I agree she could sing snd well.I dont understand why she was always dubbed The same happened with Cyd Charise who sang and well in a Gene Kelly tv special
Wow, GILDA, was on the Carol Burnett show! Wow, I may have missed this one back in 71. Rita Hayworth. So nice to see her again and able to do a show with Carol! Carol, always had the best performers ever!
You can see how good of a person Carol really is by her getting big stars to be on her show, Carol is a star in her own right. Rita was the most talented and beautiful star in her heyday and always my favorite, and here she shows her good nature with Carol.
Property tax eh? Its sad in US old people have to work as if in their twenties and cant wind down peacefully...not the natural order of things....you should have more income tax instead
@Devlin Adams: Margarita began showing the early symptoms of Alzheimers, short term memory loss, by the mid sixties. This, and other Alzheimer symptoms progressed to the point where by 1971 when this show was aired, she was incapable of remembering even one short phrase of dialogue. So Carol arranged for cue cards everywhere on set, especially during the Brown Derby skit. Interestingly, some Alzheimer patients can remember the lyrics of songs better than spoken dialogue. To ensure that Margarita wasn't embarrassed, they recorded the song beforehand with Margarita having the lyrics in front of her. Then on air they both lipsynced extremely well. Margarita had always been a master of lipsynching. All the singing in her movies was her lipsynching to another singer. And, in spite of the Alzheimers, she managed to lipsync well here. By the early eighties she was being taken care of by her daughter Yasmin in New York. She was by 1983 in the final stages of Alzheimers, not recognising anyone, in a world of her own. But I'm still as puzzled as you by part of Mark Gately's comment.
the charwoman skit was fun and all that Harry Cohen knew that with her beauty she looked her best when she was wearing either an evening gown or a nightgown....
My mother always loved this show, and I grew up loving it, too! These women were two of my mother's favorite ladies in the whole word! She loved both of them. And the fact that they both had red hair (whether it was naturally red or not) made her love them all the more!
All you can do is notice , inspite of her serious health issue that started early , that this great movie star was gorgeous had her beautiful face right to the end
What a wonderful clip. I was just watching the Carol Burnett show in which am audience member asks had she (Carol) ever heard from people they had sent-up, and Carol said she'd recruited a telegram from Ms Haworth the previous week and were going to have lunch with her - with the hopes of getting Ms Haworth to guest on the show.
Reader is absolutely lovely and still shines in this piece I know that Carol was a big fan of hers for years and there was a lot of negotiating to get her on the show.. shortly after this appearance Rita really went out.. I know this information because my brother worked on the crew of The Carol Burnett Show
Mark, can you please explain what you mean by "after this appearance Rita really went out". Do you mean she went out with everyone on the crew and had a great time? Or do you mean her career was winding down? Or do you mean that after this appearance she went downhill physically and mentally as the Alzheimer's took its toll?
@@thecaleegochannel7154 : I Agree what did he meant by " Rita really went out" ?? I'm very curious about that statement myself because I think Rita Hayworth came down with Alzheimer's in the early 80s if I'm not mistaken
Boy do I remember those ugly hair & clothing styles! I was just a kid but I wondered what the hell people were thinking of, giving up their attractive '50s & '60s fashions for this. If I had only known how much worse it would get in the 21st century!!!
