Ava Gardner was the epitome of a classic femme fetale. Thanks to Scriptgirl for making such a great contribution to this thread!

"In London, a coincidence brought me together with the actress Ava Gardner, an unforgettable presence, an extraordinarily intelligent and musical individual and a great dinner partner. I had just played my debut on the celebrated series of Christchurch Spitalfields, still in its infancy, in an as yet unrenovated architectural masterpiece of Nicholas Hawksmore. She was still living in a flat at Ennismore Gardens, and though I got to know her a little bit through our mutual friend, the philosopher and Proust scholar Alan Orenstein, I regret it was limited to only a few encounters." --- John Bell Young, pianist.

In a chapter he penned for Gardner's autobiography, he admitted coaching her and urging her to reach out for more.

"I must have told her hundreds of times that she had it in her to be a great actress," he wrote, "that all she needed was a little more courage to attack, to go at a scene with the intention of selling it, of grasping the audience's attention and holding it."

She was clearly on her way when they made "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in 1952 and magical when they filmed "On the Beach" in '59. "I felt that Ava came into her own in a very relaxed and kind of fulsome way in 'On the Beach,' " Peck said. "She was good in a lot of things, but I thought she was wonderful in 'On the Beach.' " --- Gregory Peck, actor

The orthodox assessment of Ava is that she was an undistinguished actress who happened to be a great beauty. This does not do justice to her acting. It does not do justice to her beauty either!

"Our love affair lasted three, maybe four months. A magical little interlude. We hurt no one because no one knew ... I've never forgotten those few hidden months. I made two more films with Bob, 'Ride Vaquero!' and 'Knights of the Round Table', where he played Sir Lancelot (of course!), but we never renewed our romance. And Bob, despite all his efforts, couldn't break the mold of the beautiful lover. The film world remembers him that way, and I have to say that I do too."

---Ava Gardner speaking of actor Robert Taylor
