How Rita Hayworth Survived Her Father’s OBSESSION with Her Body? 

Very

@alih. Beautiful, but her facial expression was troubling. Looking closely you can see that her eyes were totally empty. Typical of the sexually abused child. It wasn’t the hunger for success that destroyed her. It was that early abuse that prevented her from achieving anything like maturity. Unfortunately, the syndrome wasn’t recognised in those days. Even by the victims themselves. Before this, I never knew about her early life. But I did suspect something of the sort. You could also see in her the gentleness of a child, still there because it was cut off so abruptly and never subjected to change. I always felt a kind of sadness, and never really knew why. When we meet people it’s natural to focus on their eyes. Looking at hers, you see nothing

Rita was *NEVER* abused by her father. It was all lies by a disgusting author just to sell more books.

Gable’s teeth were quite bad before he ever made movies. He already had some dental work prior to being in films. Rita Hayworth never wrote an autobiography.

why did she do that?

In 1965 when Rebecca became pregnant she was given 3 choices: have the baby, give the baby up for adoption or bring Rebecca for an illegal abortion. (Wealthy people could usually arrange a relatively safe abortion in the US or very often France.) Rita arranged for the adoption because that was Rebecca’s choice. Rebecca was 21 years old at the time. Don’t demonize Rita Hayworth. If Rebecca wanted to tell her father she would’ve and if she wanted to have the baby and keep him she certainly could’ve done that, too. It was 1966 not 1930, unwed mothers were not the huge stigma they had been in the past.

Also, the “not allowing Rebecca to see or hold her son” would not have been Rita’s choice or directive as Rebecca was 21 years old. An adult. Rita would legally have no say over Rebecca’s decisions. The hospital social workers/case managers in those days would strongly suggest to the birth mother not to engage with the baby, it was then believed to be damaging to the birth mother emotionally and psychologically.

You've had electrolysis??

That’s rather unsympathetic of you Jerry. But then again, you ARE a man…

@@georgia7636 So you are judging me for being, in your opinion, judgemental. But then again, you are a woman......

...hey dude come back after you’ve had your back waxed.

@@cosmicman621 I'm blonde and have no back hair. Not a lot of chest hair, either. Don't like hairy men. Hair traps odors and is unsanitary.

Yes, a lot of Hollywoodians undergo plastic surgery.
