Rita Hayworth was one of the all-time silver screen beauties — drop-dead gorgeous and with the acting chops to match! She was mostly known for her memorable film noir roles in movies like Lady from Shanghai and Gilda. Who better than to play one of the most complex and sensual characters in the bible – Salome!
