Ismaili Muslims, a sect of Shia Islam, and the father of Aga Khan IV. In May 1949 after a divorce from his first wife (Joan Yarde-Buller), Ali Khan married the American film star Rita Hayworth (1918 – 1987) in Cannes France to make her his next wife. When she got married to Ali, Rita left a very good film career in Hollywood, CA. They were married for a short time; it was for approximately four years. They got divorced in 1953. During his marriage to Rita Hayworth, Ali Khan began to have personal relationships with popular lady celebrities. They included actress Gene Tierney and fashion model Simone Micheline Bodin (Bettina Graziani). Rita Hayworth, after the collapse of her marriage to Khan, returned to Hollywood. She starred in several "comeback" pictures, "Affair in Trinidad" (1952), "Salome" (1953), and "Miss Sadie Thompson" (1953). It was reported in the news that Hayworth seemed "rather frightened at the approach of returning to making motion pictures". She clashed with studio executives and was placed on suspension while filming. Nevertheless, her pictures were highly publicized. They ended up being blockbusters and grossing millions of dollars. She continued to star in a string of successful pictures until she stopped in 1972 with "The Wrath of God". She lived a total of 68 years and died from Alzheimer's in Manhattan, NY. .
