Ava Gardner and Clark Gable for "Mogambo". Ava recalled going to see "Red Dust"—starring Gable and Jean Harlow—with her mother as a child. Little did she know that she would be starring in the remake with her childhood hero.

Anonymous asked:
which are your favorite of Ava and Liz's movies?
Ava: Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, The Killers, Mogambo, On the Beach. I think she was great in The Barefoot Contessa, but that damn ending...
Elizabeth: Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, A Place in the Sun, Giant, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. I love Cleopatra too (I don’t understand the hate the acting gets) but knowing that it wasn’t the way Manckiewicz wanted it to be keeps it from being my favorite.
