  (#7) Rita Hayworth

  • Dec. at 69 (1918-1987)

  Born Margarita Carmen Cansino on October 17, 1918, Rita Hayworth changed herself almost completely to get into show business. After dancing professionally as a child, she was given a Hollywood studio contract. When Hayworth's career wasn't progressing, the studio and her husband talked her into downplaying her Latina heritage. In addition to changing her name, she dyed her hair auburn, underwent skin-lightening, and was given electric shocks on her forehead to raise her hairline. The transformation allowed her to become one of cinema's biggest sex symbols in the 1930s and '40s.

  As a Libra, Hayworth thrived off the attention, and her sociable inclinations meant she was happy to be in the spotlight. The glamorous lifestyle of the celebrity suited her persona, and the grace and charm she shared led others to find her even more attractive.

  Since Libra is ruled by Venus, Hayworth pretty appropriate became a well-known symbol of beauty; however, Libra is all about balance. and while looks fade, Hayworth's career did as well. Five failed marriages and continued alcohol abuse brought the high of her early career crashing down to a not-so-glamorous end.

  (#12) Elizabeth Taylor

  • Dec. at 79 (1932-2011)

  Born on February 27, 1932, Elizabeth Taylor's career as a performer started only three years later. At age 10, she appeared in her first movie and was shot to stardom by National Velvet two years later. Taylor's acting skills and sultry looks carried her through a very long career, but her personal life was a drama in itself. Taylor underwent marriages, divorces, affairs, and scandals, all after making the difficult transition from child actor to adult actor.

  Pisces love a good fantasy, which may have prompted Taylor's desire to create a fairy tale life. Her ability to empathize with characters and lose herself in her roles brought her much praise for her work, and her Water sign fluidity helped her transition through her eight marriages. An affinity for beauty accounted for her interest in jewelry and perfume, and a very Piscean reliance on escapism may have prompted her frequent relationship changes.

  (#3) Marilyn Monroe

  • Dec. at 36 (1926-1962)

  Marilyn Monroe may be the epitome of the so-called "twin sign" – the glamorous persona that made her famous was a complete invention. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, she never knew her father and had little memory of her mother, who was placed in a mental institution. Monroe was a victim of several sexual assaults as a young girl, was married at 16, and started a modeling career before making it big in Hollywood. By bleaching her hair blonde and changing her name, Monroe adopted a persona that oozed both sex and glamour, and the world ate it up.

  Monroe's breathy vixen side – confident and fun-loving – hid the deeply insecure person she really was. Perhaps because of this lack of confidence, Monroe had several failed marriages and was often reprimanded for being late to shoots, though she frequently blamed her tardiness on stress and illness. At one point, she apparently grew weary of her adopted persona and tried to find work as a legitimate dramatic actress. 

  Geminis are influenced by Mercury and Air elements, both of which are thought to imply an intellectual nature. Despite what many perceived to be her "bimbo" persona, Monroe lived up to these influences – she even had an alleged affinity for Albert Einstein.

  (#9) Frank Sinatra

  • Dec. at 83 (1915-1998)

  While many people know him for his singing, Frank Sinatra was also a movie star. Born December 12, 1915, he began his career singing in nightclubs in order to emulate his idol, Bing Crosby. Sinatra scored his first film role in the early 1940s, but not until 1953's From Here to Eternity did he show audiences that he wasn't just a singer. After an Oscar win, another nomination, and praise from critics, Sinatra became a member of the Rat Pack and appeared with his crew in Ocean's Eleven and a few other movies.

  Embracing the Sagittarius's outgoing and friendly charm, Sinatra was always up for a carefree adventure. Although he was accused of using mafia ties to help his career, Sinatra's uncontrollable excitement would have probably helped him anyway. His ability to influence others, desire to try new things, and reckless approach to life led to four marriages. The Archer's love of doing as much as possible in one lifetime would account for his tandem careers in both music and film.

  (#2) Audrey Hepburn

  • Dec. at 64 (1929-1993)

  Born on May 4, 1929, Audrey Hepburn grew up in Belgium and began her performing career as a dancer. She captured Hollywood's eyes and heart after appearing in Gigi on Broadway. Hepburn often played glamorous yet down-to-earth women, gaining fans thanks to her personality as well as her fashion sense. After her most memorable role in 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hepburn continued to make movies and earn Oscar nominations for her work but decided to focus on humanitarian efforts in her later life, especially as an ambassador for UNICEF.

  Hepburn adopted the Taurus's trademark stubbornness in her careful selection of roles and her dedication to her signature style. She may not have taken many risks in her career, but those projects she did select provided a well-rounded portfolio. Thanks to her confidence, strength, and demand for respect, Hepburn succeeded in becoming one of the select few to achieve EGOT status – a title reserved for those who have won at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Hepburn's soft sensuality and classic beauty were evident in Venus's influence on Taurus as well, and women will most likely copy her Breakfast at Tiffany's style for years.

  (#4) Natalie Wood

  • Dec. at 43 (1938-1981)

  Natalie Wood was a Cancer, born on July 20, 1938. Her mother, Maria, quickly overtook her life, pushing her to pursue an acting career when she was still a child. Maria controlled nearly everything her daughter did – she even told her about a curse that left Wood with a life-long fear of water. During a 1981 boating trip, she tragically drowned.

  If Cancers are sensitive crabs, then Wood was definitely a gentle girl who was forced to build a hard shell around herself in order to cope. Holding her emotional turmoil tightly inside, Wood rebelled against her circumstances with sex. This rebellion manifested in numerous affairs, marriages, divorces, and even losing her virginity at 16 to Rebel Without a Cause director Nicholas Ray during her screen test. With the emotional Moon's influence, Wood was a tender-hearted girl who just wanted to be loved, all the way up to her mysterious death.
