Thanks.....I didn't think so.

This is too weird. I recently read a book about Rita Hayworth and wondered what had happened to her daughter but hadn't had time to research it. In photographs, Rebecca Welles looked like Orson, which wasn't really all that attractive on a female.

Sadly, Rita said that Orson was the love of her life. When she was in the beginning phase of Alzheimer's, Orson approached her at a party to kiss her on the cheek and she drew back from him because she didn't know who he was. :O(
