IN HOLLYWOOD WHERE THE UNUSUAL IS COMMONPLACE, RITA HAYWORTH'S COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE ARE TRULY UNIQUE
IF YOU are a student of such things, you will recall that Rita Hayworth, tall, dark, with the classic chassis, is the wearer of two titles. One was tossed at her by a filmland picture magazine and makes her "Hollywood's Fascinating Woman No. 1," and the other was a little thing run up by a group of fashion designers which broadens the scope. It labels her "America's Ideal Tall Girl."
Miss Hayworth, who is five feet six incites, and doesn't seem very tall when met in the privacy of slacks, silken blouse, and in her own wood-paneled library, thinks it's all very well to be so flatteringly designated. She thinks that it's very nice to be touted as Columbia Studios' "glamor girl." But other things are more important, like acting. She wants, very much, to become a fine actress.
These titles of Miss Hayworth's, by the way, are a little dated, already, as the people who check up on such things know. Since their bestowal Lana Turner has been notified that, by unanimous vote, she is now "Miss Wunky-Woo of 1940." This is the result of heavy polling by the M. A. C.

If someone had supplanted her in film role, that would be cause for emo tional tremors, but the emotion would not have been as wracking as it was five years ago when she was seventeen and learned that she was not to play Rawona in the second film version, after all.
At seventeen, Rita, who was then known as Rita Cansino, for that's her real surname, sat on the front steps of the 20th Century [Continued on page 56]
