6. Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth was born with a different name and a completely different look than what she would later become known for. She was born Margarita Carmen Cansino and was of Latina descent. That last fact may surprise some, as she is known for her long red locks and a look that doesn’t necessarily scream Latina. The star underwent a makeover that included dyeing her hair and undergoing electrolysis to reshape her hairline for her new look. With the new look, came her new name: Rita Hayworth. Rita stems from her birth name Margarita. Though many people take credit for the invention of the margarita cocktail, there are origin tales claiming the popular drink was named after this Hollywood starlet.
