Rita Hayworth-The Glory of Love (Bette Midler)

[wthte]

Très, très jolie, Jillian. Congratulations!

[mlitsonata]

Very well done :) I'm working on a biography of my great-uncle Jackson Leighter, Rita's friend and manager - and came across your video. It really shows her, thanks.

really beautiful..thank you very much! :)

This song is just amazing, so true and one of my fav. Such a wonderful performance of Bette Midler ... wow!

[eileenfleming]

My kid who has a voice like an angelic Janis Joplin and piano playing husband will be performing this cover next month.

From what I have heard out or them; they will ace it and I attest; that only those with The Blues in their heart/soul have a clue as to The Glory of LOVE!

little sister,

xoxe

PS: You have to laugh a lot, cry just as much and only by FEELING The Blues will you know life to the full!

[jillianryan]

I agree with you 100%... I just think that with Rita, there was more tears early on, than pure joy.

[eileenfleming]

Until I read your info about Rita, I didn't know anything about Rita!

And your lead in with mention of The Beatles "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE" has also inspired me to learn more-where do you suggest I begin?

[jillianryan]

@eileenfleming every book written is told through several different perspectives, some happy, some terribly sad. But you walk away with a little something from each, loving her more with each story. I would actually start with the book written by her last husband James Hill, its a memoir. It gives you a more personal look into her private life. Hope this helps. :)

one of the best tribute of rita ever! she had what i like to call a bittersweet life!

[jillianryan]

Thank you so very much! I adore her, and wanted to pay tribute the best way I could.

This is beyond beautiful...I miss my mom. She looked like Rita Hayworth in the '40's.This song really gets to me.

[updog88]

Such a stunning homage to RITA HAYWORTH! You make me realize that she was sad & happy at the same time; dancing & crying at the same time; joyful & bluesy at the same time; Sensual & sexy, yet alone & lonely at the same time. I've always known these things about her, but you tell the story in a new light, using my favorite song by the great BETTE MIDLER.

Bravo! Perhaps you can direct a new video and explore the range of emotions Rita had when she danced. Oh...that would be marvelous.

:-)

[jillianryan]

That sounds like an amazing idea. Hahaha That will give me something to dive into over this holiday break.

Oh ... this is beautiful. I hope they find a cure for Alzheimers.

[jillianryan]

Please leave comments or any suggestions for new movies! Thanks all.

[gatabella3]

Very beautiful! Thank you! Could you make a video montage like this on Ava Gardner?

[jillianryan]

I would be happy to! :) Ava is quite the lady also...one of the best autobiographies I have ever read.

[jillianryan]

I dont have much Ava footage but I can pull some others in with her.
