Une biographie de Rita Hayworth, écrite par bruno Théol, illustrée par Séra, accompagnée de 2 compact discs.
Rita Hayworth domine le cinéma des années 40. Elle représente la Beauté et la sensualité d'un cinéma et d'une époque disparue. Sex-symbol et Femme Fatale, elle incarne le pouvoir éternel de la féminité.
L'aisance de Rita, que Rouben Mamoulian comparait à la maladresse d'actrices tellement plus belles que Rita, mais totalement éclipsées par la présence et la personnalité de Rita, ne peut être ni une simple qualité innée, ni l'unique fruit d'un travail acharné, c'est la combinaison de la nature généreuse de Rita et la volonté d'aller toujours plus loin, toujours mieux qui en ont fait la personnalité la plus admirée de sa génération. Rita n'a jamais été la plus belle, elle a seulement toujours été la plus fascinante. Elle a fasciné des générations de cinéphiles et même si le film n'en valait pas la peine, sa seule présence en a fait un film indispensable à l'histoire du cinéma.
Rita Hayworth dominated films of the Forties. She represented the Beauty and sensuality of filmmaking from another age. As both a sex symbol and a Femme Fatale, she incarnated the eternal power of femininity. Rita acted with ease, and Rouben Mamoulian likened it to the clumsiness of actresses infinitely more beautiful, yet totally eclipsed by Rita's presence and personality; her ease was neither a simple, innate quality, nor the sole fruit of relentless effort - it was the combination of Rita's generous nature and her will to constantly progress, to always do better, and it made her the most admired personality of her generation. Rita was never the most beautiful, but always simply the most fascinating. She fascinated generations of film-buffs and, even if the film didn't deserve it, her very presence was enough to make the film an unavoidable part of cinema history.
