Rita Hayworth was best known for her Hollywood stardom through the 1930s and '40s. Her image of 'the strawberry blonde bombshell' and charismatic sexuality made her a glamour idol and number one pin-up for World War II soldiers. Born in October 1918, Hayworth like many of her Spanish family, trained as a dancer, and under the firm hand of her father rose to stardom from an early age. Her career of 37 years would see her appearing in over 60 films.

Hayworth's career and life were cut short after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1980. She passed away in 1987 aged 68.

This documentary follows the life of Rita Hayworth through her short childhood, her early rise to stardom, her rocky private life of marriages and her unforgettable acting and modelling career.

Bha Rita Hayworth aithnichte mar rionnag ann an Hollywood tro na 1930an agus na 40an. Bha ìomhaigh aice mar "tè ruadh bhrèagha" agus le cho tarraingeach 's a bha i, bha saighdearan an dàrna cogaidh gu math dèidheil oirre. Rugadh i ann an 1918 agus coltach ri tòrr den teaghlach aice às an Spàinn, thrèanaig i na dannsair agus fo làmh chruaidh a h-athar, thoisich an dreuchd aice aig aois gu ma òg. Fad a beatha obrach, bha Rita an sàs ann an 60 film thairis air 37 bliadhna.

Chaidh stad aithghearr a chur air a dreuchd agus a beatha ann an 1980 nuair a fhuair iad a-mach gu robh seargadh-inntinn oirre. Chaochail i ann an 1987 aig aois 68.

Tha am prògram seo a' coimhead ri beatha Rita Hayworth bho bha i na pàiste, nuair a thoisich i na dreuchd, an strì phrìobhaideach le na pòsaidhean anns an robh i, agus a beatha na cleasaiche agus ann an saoghal an fhasain.
