Duh. Rita (Cansino) Hayworth was probably one of the most gorgeous and sexy women ever to appear in Hollywood musicals. If she had had Eleanor Powell's dancing talent and athletic ability, no one would remember Fred Astair. As it was, he made her look even better than she was.

Rita was sooo ...( 1 year ago by pyrohoboy)
Rita was sooo beautiful and graceful. I read somewhere that Fred really liked and respected Rita, she was a perfectionist like him and a brilliant dancer,(he also knew her and her father when they went around dancing in clubs etc). I thought it was Ginger he only tolerated, but i could be wrong XD

Everybody remembers Fred with Ginger, but he really looks like a little kid having a blast with Rita Hayworth, and she looks utterly joyful dancing with him. And boy, can she really dance!

Oh man, I have to add in an incredible talent for dancing to your assessment of Rita Hayworth. Just look at her go in this clip!

Everybody liked Rita as a person. She was so sweet, and nice, and demure. I've also read that Rita was Fred's favorite dancing partner...
I have a magazine ...( 1 year ago by karalyeva1985)
I have a magazine with her on the cover, from 1941 (the year this movie was released), and she's in a swimsuit so you can see her legs really well. She definitely has dancer's legs--so much muscle from dancing all those years! She is an amazingly beautiful woman and an astounding dancer.

I think fred liked most of the dancers he worked with though the ones who were profesional dancers such as rita (who many think was his favourite since her style and profesionalism was on par with astaires) and eleanor powell were the ones that obviously stood out for him. Fred and ginger also greatly enjoyed working with each other despite both wanting to do other things and not be known as a team.

I did't know that Rita was a dancer, too...I thought she was only an actress, so when I saw this movie I was really good-surprised! She's great, and together they are fabulous! I think I like Fred-Rita more than Fred-Ginger....don't say I'm an heretic

I completely agree, I love Rita. She's crazy multi-talented and I think she's much less insipid than Ginger.

Actually, very silly plot aside, there are some terrific solos by Fred, and a beautiful duet between him and Rita that you can see here on YouTube. It's danced to the song "So Near and Yet So Far."

Wow, this is the first dance number that I've really liked of hers. She's much better at tap dancing than ballroom or latin dancing.

Rita was a dancer before anything else! She was professional dancer before an actress. Fred said she was the best he partnered with onscreen so that ought to tell you something.
