Description

Big Red reimagines the life of Rita Hayworth, one of America's most enduring icons. Narrated by Rusty Redburn, a feisty reporter tasked with spying on Hayworth, we follow her meteoric rise and heartrending demise amidst Hollywood's Golden Age. Set against the backdrop of film classics such as Cover Girl, Gilda, and The Lady from Shanghai, Big Red offers an insightful portrait of a seemingly halcyon age before blockbusters and film franchises. With its trademark screwball comedy and unerring tragedy, Jerome Charyn brings to life the story of Hayworth's fiery red hair, hypnotic dancing, and exploitative father, as well as her controlling husband Orson Welles. This book promises to consume both Hollywood cinephiles and neophytes alike with its tender portrayal of a bygone era.
