A Folded English Special Poster (measures 18 1/2" x 56" [47 x 142 cm]) (Learn More) Ava Gardner was an actress from the 1940s to the 1980s. Surprisingly, Hollywood did not recognize the talents of this beautiful actress for years, because she had a long string of tiny or uncredited roles before she became a star! Some of her movies include: Mogambo (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), The Killers, On the Beach, The Barefoot Contessa, Bhowani Junction, and many others! She was married three times to famous celebrities: Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra. She also struck a friendship with Ernest Hemingway, who, after witnessing Gardner swim naked in his pool, told his staff "the water is not to be emptied"! She passed away in 1990 at the age of 67. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this English poster, and they sold for $138 (in only "fair to good" condition) and $117! This unusual and very large poster was a supplement to the August 1954 edition of Lilliput Magazine, a British magazine that apparently had a risque reputation, and after seeing this poster, we can certainly understand why! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
