Born in Volos, she studied ballet, and made her television debut in the show Playgirl, hosted by Minnie Minoprio. Her stage name was chosen by the agent Alberto Tarallo, in relation to her remembrance to Rita Hayworth (whose real surname was Cansino).

She made her television comeback in 2012 as a pundit in the Canale 5 dating show Uomini e donne.
