Biography
While making Exodus, Haworth became friends, first, and then lovers, with Sal Mineo, and they were friends until his death in 1976. She lost her virginity to Mineo at the age of 15 in her hotel suite at the Gotham Hotel in Manhattan. Their relationship as a couple ended on Valentine's Day 1964. She did not talk to Mineo for a time, but they eventually became friends again, made public appearances together, and in 1971 she invested in his attempted production of The Wrong People (a book about a homosexual relationship with a young boy). Their friendship even led to a brief resumption of a sexual relationship in 1969, but after she got pregnant in September and had an abortion, they went back to being just friends. Haworth later told author Michael Michaud that she thought Courtney Burr III, who later had a long-term relationship with Mineo, was the "love of Mineo's life."
Haworth dated television producer Aaron Spelling in the summer of 1965, when he was 42 and she was nearly 20. Spelling told friends that he hoped that Haworth would be the next Mrs. Spelling, but Haworth's mother, Nancy, "scoffed" at the idea and told the press that she was dating lots of guys and was in love with a different one every week. Though Haworth and Mineo were not a couple, they were still friends and he was very protective of her. He found Haworth and Spelling together at a Beverly Hills private nightclub called Daisy, and walked up and punched Spelling in the face, yelling, "Do you know how old she is? What are you doing with her at your age?"
She went on the daytime talk show Girl Talk, hosted by Virginia Graham, to talk about the accident that she had had on the set of Rawhide, and they had also booked Mineo on the show, as well. The host asked her why Mineo and she had broken up and she just blurted out, "Well, he left me for another man." Nobody seemed to catch it.
