Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth may be best-known as one of the top movie stars of the 1930s and 1940s, starring in hit films like “Only Angels Have Wings” and “Dante’s Inferno.” Meanwhile, Hayworth boosted her looks thanks in part to plastic surgery, as she received one year of electrolysis treatments to modify her hairline and achieve a higher forehead.
