Page "Rita Hayworth" Paragraph 37

In 1952 she refused to report for work because " she objected to the script.

" In 1955, she sued to get out of a contract with the studio, but asked for her $ 150, 000 salary, alleging filming failed to start when agreed.

She said, I was in Switzerland when they sent me the script for Affair in Trinidad and I threw it across the room.

But I did the picture, and Pal Joey too.

I came back to Columbia because I wanted to work and first, see, I had to finish that goddamn contract, which is how Harry Cohn owned me!

" " Harry Cohn thought of me as one of the people he could exploit ," said Hayworth, " and make a lot of money.

And I did make a lot of money for him, but not much for me.
