Whenever I look back at actresses of the past, Ava Gardner always strikes me as one of the most beautiful. And her voice was smooth and sexy. Wish modern women had as much class. And no tattoos! Yuck...

One of my favorites! A true natural beauty. Favorite movie " Mogambo" with my favorite Handsome actor Clark Gable. What a pair!

[@magdamartinez2418]

hay incongruencias en el video, pies de fotos que no se corresponden, una foto que corresponde a la película On the beach la titulan como que Ava estuvo en una playa en los años 40, deberían revisar estas cosas, es una sugerencia
