Rita Hayworth recently came out of retirement to give a press conference in support of some charity. Rita Hayworth had gotten a little fat, to say the least. Well, it was this auditorium full of press people and Rita on the stage, and one reporter asked the question, “Miss Hayworth, how does it feel to get up in the morning and look in the mirror and see this ugly person, and know that you were once beautiful?” Rita Hayworth answered, “I don’t get up in the morning.” I love Rita.
