Even at that stage of Ava Gardner's life when was past her prime, had been living hard in the fast lane for years, she was still stunning. For beauty I see none of the "star" actresses of today who can even hold a candle to many of the "stars" of the earlier days of "Golden Hollywood."

Sure, they all faded, just as do all of us, but in their prime, they were extraordinary.
