So it's nice to know that Rita had that impact, and it was nice to end a character on a high note like that. But, again, in the moment. . . I always say, nobody was more devastated than me [from Rita's death in Dexter]!
To me, 'Educating Rita' is the most perfect performance I could give of a character who was as far away from me as you could possibly get and of all the films I have ever been in, I think it may be the one I am most proud of.
It's anticipated that Hurricane Rita will still be a Category 3 storm when it hits Port Arthur.
Hurricane Katrina, coupled with Hurricane Rita, which came promptly on Katrina's heels, claimed more than 1,200 American lives. Together, they caused more than $200 billion in damage.
I loved all those classic figures from the '30s and '40s. . . Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent.
I'd like to have made one of those big splashy Technicolor musicals with Rita Hayworth.
Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off our coast. We lost 100 miles last year off our coast thanks to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We have lost a size of land equivalent to the entire state of Rhode Island.
