Then came some rapid-fire news: Rita and her crooning suitor, Dick Haymes, signed a pact safeguarding her money for her own use. Dick's third wife, Nora, divorced him in California and signed a waiver agreeing to his Nevada divorce. Haymes and Hayworth announced that their wedding would finally come off this week...
