1975: b/w photo by German TV company (Deutscher Fernsehdienst – defd Foto – Munich )
The photo shows Ava Gardner sitting between Mel Ferrer and Tyrone Power in a movie stills.
Ava Gardner began her career first as a model, then as a contract player at MGM.
Her cinema reputation as The World's Most Beautiful Animal (in the words of a '50s publicity campaign) was once again manifested in loan-out movies like Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) and The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952).
MGM eventually came to terms with the elements that made Gardner popular, notably in the gutsy Mogambo (1953), in which she made an excellent partner to the equally earthy Clark Gable. With roles and public appearances steadily decreasing, she died on January 25, 1990.
She was married and divorced three times -- to Mickey Rooney, Frank Sinatra, and Artie Shaw.
