Happy Halloween from Ava Gardner(pictured above), who is also going to be TCM's November Star of the month, Thursdays in November. Ava was signed to a contract by MGM Studios in 1941 and performed in small roles until she drew attention with her performance in The Killers (1946). She became one of Hollywood's leading actresses, considered one of the most beautiful women of her day. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in Mogambo (1953).
