    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Gardner, Ava (1922–1990)

US film actor. She was a sensuous star in such films as The Killers (1946), Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951), and The Barefoot Contessa (1954), a tragically slanted Cinderella tale of a Romany girl who becomes an international celebrity.

Her later roles included that of Lillie Langtry in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972). She remained active in film until the 1980s, when she retired to London.

She was married to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra.
