Thanks for all the gorgeous pictures. I especially loved the one with Dizzy Gillespie you posted scriptgirl. Although I can't see her entire outfit I just love what she's wearing. She pulls off the big glasses and beret so well. I love her understated and simple style. Ava Gardner looks so fresh, natural and beautiful in the 1940s. That's not to say she didn't look good in the 1950s and beyond but since she was new to Hollywood in the 1940s a lot of her photos have this innocence about them that I love.

I love how Ava looks till about 54-55, but then again, she started looking good in the early 60s.

^ I love the candid shots of her, thanks.

I wish Ava had made more films. I read she was first offered the role of Mrs. Robinson and even though I think Anne Bancroft was great in the role I think Ava Gardner would have been fantastic.

How embarrassing! And I call myself a fan!

You're right about the last picture you posted; it is absolutely stunning.
