Taylor definitely photographed better than Gardner... To receive the full effect of Ava's beauty, you have to see her in motion.

Scroll through and check out the home video footage of Ava's wedding to Sinatra in Philadelphia... My God, she was unreal.

Both were beautiful but I give the edge to Liz. Looking at the pictures, it just seems as though most women back then had fuller faces and nicer cheekbones.

Taylor. I never really quite got the fuss about Gardner's appearance. Ew, what an idiot. Having seen a bit more movies since 2019, I'm switching to Gardner.

A couple of months after my first silly reply I watched Mogambo and since then I've also watched Earthquake, On the Beach, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean and, more importantly for this particular thread, The Killers and very recently The Barefoot Contessa. She was absolutely luminous in the latter two. I just needed to see more of her in her prime.

And most believe The Night of the Iguana is her best performance, so check that one out, too.

I've got Pandora and Iguana in my 'vault' so those were already on the roster but I didn't really know about Junction so I'll definitely keep it in mind as well

Isabella Rossellini and Isabelle Adjani are older, but their facial features were almost perfect in their prime. Adjani is still unbelievably gorgeous. Can't believe she's almost 64. I'm not rolling with that. I think she's gone overboard with the plastic surgery. Her director of Possession said in an interview that directors don't want to work with her because of it. He said she has this obsession with staying young forever. If only she kept a more natural look like Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Huppert did. I don't know if they did anything but they look natural.

quetee - To be fair, the person who said it walked back his opinion after becoming more familiar with Ava and her work.

Taylor was a woman, Garner was a wild fierce.-
I choose Taylor, because even in her lows, was more beautiful than Garner in her lows.- Liz in her prime, has no rival. Was so beautiful that hurts and destroy a movie like for example The Last Time I Saw Paris. Too beautiful for the movie, even when it was shooted in Paris. Garner was more earthier, and was always more adequate for the role.
Still she cannot pass as a virgin, while Liz, at least in her youth, can.-

Just a thought. Exactly but partially, because Gardner started as a teen in the Andy Hardy movies.- And even then, she didn't look like the classic Andy Hardy girl next door virgin.-

hugobolso - Gardner was married to Mickey Rooney - but she wasn't in any of his films. She was under contract to MGM for about 4 years prior to her star-making turn in The Killers in 1946. She did only non-speaking, walk-on type roles up until that time - in grooming her to become a star, MGM had to train her Southern accent out of her.

I'm not a Mickey Rooney fan, so I'm not familiarizated with his Andy Hardy movies. I was sure that she had a supporting roles there in her first movies, but maybe I was wrong.- Any way after seing Betty Grable as a american heiress virgin in Down Argentina Way, I get bored with all the future bimbos or femme fatale as an ingenue.- Lana Turner and Rita Hayworth also portrayed several damsel in destress in their begining usually very bad typcast.-
