It's now showing on TCM. What a beautiful woman she was.

Bogart's her co-star, by the way.

3. Is that photo from a movie, gray?
"On The Beach" or "Night of the Iguana" perhaps? No, they were both B&W as I recall.

5. Ooooh.. Two more Ava Gardner flicks coming up on TCM.
"The Killers" - 1946, with Burt Lancaster, before either of them was well known. - an Ernest Hemingway story. Sounds like a must see.

Followed by "Nights of the Round Table".

6. I can't believe she was once married to MICKEY ROONEY!
Of course I don't blame him, but what was she thinking??

9. OMG. At 24, she was stunning.
Can't sing a note, however.

But who's listening? :rofl:
