"Andy maneuvered to get next to me, and about halfway through the show he leaned a little closer and asked if i could get him Rita Hayworth. I'll tell you the truth, it kind of tickled me. He usually cool, calm, and collected, but that night he was jumpy as hell, almost embarrassed, as if he was asking me to get him a load of Trojans or one of those sheepskin-lined gadgets that are supposed to "enhance your solitary pleasure," as the magazines put it."At this point in the story, Andy has been around the prison for a while. He has been abused, beaten, and raped multiple times by a group called the "sisters." Normally Andy has a easy-going facade, however during a showing of a Rita Hayworth movie, Andy seems to fall in love with the girl on the screen. Normally he has asked for tools to help him with his rock collection, but this time was much different. His tone seems different and vulnerable. I chose a picture of Rita Hayworth. She is the typical Hollywood beauty, and was very popular for her time. This specific photo is not the one described in the story, however her seductive pose and face definitely shines through in this photo.
