Ava Gardner was born in 1922 in North Carolina, and moved to New York in 1941, where she was discovered by a talent scout from MGM. She signed a contract with the studio and appeared in small roles until she got her big break in The Killers, which earned her critical acclaim and made her a star. She went on to star in many films, such as Show Boat, Mogambo, The Barefoot Contessa, The Night of the Iguana, and On the Beach, working with some of the best directors and actors of her time. She was nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her performances. She was also famous for her personal life, having been married to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra, and having affairs with Howard Hughes, Ernest Hemingway, and Luis Miguel Dominguín. She died in 1990 in London, at the age of 67.
