After the collapse of her marriage to Aly Khan in 1951, Hayworth returned to the United States with great fanfare. She starred in a string of hit films: “Affair in Trinidad” , “Salome”, and “Miss Sadie Thompson. Her performance in the latter film won critical acclaim.
She was off the big screen for another four years, due mainly to a tumultuous marriage to the singer Dick Haymes. After making “Fire Down Below” and her last musical ‘Pal Joey” Hayworth finally left Columbia.
She received good reviews for her acting in “Separate Tables”, and ‘The Story on Page One”. She continued working throughout the 1960s. In 1962, her planned Broadway debut in “Step on a Crack” was cancelled for undisclosed health reasons. She continued to act in films until the early 1970s. She made a well-publicized 1971 television appearance on “The Carol Burnett Show”. Her last film was “The Wrath of God”.
