Rita Hayworth, formally known as Margarita Cansino, adopted her mother's maiden name shortly after coming to Hollywood. Like her daughter, Volga got her start as a dancer. She appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies, and later formed a vaudeville act with her husband Eduardo called "The Dancing Cansinos".
