Well yes, it is! It wasn't natural, I discovered some time ago she was persuaded to dye it red to get away from too "Latin" a look.... but it was so gorgeous I forgave her!  I don't know how good it looked in real life  but it is quite fabulous on film.
Yes, she was originally Margarita Cansino. For Orson Welles she became a blonde - in 'Lady from Shanghai'.

.... and I bet Mum always says "You be careful on that bike" ;)
Why - do you think it would do any good? Actually, it looked great fun, and I especially enjoyed watching all the women riders.....as if!

This one has just raised a smile:

A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks.
 
First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds.
 
As he does this a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show who is
boss, he beats it to death with a spade.
 
Realizing his employer won't be best pleased he disposes of the fish by
feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.
 
Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp house, he is
attacked by the chimps that pelt him with coconuts.
 
He swipes at two chimps with a spade killing them both. What can he do?
Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat
anything...
 
He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.
 
He moves on to the last job which is to collect honey from the South
American Bees.
 
As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and
smashes the bees to a pulp.
 
By now he knows what to do and shovels them into the lions cage because
lions eat anything.
 
Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo.. He wanders up to another
lion and says "What's the food like here?"
 
The lions say: "Absolutely brilliant, today we had Fish and Chimps with
Mushy Bees

Little Max is very cute - love the sunglasses on his head!
I did not catch all he said, but enough to laugh!
I am quite glad though, that I have not to worry that my daughter might want to marry him! ::)

maybe a problem for Max would be the language of your daughter ....he speaks only "boarisch"  ;)
