Something Weird The Naked Zoo

It's not often one gets to see a cinematic Sex Goddess of the Forties wallowing in Sixties drug culture, but that's exactly what happens when Miss Columbia Pictures, RITA HAYWORTH herself, enters The Naked Zoo. And, yup, it's quite a spectacle. Against the backdrop of Miami's Coconut Grove, Hayworth plays Helen Golden, the bored, hot-to-trot wife of a wheelchair-bound millionaire (FORD RAINEY, who sort of resembles Bob Dole). Taking advantage of her husband's infirmity and wealth, Helen pays ultra-hip, perpetually-stoned writer Terry Shaw (STEPHEN OLIVER of Werewolves on Wheels) to be her lover. They also ingest lots of booze, pot, and pills, and the sight of Miss Rita Hayworth being taught how to roll a joint is, shall we say, memorable. But when Mr. G catches Helen and Terry kissing on a couch, he whips out a gun and, in a frenzy, goes zipping around the living room in his motorized wheelchair, trying to shoot them. It's a particularly wild scene that ends only when the old coot is accidentally killed. - Something Weird

That's a long 3 minutes and 41 seconds.

Rita doesn't seem like the woman to be in this movie....

[mobydoug]

Hilarious and sad. It's like a hare-brained rehearsal for "Shampoo." Rita, what a falling off there was....what a noble babe is here overthrown....

[Buelligan88]

Hell... I'd of done her.

[YungReg88]

Looks like an awesome movie.

"take a close look to rita"

It's take a good look AT Rita.

I did and she isn't looking too good here. You say she was only 50 in this film?? That's still pretty young in my book, I'm 52. Yes she was an alcoholic. She had a very bad drinking problem and she wasn't diagnosed as having Alzheimer's until 1980. She may not have been drunk in these scenes but alcohol had definately taken its toll. Sad.

Rita Hayworth! Wow! Not the best way to remeber her though. A legend ending her career in a bad B-film.

take a close look to rita

she is 50-years and looks better than any

botox actress from today.

she was a very lovely dancer and talanted actress. watch her in Gilda, Salome, You'll Never Get Rich, You Were Never Lovelier to know her position and contribution to the world of entertainment and cenima

what a piece of crap. it is an insult to one of the most beautifull women ever lived

the one and only Love Symbol Rita Hayworth. It brings tears to my eyes, so sad end for rita, if she lived in these days

she still would be the perfect beauty

without any botox or silicon any new actress could not hold a candel for rita

this clip made me so sad
