Liz Taylor said in an interview to James Grissom said, ‘No one could craft a lovelier vase, hunk of crystal, painting or diamond than what God did for Ava Gardner’. A billion people would agree with Liz!
I love how generous Elizabeth Taylor could be at times. She spoke warmly of Marilyn Monroe on screen as well, and possibly was the one that said "God kissed her (Audrey Hepburn) on the cheek and there she was." Ava really was gorgeous.... one of the most beautiful I think and even though she was glammed up, her beauty was very natural :)
Ava is not only brilliantly beautiful. her singing is also so charming! she makes have a new impression of "Coming through the rye". thank you so much for sharing.
Just curious why not? You have to understand this movie was made in 1953, movies were made a little different from today, I injoyed it but that’s what is great about the movies everyone’s a critic! lol 😆
Gene Tierney was offered Grace Kelly's role. She turned it down because she didn't want to be in Africa away from her daughter for months. In her autobiography she claims that Ava stole the film anyway - "not because she is more beautiful. She can act." I loved that. And as far as comparing Ava and Grace ... Grace was pretty but Ava was gorgeous. Like, other world gorgeous. Her only beauty rival at that time was Elizabeth Taylor who was at the height of her beauty in The Last Time I Saw Paris. But even a teenage Elizabeth admired Ava's beauty. Years and years later she mentioned her in interviews when asked who was beautiful. However, Grace and Ava were good friends. Later in her life after Grace died Ava said "I don't miss a lot of people but I do miss Gracie Grimaldi."
just because grace kelly married europeon royalty she is today in the media list of beautiful women......what a plain, plain jane.....especially in front of ava gardner...who really WAS the most beautiful woman in showbiz at that time.
I don't know if it's because she is one of the most seductive women to ever appear on screen or not, but everything Ava says sounds like an innuendo. "No, but you can pump if you feel strong enough!" Brunette Southern beauty!
@andeaver1937 besides, in kelly's personal life, she also had affairs with married men like ray milland and gary cooper. i don't find kelly any higher than gardner except she just knows better to hide and act decent. i have nothing against kelly, who is also one of my frequently watched actresses, and i just try to make a point that reputation doesn't necessarily reflect the actuality. obviously, i ADORE ava more!
Ava Gardner waas a classic natural beauty, really so perfect. Grace Kelly was a heavenly beauty, an immaculate one. Grace Kelly's feauteres facial's are more perfect thn the ones of Ava Gardner. Grace was the epitome of beauty. She's the personification of Grace, style and timeless elegance. Human eyes have never seen such divinity. The most beautiful and ethereal woman who'e ever walked on the earth! The Ony one GODDESS
@andeaver1937 maybe there's some prole outrage inside to protest over kelly, who could also be as indiscreet as gardner in her private lives. perhaps, candidness is what i appreciate on gardner. just as in mogambo, kelly is the one who betrays her husband for clark gable whom she later shoots in a haste anger, but ostantatiously she acts guiltlessly like lily while she's the one doublecrossing and hurting others.
@andeaver1937 even gable ages, but his leading ladies ain't. he's literally paired with the most beautiful women of their prime youth in every decade since 1930s.
sorry if this comes across as too blunt, but anyone who thinks Grace Kelly upstages Ava here, then you my dear have all your taste in your mouth... Grace looks like a plain Jane next to Ava here! That's not to say Grace wasn't beautiful as well, but the comparison is a joke.
Grace is a swan, Ava is a panther. That's the only difference. Both extremely beautiful women.
Ava beatiful very beatiful panther
Grace is like her name, pure princess

0:34 "Oh yes, saw a few ants, but they were just the, old fashioned kind, huh?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ava is PERFECT!
Ava Gardner is the most beautiful woman that cinema has ever seen.
DEEE - lightful. In fact Mr. Nordley . . . the whole movie is totally delightful.
I didn't enjoy the movie that much, but this clip from Ava was the highlight of the movie. Ava was a legend.
Just curious why not? You have to understand this movie was made in 1953, movies were made a little different from today, I injoyed it but that’s what is great about the movies everyone’s a critic! lol 😆
Beautiful Ava.
Grace is boring, Ava - pure perfection
Ava's last name should have been Gorgeous! She's simply divine.
+Legendofbillyjean I concur!
Devine was fat and a man!!
I hope some one upload this movie here. I'm desperate to watch it.
Btw, Ava Gardner is so beautiful. Damn!
Ava for the win!

The really scary part is that people who saw Ava in the flesh said afterwards, she wasn't that photogenic, the reality was even more amazing.
Ava ist göttlich!! Und das habe ich über 50 Jahre aus unerklärlichen Gründen verdrängt.
Love Ava!

I can watch these movies and I've been watching them for years great entertainment beautiful or you may say handsome folks
I just realised this is the song Holdens talking about in Catcher In The Rye huh
Grace was pretty but in such a normal, everyday sort of way. Ava was beautiful and interesting and I think it's because of her family background.
GRACE FOR EVER!!!!!❤❤❤
Next to Ava, Grace is rather plain.
I don't know if it's because she is one of the most seductive women to ever appear on screen or not, but everything Ava says sounds like an innuendo. "No, but you can pump if you feel strong enough!" Brunette Southern beauty!
Marksphan1-thanks,I never noticed that obvious innuendo.. I mean-why is strength so necessary to pump an organ

Ava: “You can pump if you feel strong enough!”
😍💞 Ava
Both gals received Oscar nominations, though Kelly's was supporting. This is the only movie where her thunder is stolen by another actress.

grace kelly and clark gable dated off screen while filming this movie, she fell in love and wanted to marry him despite the age gap
Grace Kelly
@andeaver1937 even gable ages, but his leading ladies ain't. he's literally paired with the most beautiful women of their prime youth in every decade since 1930s.
@andeaver1937 a bit older than gone with the wind??? mogambo was made over 15 years after gwtw. then how do you think? ha.
What a bunch of phonies.
yeah yeah
okay, audrey hepburn also marries three times. but no one would think of her anything but gracious, right?
this movie is kind of what
obviously ava gardner is sexier and prettier than grace kelly, why men always have to hold kelly in the higher niche?
No canta bien, es cierto, pero tiene un no sé qué que cautiva. Es Ella, sin duda, es Ava... I love yuo for ever...
😮
Forgive my potential ignorance, but that is Clark Gable, is it not?
yes
sorry if this comes across as too blunt, but anyone who thinks Grace Kelly upstages Ava here, then you my dear have all your taste in your mouth...
Grace looks like a plain Jane next to Ava here! That's not to say Grace wasn't beautiful as well, but the comparison is a joke.
Grace is pretty but overrated. Ava looks like goddess.
Most men are not blind like you I'm afraid, that's why.
No question Grace Kelly is more beautiful than Ava Gardner. Grace was a vulcano covered with snow. Gorgeous
I disagree with you. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
