Listed as one of the American Film Institute's Greatest Stars of All Time - 61 films in 31 years - born Margarita Carmen Cansino in 1918.

Rita Hayworth's Life Magazine picture was emblazoned on the test atomic bomb dropped on Bikini atoll in 1946.  Her image famously adorned barracks walls and ship bulkheads during the war.
