Legendary actress Rita Hayworth, born 100 years ago today, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1980. Hayworth died in 1987 at age 68, but the public disclosure of her diagnosis brought much-needed awareness to the disease. Her legacy lives on through the annual Rita Hayworth Galas, founded by her daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, which have raised $75 million for the Alzheimer’s Association.
