Orson Welles, who was married to actress Rita Hayworth in the 1940s, is less than thrilled that his relationship is being re-created in a CBS TV-movie docudrama, "Rita Hay-worth: The Love Goddess." Lynda Carter gussied up in a red wig and brown contact lenses—essays the title role as the five-times-married actress. Edward Ed-wards, shown above with Carter, plays Welles, husband No. 2. No, I wasn't consulted," says Welles. "I think its lamentable there isn't any legislation to stop it. I'm not worried for me. I'm sorry that they're exploiting Rita, who's a very sick girl." Hayworth, now 64, suffers from Alzheimer's Disease, which induces prematuresenility. In the movie, Welles is shown as a madcap genius who neg lects his wife for his work. "That's par for the course," says he. "It would spoil the whole thing, I suppose, if they heard my side of it. It would probably take the zing out of what they've,' dreamed up." What does Welles plan to do about the situation? "There's nothing you can do except hide and wait until it's over," he laments. Carter, meanwhile, has another view. Says TV's former ""Wonder Woman": `"At last, I get to play a woman who's not in jeopardy. The only thing at risk is her sanity."
