From a humble family, Ava Gardner, “the most beautiful animal in the world”, was discovered by Barney Duhan, a talent scout for MGM, who concluded that, despite being a terrible actress, she photographed very well. She started out earning $50 a week, taking photos and debuting in “We Were Dancing”, in 1942, followed by several uncredited appearances. Her first husband, Mickey Rooney, got her some roles, with the vast knowledge he had at MGM. She made more than sixty films throughout her career, working alongside great directors such as John Ford and George Cukor. Although she was initially not considered a good actress, shaped by diction and acting lessons, Ava managed to develop and was even nominated for an Oscar for Mogambo. She died in Europe, where she lived for two decades.
