RITA HAYWORTH DANCING | COVER GIRL (1944) Portrait

[Los Angeles]: Columbia Pictures, 1944. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Minor waving near bottom of photo. Minor creases at bottom margin. Tape remnants on verso. About fine.

Original attached paper blurb describes the dancing portrait as publicity for the upcoming Columbia Pictures musical Cover Girl.

In a dancing pose, Rita Hayworth is dressed in a flowing gown — though not one used in the film. Jerome Kern wrote some of his best-remembered songs for the spectacular Technicolor musical set in the fashion, modeling and show biz world of 1944.
