Announcing the “getTV Rita Hayworth Blogathon”


CMH is Happy to Announce the getTV Rita Hayworth Blogathon

“All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.”
-Rita Hayworth

In celebration of our classic movie LOVE for the beautiful and talented Rita Hayworth, CMH is happy to announce the getTV Rita Hayworth Blogathon! During the entire month of October, we invite fellow fans and bloggers to join in the fun and share a post honoring the lovely Ms. Hayworth — her life, her work or one of her films. And, no worries, duplicate subjects are a-okay!

And…
As a special thank you to our Blogathon Entrants, all entrants with a continental US address will be automatically entered into a random drawing for a Rita Hayworth “Pal Joey” DVD provided to Classic Movie Hub by getTV.

    May I write a piece on Lady From Shanghai? If that’s already nabbed, my 2nd choice would be Cover Girl. Just lemme know- thanks so much!

    • Annmarie Gatti says:

      Hi Kellee, Oops, As it turns out Lady from Shanghai is taken, but there are no rules regarding duplicates in this blogathon. So if you’d still like to do Lady from Shanghai that is a-okay OR if you’d prefer to switch to Cover Girl that is fine too. Just let me know which way you’d prefer to go so that I can add you to the schedule! THANKS!

    • Annmarie Gatti says:

      Kellee, sorry for any confusion, but it looks like you’re good to go with Lady from Shanghai… I’ll add it to the list… Thanks!

  2. Paula says:

    Would GILDA or YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER be okay?

  3. I’d love to grab PAL JOEY or COVER GIRL, if those haven’t been claimed elsewhere!

    • Annmarie Gatti says:

      Oh Wonderful!!! Neither have been claimed yet… I’ll put you down for your first choice Pal Joey. If that’s not okay, just let me know. Thanks 🙂

    Seeing as it remains unclaimed, please could I write about You’ll Never Get Rich? It’s one I’ve been meaning to watch for a while. I might not get round to posting until later in the month if that’s ok…
    Thank you!
