no she was spanish, her father eduardo cansino was from Sevilla and emigrated to the States...
mankiewicz said himself that the movie was based vaguely on ritas life; legend says that she even was offered the role BEFORE ava gardner, but this remains to be proven...
AVA LAVINIA GARDNER was no phony .She used her real name.Hollywood wanted her to call herself Lucy Johnson but she refused.She fought the
the MGM system that demanded that they owned all actresses and actors under contract and ruled their behavior after worKing hours off screen.She was too beautiful to fire.SHE SAID" ACTING IS JUST A JOB.WE ARE NOBODY SPECIAL JUST BECAUSE WE ARE ACTORS"....HER MODESTY UPSET SOME OF THE OTHER SO CALLED "STARS" EGOS.
I wish I knew what was written in spanish. I love this scene, the music is hauningtly beautiful. I can not picture Rita Hayward in this role, because Ava gardner fits the chacter so well.. Now those were the days when entertainers were stars. Today they call every one a star. A star is some one that shines brightly even into death. I know many will disagree, but I don't care. I would prefer to wach classic movie and telvvision , then what exist today. Is nothing but sex, lust & killings.
@oentschi Are you kidding? Ava WAS the barefoot contessa. She was beautiful and wonderful in this role. She made this picture the colorful classic it always will be!
sorry, thats my opinion...i never said ava was not good, she was great, it was even her best role but rita would have been equally good, i am 100% sure + Rita was a real dancer and spanish just like Maria Vargas...
Without Ava Gardner, this movie would have never been legendary. Rita Hayworth's presence would have taken away from the movie.

I believe, oentschi the Rita Hayworth was Mexican. I agree Ava Gardner was superb but Rita would have been =ly great.

@oentschi You're confusing Ava Gardner, with Rita Hayworth.. Ava Gardner was born in North Carolina..!

One of my favourite Ava films. She was so beautiful in this and she fit the role perfectly.
