“From the time I was three and a half, as soon as I could stand on my own feet, I was given dance lessons. I didn’t like it very much, but I didn’t have the courage to tell my father, so I began taking the lessons. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, that was my girlhood.” Happy Birthday, Rita Hayworth (October 17, 1918 - May 14, 1987)
