Without Ava Gardner, this movie would have never been legendary. Rita Hayworth's presence would have taken away from the movie.

@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!

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...
