Rita was not Latina. Latina would mean her family origins were in Latin America.Beth Ann Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719272883573214926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019110752663101206.post-444210539665203112018-08-07T03:25:05.058-04:002018-08-07T03:25:05.058-04:00Other sites said thatOther sites said thatNickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618927020315778738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019110752663101206.post-86894674628809497332016-12-22T07:50:57.984-05:002016-12-22T07:50:57.984-05:00Nicko, did you miss the bold text at the top of th...Nicko, did you miss the bold text at the top of this post where I stated that this post was created before I turned this blog into POC in Classic Film? Or the text in bold at the bottom where I apologized for erroneously stating that she'd lightened her skin?

She was a white Caucasian woman. She never had dark skin and was not a native American or mexican Indian what so ever. She was a woman of mediterramean and northern European decent. The only time she had real dark skind was when she played some Egyptian roles early in her career and they sprayed her with a tan spray. She naturally had dark hair, dark eyes, light olive beige complexion znd a very low hair line.

Otherwise I'm very aware of how racist Hollywood was and STILL is and I'm aware that most stars with ethnic backgrounds went through and STILL go through changes (did you RESEARCH or notice what this blog is about?). I wasn't singling Rita out as the only person who did this. It just so happens that--as I said in the post--I was watching a movie with her and my mind went to the changes she went through and I spontaneously decided to write about that and her. You talk as though I was were saying harsh, critical things about her.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315223366240901207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019110752663101206.post-66056302063973906122012-08-10T11:02:35.303-04:002012-08-10T11:02:35.303-04:00Actually, Rita never got her skin lightened.

Also, you have to understand how racist the Hollywood system was back then...almost EVERY star with an ethnic background went through changes.
