For the last day of Rita Hayworth week. I hope you enjoyed the Rita theme this week–I actually think I’m going to change Star of the Week to Star of the Month, starting in November. That way I can have more time to really go in-depth with each star. But for now, here is a photographic tribute to lovely Rita!
