The whole thing is sheer sex, her curves, her movements, her knowing smile, her posture, her dress-shape. It&#8217;s also sexy that her hair is free and tousled, not &#8220;done&#8221;. She&#8217;s wild. She looks it. Her bouncy free hair is what MAKES her first appearance in <i>Gilda<\/i> (along with the varying expressions\/tones: watch in the clip below how she goes from achingly beautiful\/sweet\/fresh, to cool and knowing and a little bit <i>hard<\/i> a second later). That first moment, the &#8220;reveal&#8221; of Gilda, is the most famous shot of Rita Hayworth ever. People who haven&#8217;t even seen <i>Gilda<\/i> probably recognize it. It&#8217;s breath-taking in the most literal sense.
