If you have time please check out my tribute to Ava Gardner following a party for an acting class month long exercise where I portrayed Ava Gardner at the University of Texas in Austin. Im a singer songwriter musician actress from Houston Texas . Tory TT
There are alot of beautiful woman in Hollywood, then and now, but very few of them are "Extraordinary Beautiful" as Ava. The others that are also extraordinary beautiful are Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor. Just my opinion. Thanks saraismyname
Love a lot of her movies. She's great in On The Beach, and the chemistry between her and Gregory Peck is very obvious. They were great friends until her death. The Peck's adopted her little dogs and brought her maid back to America with them after Ava died.
Another sad and lonely song. Was is it about Ava and sad songs?
This is a refreshing change from the glut of video stills tribute to Ava gardner. However, how come there are no snippets from her more recent films like 'the bluebird' or 'regina roma?'
Zeitgeist!...Jackson Browne at his best. Brings back so many memories-both 'good' and 'bad'..although, in retrospect there is little difference in the two.
I love Ava.Altough she wasn't very talented early in he career,she always had a huge screen presence and a striking beauty.Later on she did learn to act.
Ave used to come to Forest Mere health farm with a maid, I think she felt very comfortable because people don't stare,Gary Glitter was there at the same time. Her hair was shoulder length, and she looks great in a bathing costume. I met her several times.
She used to stay at Forest Mere Health Farm in Hampshire, I swam in the pool with her, she was really charming, and had a great figure even in her later years, still very beautiful
Ava Gardner...the most beautiful of all Hollywood stars...the most naturally beautiful....MGM mismanaged her career and at the height of her career she left the country for good. I miss her.
@bluefourhotmom Yes blue, she hated MGM and couldn't wait to get out of her contract. In her autobio, Ava said that MGM only cared about people looking pretty for the camera and didn't put any of effort in teaching starlets how to act. She was very insecure about her acting ability, self conscious. She was really angry and embarrassed when the studio decided to dub her voice for Show Boat, I hear she had a very nice voice too. I also think she was a fine actress, very good in many of her roles.
Beautiful tribute. I met Ava Gardner once (many years ago) on a park bench in Hyde Park, London of all places !. Although older and not in the best of health, it was only when i got up to leave that she mentioned her name. Bless her heart. A tremendous beauty, older or not...
Thank you :) Yes ofcourse, the one with Clark Gable is Lone Star and the one with Gregory Peck is On the Beach, that one is really good! :) and then the others are, The Killers, Show Boat, Bhowani Junction and The Barefoot Contessa! That's all I think :)
Thanks so much! I've seen Ava in a couple movies - Mogambo, The Snows of Kilamanjaro(sp?)- and I really liked her. In Mogambo, I liked her better than Grace Kelly, and Grace is one of my favorites!
Yes. About 60 miles from a place called Smithfield where she was born and is buried. I've never been to it but they have an Ava Gardner museum there too.
sara, you might want to do a search: It seems to me that I saw a lot of it posted on the web one time--- maybe on Youtube, maybe elsewhere. If you don't find it, let me know and I'll see whether I can.

Another great compilation. Jackson Browne has such introspective lyrics. Ava Gardner was born not far from where I live.
