But I had great freedom in how I dressed her. She never, never said I don’t like one thing – she’s really wonderful, no trouble. With Rita you always had to design to show off her body – not her legs, but her body; I mean you couldn’t put her in a business suit.

Rita Hayworth was known for that, for being a beautiful woman, and people didn’t want to see Rita Hayworth in a business suit.”

How the Left Sees the World: Power, Race, and Class
How do those on the Left determine right from wrong? Since Marx, they’ve relied on a formula based on status, skin color, and wealth. But is that the way to reach a moral conclusion? Dennis Prager uses Israel and the United States to provide an illuminating perspective on this question.
