Outstanding display of two items: a scarce vintage matte-finish 4.25 x 6 portrait of the actress in her early years, signed in fountain pen with her given name, “Sincerely, Rita Cansino”; and a DS signed “Rita Hayworth,” two pages, 8 x 10, October 26, 1971. Agreement between Hayworth and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., employing her to “portray the role of Senora de la Plata in the photoplay now entitled ‘Wrath of God.’” Document is initialed three times and signed at the conclusion by both Hayworth and an MGM executive. Beautifully double-matted and framed together to an overall size of 29.5 x 16. In overall fine condition. An excellent combination of both forms of her name, from the very beginning and very end of her career—she stopped using “Cansino” after signing a deal with Columbia in 1937, and The Wrath of God was her final film. Oversized. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
