita Hayworth starred in the 1964 film "Circus World." Ms. Cardinale said: "During the shooting of "Circus World", I was in my trailer taking a break when Rita showed up in tears. She looked me in the eye and sobbed: 'Once upon a time, I was beautiful too.' She moved me so much that I started to cry too. She was magnificent! She had this nostalgic side to her that made her all the more charming.".
18	During the 1944 Presidential campaign, Rita Hayworth was one of the nearly 50 Hollywood celebrities that endorsed President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

20	In 1977, Rita Hayworth accepted The National Screen Heritage Award at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Prior to the ceremony, Gene Kelly went to Rita's suite but nobody saw him come down.
21	James Hill, in his 1983 book "Rita Hayworth: A Memoir," indicated that their marriage--her fifth and final, his only--fell apart because he forced Hayworth to continue making movies when she wanted both of them to retire from the Hollywood hubbub, enabling her to paint and him to write.
22	The choreographer Jack Cole said this of Rita Hayworth: "Rita was a lonely person, you always felt that about her. She'd sit around with the girls during rehearsals, but mostly by herself, not stand-offish, just lonely. But always a lady." He also said, that "She's a Spanish teenager really who's hardly ever grown up. Unless she got somebody around to say 'Don't do this! Don't do that/Eat! Don't eat/If you're bored go to bed, get plastered,' she's like a teenage girl who does whatever amuses her. I like Rita Hayworth, she's a very nice lady. One of the few nice ones in movies to work with.".
23	Jane Withers said the 1935 film "'Paddy O'Day' is one of my favorite movies ... [When making 'Paddy O'Day'] I visited the 'Charlie Chan in Egypt' set next door to me. And on the set was a [16-year-old] beautiful girl who was dancing ballroom with her partner in a film. I was only eight but I felt so strongly about this girl - she was just dynamite. I asked to meet her, her name was Rita Cansino. She was painfully shy. She said 'I just love to dance and I'm just thrilled to be in the movies.' I said,'Have you ever acted?' and she said, 'Oh no, I've never acted, I'm a dancer.' I said, 'You don't need to learn acting, it just has to be in your heart.'" Just before filming started Jane held Rita's hand and prayed with her and that small kind gesture resulted in a lifelong friendship. Withers gave the eulogy at Hayworth's funeral in 1987 and she recalled during the eulogy that Rita Hayworth suffered from stage fright early in her career.

Co-starring with Rita Hayworth in the 1957 film "Pal Joey", Ms. Novak said she loved co-star Rita Hayworth, but not co-star Frank Sinatra, although he and Novak reputedly had an affair years earlier. She said, "I knew Rita Hayworth only enough to know that she was just a tender, sensitive, beautiful human being. A lovely person. Very gentle. She would never stand up for her rights." Commenting on Frank Sinatra, Ms. Novak said, "I felt he was not very fair to Rita Hayworth particularly. He wouldn't show up for dance rehearsals and let her have to go through it all, then he came in the last day and all our work had to be cut because he didn't want to do this or he didn't want to do that. That was so unfair and so unkind, so uncalled for." However, Sinatra insisted that Rita Hayworth get top billing. When someone asked why, Sinatra told newsmen, "To me, Hayworth is Columbia (Pictures). They may have made her a star, but she gave them class.".

He read a passage from ''The Prophet'' by Khalil Gibran in which Miss Hayworth had underlined the words ''I am in the heart of God.''.
27	Rita Hayworth's cook, Dorothy Holmes, stated that "Rita Hayworth's best friend was Dinah Shore, the singer. I loved Dinah, because she had a lovely disposition. Dinah Shore would send a limousine over to Rita's house and she would be chauffeured to Dinah's personal racquet club or golf club, wherever Dinah would share a few friendly drinks.".
28	Rita Hayworth checked into Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, in April 1977 to treat her excessive drinking and improve her mental health. Her friend, Mac Krim, stated that she successfully continued to avoid alcohol after she came home, but based on her behavior caused by the Alzheimer's disease, people still often assumed she was drunk.

Heston wrote in his memoir that the occasion "turned into the single most embarrassing evening of my life", describing how Hill heaped "obscene abuse" on Hayworth until she was "reduced to a helpless flood of tears, her face buried in her hands".

Miss Hayworth's daughters, Rebecca Welles and Princess Yasmin, walked behind the coffin.
32	On May 15, 1987, President Ronald Reagan issued the following statement on the death of Rita Hayworth: "Rita Hayworth was one of our country's most beloved stars. Glamorous and talented, she gave us many wonderful moments on stage and screen and delighted audiences from the time she was a young girl. In her later years, Rita became known for her struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Her courage and candor, and that of her family, were a great public service in bringing worldwide attention to a disease which we all hope will soon be cured. Nancy and I are saddened by Rita's death. She was a friend who we will miss. We extend our deep sympathy to her family.".
33	In February 1987, Rita Hayworth fell into a semi coma and she died three months later in her Central Park West apartment in Manhattan, New York City.
34	In July 1972, she was scheduled to replace Lauren Bacall in the original Broadway musical "Applause" playing at the Palace Theatre in New York City. She changed her mind when she felt she would have insufficient rehearsal time before opening. Anne Baxter replaced her.

Rita was in labor for seven hours and gave birth to a 5.5-pound (2.49-kilogram) girl who was named Yasmin Aga Khan.
39	Pregnant 26-year-old Rita Hayworth entered St. John's Hospital, in Santa Monica, California, on Friday, December 15, 1944. It had been selected because this hospital was known for the privacy it afforded celebrities.
