lipstick is handed to Ava Gardner by her makeup woman, who thinks she may want to freshen up. Gardner stares at the tube and, with a world-weary shake of her head, says, in Yiddish, "S'it gurnisht helfen." (Nothing will help). Next, looking into the woman's hand mirror, she sighs and, continuing the Yiddish singsong, says, "Avala, you've hit rock bottom."

Now, rock bottom for Ava Gardner is a height few women will ever scale, but that gives her scant comfort. When you've been one of the great beauties of the century and you're 63 and still have to work for a living in a business of intense closeups, you can get really insecure. Between scenes, therefore, she takes long, deep breaths, purses her lips and strokes the sides of her face as though to shave away years.
 
Showbiz and Style
Recently, I read a rather extensive biography of Ava Gardner, one of Hollywood’s greatest beauties ever. The Kentucky native was even more breathtaking in person. She was a shapely woman who had high cheekbones, green eyes, alabaster skin and auburn hair. It’s no wonder why she was the favorite of Hollywood’s photographers and cinematographers. It is said that she had no bad side, unless she got off on the wrong side of the bed (then, she’d let the world know that she was in no mood to mess around with anyone).
 
The Examiner

Burlesque beauty, Ava Garter, took time out of her busy schedule to talk style with us.er style brings us back to a more glamorous time, and I think we could all benefit for her wisdom.

"One really wonderful thing that I have absolutely SPLURGED on was a long black one shoulder Valentino gown . I was going to an event with Dita for the Oscar's and I was so nervous about what to wear around all of those famous and fabulous celebrities . I found it and fell in love because it reminded me of Ava Gardner's black one shoulder look ."
