Born Margarita Carmen Cansino, she spent her life subjected to others' definitions of her, no matter how hard she worked to claim her own identity. Although there have been many "revelations" about her life and career, Adrienne McLean's book is the first to show that such disclosures were part of a constructed image from the outset. McLean explores Hayworth's participation in the creation of her star persona, particularly through her work as a dancer-a subject ignored by most film scholars. The passive love goddess, as it turns out, had a unique appeal to other women who, like her, found it extraordinarily difficult to negotiate the competing demands of family, domesticity, and professional work outside the home. Being Rita Hayworth also considers the ways in which the actress has been treated by film scholarship over the years to accomplish its own goals, sometimes at her expense. Several of Hayworth's best-known star vehicles-among them Gilda (1946), Down to Earth (1947), The Lady from Shanghai (1948), and Affair in Trinidad (1952)- are discussed in depth.

Screenwriter/producer James Hill was Rita Hayworth's fifth and last husband. When love bloomed, and though marriage soon followed, the relationship was doomed. Hill wanted to revitalize Rita's career--getting her a serious role in Separate Tables, pairing her with Gary Cooper in They Came to Cordura, and obsessively pushing her to reveal her comedienne talents to the world. Rita, on the other hand, preferred reading and painting and quiet--finally revealing her utter lack of interest in movies-of all varieties. Hill thought to rescue her from the "sharks" of the film business but found that he too was using her. There are a few intriguing movie making details and copious anecdotage in this often-gushy, likable-yet-murky view of the star herself. Not the usual star-bio by a long shot--with only intermittent appeal for the legion of Hayworth fans.
