How Rita Hayworth Changed Her Appearance For Hollywood

Most associate Rita Hayworth with the amber blaze of red hair that cascaded down her shoulders like a radiant waterfall of luscious flames. However, being of Spanish origins, she was actually a natural born brunette. When her career was still in its preliminary trial period and she was struggling to gain professional traction, a studio head suggested that she dye her hair red in order to look less "simple." She did just that. Lo and behold, it worked, but it became something of a hectic upkeep once success took over and she had to re-tint her hair every other day to ward off any brunette bleed-over (per Daily Mail U.K.). 

Strangely enough, the studios preferred to photograph her with one day's regrowth, stating that the subtle sprouting of brunette from her roots framed her face and enhanced her features quite well (via Daily Mail U.K.).
