There would’ve been a lot to explore in her life. Her fame, her abusive relationship with her father, her ethnicity, her makeover/transformation into Rita Hayworth, Gilda, her marriages, and her disease. I’m kinda surprised it never happened.
Why did Rita Hayworth never get a major biopic?

If you know you know, but don't spoil it for those who don't know.

What famous redhead might play her?
And I don't mean Lucy.
Cate? Chastain? Bryce Dallas?

Other than Gilda, I don’t think most of her movies are remembered and even Gilda is mostly forgotten today unless you’re a film buff.
There’s a lot of Old Hollywood stars who should’ve had biopics but unfortunately many are now forgotten.

R6 for a movie from the 1940s, I’d say Gilda is still pretty popular. There’s The Lady from Shanghai.

Rita was one of the big three pin-up glamour girls of the war-time era, along with Lana Turner and Betty Grable. Hayworth's life was interesting enough to warrant a major movie. And Rita's certainly remembered by classic movie fans.

She got "Mulholland Drive," which was better.

Many straight guys love THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994), in which Tim Robbins plays a Rita Hayworth fan, even hanging up her pin-up posters in his cell wall.
In fact, the name of the Stephen King novella the film is based on is called RITA HAYWORTH AND THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.

I could see Ana De Armas playing her.
