Arthur Wilhelm Writes a Tribute that Celebrates the Journey of the American Love Goddess Rita Hayworth

Arthur Wilhelm puts the spotlight back to pay tribute to the life and career of the American Love Goddess Rita Hayworth. He shares the actress’ journey from her childhood to her rise to fame. He also tells of her Hispanic roots, being born into a family of Spanish dancers, her screen debut, and how she survived a makeover that tried to erase her Hispanic heritage.
 
“Rita Hayworth” talks about her life during the height of her career. This tribute shares how her films were viewed in the 21^st century. This book also highlights her femme fatale roles that touch on subjects like women liberation and homosexuality.
 
Most of all, this book highlights Rita’s struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Hoping that this will spark hope, inspiration, and support among readers who have family members struggling with the same disease. Ultimately, Wilhelm brings understanding and compassion to the actress’ struggle in this one-of-a-kind tribute.
 
Arthur’s tribute and memoir will soon grace the bookshelves of the upcoming 2018 Frankfurt International Book Fair. “Rita Hayworth” will be a part of the world’s largest trade fair for books along with thousands of other titles. This wonderful affair happens on October 10-14, 2018 so be sure not to miss it!
