- From the Zarzuela Cubana by Ernesto Lecuona, 17 year old Rita Hayworth literally sets the club on fire, or at least helps, while dancing to "Maria la O," a clip from fom "Dante's Inferno," 1935. Her partner is handsome Gary Leon. Rita was billed as Margarita Cansino, her actual name. I think her 1st smile, and superb dancing really clinched the deal; she was going to be an enormous star! May God bless the inventor of bobby pins!

Everytime I see her dance of Fred Astaire he commented that she was one of his favorite dancers because she was so light on her feet, and it never took her long to memorize the choreography. She was beautiful and decades after her death she is still America's beautiful dancing princess touching hearts from times of old to the present.
Thanks Mich Tsomething!
I agree with you! Think she started dancing while still under 7 years old! Her beauty was limitless; her talent even more so! One thing I always noticed: she rarely looked down at her feet! Not a snob, but she knew what she was doing, and never had to check out her own steps. We're lucky to have witnessed her talent and beauty! So glad to hear from you!
Best wishes,

Rita es patrimonio universal, saludos desde Argentina
It's terribly sad and amazing that she can act so wonderfully, when she was going through so much trouble at the time. Truly an amazing lady.
Rita, no matter of hair color, always beautiful and lovely, talented actress... my fave, all-time, actress, actually! Love her!
+Mj Lynn Hi!
She was only 16, or 17 here! Given her beauty, dance talent, and make-up, people thought she was much older! She was like one of today's baby models who are 14, but look 28, except she was more beautiful and danced!
Thanks so much for your message!

The hilarious comic Gilda Radner was named after Rita Hayworth's charcter in the movie,"Gilda." Her parents must have been mesmerized by Rita's undeniable beauty & talent. Rita is in my opinion the most beautiful charismatic actress who ever came out of Hollywood. It's a shame that you rarely see her daughter, Yasmin Aga Khan who looks just like Rita, in magazines.
And like Gilda Radner, Jewish! Sephardic Jews from Spain who changed their religious affiliation during the Inquisition. Look it up if you doubt it.
Rita Hayworth was fascinating, truly femine, beautiful, and enchanting
Incendiary Goddess!! I love Rita, too!
Love her forever! I saw this movie when I was really young. Though it's a very long film, this is Rita's only scene! At only 16, 17 years of age, she stole the show. Her smile alone would light up the whole stage. Glad to hear from you!

Fantastic clip . So lovely to see the young Rita or as she should be called Margarita . Many thanks for uploading . Would love to see any more early clips of a young Rita .
Thanks Gram Fischer! Guess I'll never understand it completely, but there was something really bewitching about Rita's smile! As for Fred, they're great in everything together, but my personal favorite has always been "I'm Old Fashioned," from "You Were Never Lovelier!"
Years ago I watched this on TV on the "Late, Late movie" with my mom. Mom recognized Rita immediately, but I didn't think it was her because I'd only seen Rita Hayworth with red hair and as a pinup. Mom said that this was earlier in her career. So we both waited for the end credits, and saw Rita billed as "Rita Cansino." We had a great 'ah-ha!!' moment. I was about 13 then. I was also freaking out, 'cause the lady looked much older than the teenager she was!! I'm in my 50s now...sigh. You always bring great clips!!
First, I want to thank you for complimenting me on my choice of clips! I try! Your memory of having seen this with your mother is wonderful! I suspect, like the 13 year old models of these days, the performers of the '30s were also made up to appear older. I suspect that Rita, having danced since childhood, and her incredible beauty could have fooled anyone into thinking that she was much older! This was way before Hollywood had its way with her appearance; electrolysis, etc. Still, her face, talent, and that beguiling smile solidified her future career! Though she came across on-screen as a femme-fatale, she was really very shy and she said so! Even Spencer Tracy, who thought this film was garbage, said of her: "The fact that she survived this terrible film is a testament to her talent!" Again, I'm so grateful to hear from you!

So young and graceful; at the same time seductive! And already very talented, since she began to dance at her childhood! Many thanks, varadero!!
Her father's incest towards her
What's always struck me about this clip is what I love about "RITA HAYWORTH" is the magic that dancer Margarita Cansino had from the first film she was ever in - this one!
Truly in her element when she was dancing; even at this age, she glowed.
Ya en ese momento se veía que Rita merecía algo más que bailar fantásticamente durante unos breves minutos en una película. Siempre será la brillante Diosa del Amor de la historia del cine.
Marilu Leon,
¡Ojalá ella tuviera un papel más grande en la película, pero ella tenía sólo 17 años en ese momento! Sospecho que Hollywood reconoció su talento con su primera sonrisa embrujada! ¡Gracias!
varadero
tiene razon! ella si era inolvidable! en la pantalla grande era tremenda persona! en la vida real, segun un monton de gente, ella era, bien timida! de todos modos, ella ha iluminda nuestras vidas. mil gracias por su comentario!
Now this IS exciting! Delighted that this small clip helped you relive some earlier times with your mom! I may have some years on you, but folks from 5-105, no one could resist spectacular Rita! Great to hear from you, and many thanks!
You're right! It's as if she was born to begin her "serious" career with this film! Her smile, even infantile in this film, could cause most men and women to relate to her. Her beauty and innocence were contagious!
Behind that smile she seems so sad... It is really heartbreaking! Rita paid such an enoumous price to please everybody around her, especially men which exploited her terribly, starting by her father who abused her sexually and mentally. She was so graceful, so adorable, and a faultless dancer. I wish she was happy and had all her dreams of true love and a hapoy family life true.
So horrible. Mother was complicit and allowed her husband to sleep with his little girl and take her as his "partner" to dives. The song "Tangerine" was written about her and it infuriated her. God bless her frail soul.
Please don't believe all the lies against Rita's father. He NEVER abused her. It's all lies by a certain author just so she could sell more books 😠 - And it's funny she only published her nonsense after Rita's passing. She knew she couldn't be sued if Rita wasn't here.
@@WillScarlet1991 How do you know?
@@felinefinexo There's not a single shred of evidence to say Rita was abused by her father. He never really got on with Orson Welles, so when he died, Orson decided to make up some disgusting lies about him. This was in the 80s when Rita was suffering a lot with Alzheimer's and hence couldn't really stand up for herself or her father.
Varadero, thank you so much for suggesting this clip. Even at 17 Rita was mesmerizing. I love these old clips. My ultimate favorite dancer is Fred Astaire. I'm sure you've seen Rita and Fred dancing together. She was really quite a hoofer.
Blame it on Mame, boys (!)
Just made an attempt to reply to you with a personal message. I've been blocked, yet would still like the opportunity to respond...albeit via an alternate version of this media. Please let me know! Thank you.
she dances beautifully, but he is way too adult with her… I don’t like how he spins her around at the end, like she’s just a doll. how come a 17 year old is doing these adult dances with such an older man, and why didn’t anybody intervene?!
quei capelli che si sciolgono mentre viene piroettata dalle braccia del partner di ballo.... Gilda è già tutta la'...... wowwwww
es mi tataratia
Que gracia y precisión de baile!. Rita era única!
@darlinkula1 Thanks for your comment; Rita, even here as a kid was mesmerizing! I never knew about Gilda Radner and how she got her name. Thanks! As for Yasmin, the only time I ever see her is on a yearly basis when they have an Alzheimer's fund-raiser for wonderful Rita. They'd always have it at the Tavern on The Green in Central Park, New York. Pretty certain the restaurant's either been closed, renamed or similar. You're so right about Yasmin; she looks so like her mom!
The late 30's and early 40's was when my mother and father met and romanced before being married. A grand era of entertainment. Thank you for uploading (Varadero1839) John.
Never heard of "Zarzuela Cubana".. BUT this clip happens to be from an American movie called "Dante's Inferno" starring Spencer Tracy. You can see him too in the clip, Rita was under contract at Fox when she made this, and she also appeared in "Charlie Chan In Egypt" at Fox soon after.
He got texted
Wasn't she being abused by her father???!!!
According to the biographies I read on Rita, yes she was abused by her father.
@@scook5599 No she wasn't. It was lies by a certain author. And it's funny she published her nonsense only after Rita had passed. She knew she couldn't be sued when Rita was gone.
She didn't look like herself sorry but that hairline and color does not look good.
Like jl she looks better with straight hair and sandy blond
Actually, the way she appeared in this movie is much closer to what she actually looked like before the studio mandated dramatic changes in eyebrows, hair color and hairline.
She did look splendid, as a brunette (her natural hair colour), and at 17 years old. She didn't need any "improvements" 🙄, as mandated/suggested later by her Hollywood "advisors". The only reason for the latter was to make her look more "Anglo" 🤔, as if it was not sufficient for her to be half Irish/English.
She was the most beautiful and talented actress/dancer in Hollywood in that era, in my opinion. And, on top of that, a beautiful soul. Humble and precious.
