Amy Adams homage to Rita Hayworth in “Cover Girl and Gilda” by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Vanity Fair (November 2008)

Rita Hayworth pinup from the famous Bob Landry photoshoot for LIFE Magazine (1941). The image of Rita in the satin and lace nightgown made her one of the top two pin-up girls of World War II (the other being Betty Grable). Over five million copies were sent to soldiers, sailors and marines fighting in the war. In 2002, the nightgown sold for $26,888 (wikipedia)
