Ava Gardner Makeup + Biography | Ashley Aye | Beauty Biography

[@rei_lo]

Ava Gardner is stunning and one of my favorite beauty icons from the golden age of Hollywood! I really enjoyed listening to this while I was getting glam myself haha. This makes me want to read up on her autobiography & The Sun Also Rises. Love this in depth series 💅✨

[@gerimorrison9322]

What a wonderful way she looked at acting and her life! if we could all do that and just enjoy things 💜

[@AshleyAye]

Hi Geri! 🥰 for sure! She was very grounded!!!

[@teresavandyck784]

I have just discovered this show and I love it. Thank you for giving all these ladies the love & compassion they deserved all along, especially Ava and Lana & Gene T. What beauties they were, without plastic surgery or fake boobs. The most beautiful women I admire are from that era in Hollywood. Stay with it because we need these role models. Sadly, we don’t have any free m today.

[@AshleyAye]

Thank you so much 🤍 my goal is always to show compassion and highlight the humanity of these icons so I greatly appreciate your kind words 🙏🏻

[@frankmarter6845]

Ava is visual perfection. No one could match her. She lived as she wanted but made some poor decisions. They cost her.

[@AshleyAye]

She truly was an incredible natural beauty!!!

I am crazy about these iconic truly beautiful female stars in your videos. I’ve read books and seen documentaries etc on all of them and you do a great job breaking down and digging in to their lives. And down to earth and natural. You e got a fan here! Keep it coming and thanks. Next, I’m watching Lana Turner ❤!

[@izzyellery501]

This is the best series on KZbin ever!!! Such a creative idea, and the passion you have for old Hollywood just makes these videos so entertaining and captivating! I love learning about a different star each week. Thank you for all your research and time and effort you put into these videos!

Hi Ashley, I just wanted to say that I LOOOOVE Beauty Biography and your videos are the only one-hour long videos that I religiously watch. Thank you so much for your effort, time, and storytelling. It's a real pleasure to listen to you.

[@AshleyAye]

Thank you so much! That is such an amazing compliment and it just brought the biggest smile to my face! 🥰 thank you for sharing this with me!!!

This was such a happy story! Ann Margaret went to my high school, so I’d love to see her.

[@AshleyAye]

Right?! So glad we found a happy one after a few sad ones! Ooooh Ann Margaret would be perfect for a spring episode!!! 😍 the ingenue makeup look is one of my faves!

[@conniecollins1592]

Ann Sheridan was such a good actress who was never recognized for her talents. She was a very private person so it appears there is little out there to learn if this talented beautiful woman. if you ever do a piece in her I would watch it over and over. She is my favorite from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Your videos are absolutely wonderful about the stars of the past. Thanks for your time and efforts. You come across as a beautiful person in many ways

[@maureenhansen8321]

This is my favorite thing to watch and listen as I get ready for work on Fridays! I love the part of the “ monster” in the way, the green eyed one! I love your added commentaries Ashley!

I am from Massachusetts - and you’ve already covered my favorite : Bette Davis (Charlotte Vale - Now Voyager....ugh - the best).

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

My thoughts at the end, that Ava could honestly say "I did it my way," which of course, was dear to Frank. Here I live in eastern NC too... and my idea of a good life is spending more time in Europe, we lived in Frankfurt, GE for 3+yrs (1980 the year our son was born, he's now 40 omg!). I grew up all over New England, and that's where my heart is, but the winters! Thanks Ashley for another wonderful Fri experience. I can't wait till your channel has over a million subs!

[@AshleyAye]

Hi Yvonne! Yes that is spot on - she did do it her way and how fitting!!! 🥰 That is so cool that you lived in Germany - my husband lived there as a child on a base for a couple years around that same time! 🥰 I’m so glad you are enjoying the series and I appreciate your kind words so much!

Again, another fabulous video!!!!!! I’m such a HUGE Frankie fan and loved hearing about their relationship from you, as well! And a side note-I’m probably the biggest Robert Mitchum fan you’ll ever meet! Lol! In “his day”, I thought he was such a handsome man and I just love who he was! He played Max Cady pretty awesomely in Cape Fear, huh???? May I suggest you watch my favorite film of his, Holiday Affair (if you haven’t already), w/ Janet Leigh? It’s such a wonderful film and he’s uber handsome in it!

[@AshleyAye]

Thank you Angie! 🥰 omg Robert Mitchum scares me so much lol! I think because I first saw him in Cape Fear and I was definitely TOO YOUNG to see that movie when my family first watched it together lol. I am going to watch Holiday Affair with an open mind though in hopes that it will help me overcome my fear lol! Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️

[@LuisaRodriguez0212]

Ashley, look for Mitchum movies featuring Shirley MacLaine she brought out the lighter side of Robert Mitchum.

So much I didn't know about Ava. No offense to Ann Bancroft but Ava Gardner would be more tempting as Mrs. Robinson in the Graduate. What is the darker make up you use for contouring? A foundation stick? The celebrity born in my hometown of Bronx, NY? Lauren Bacall. When you can please cover Ann Sheridan, Yvonne De Carlo and Greta Garbo.

A great tribute to a super great Actress, Ava Gardner! I realize that not all details can be disclosed in 51 minutes, but I think it important to add that (If I recall correctly?) Frank Sinatra paid for Ms. Gardner's funeral expenses. And that Gregory Peck agreed to take Ava's house keeper, Carmen, and Ava's dog, Morgan, to his guest suite in his private home after Ava died! Then when Morgan (Ava's dog) died, he buried the dog in his own private estate! Why would these two great towering Actors choose to so honor the late Ava Gardner, except that they both loved her in their own special way, despite their own separate marriages! A remarkable tribute to a most remarkable lady all around!

[@GirlfriendNinja]

I think Ava Gardner did not know what she was working with. She lost her virginity to Mickey Rooney who she married, and that lil squirt had the audacity to mess around on her! And that funny looking Frank Sinatra?? She could have done sooo much better. She should have gotten her a nice well to do businessman who would have loved and adored her, like Susan Hayward did.

[@patriciacortese4917]

How-do from a Johnston with many connections in Johnston county, NC. I won't get into all the Confederate soldiers or Masons who became lawyers in Raleigh and mayors because such people are, sad for them, not interesting. HOWEVER my great aunt Chloe Johnston is probably remembered still. Her husband, Mr. Wall, had a bank in Clayton full of the hard earned money of people like the Gardners and in 1932 it collapsed. As he died from the stress Chloe promised him she would repay everyone who lost their savings. She was a teacher in Clayton and wrote children's books under Chloe Johnston Wall and lived in one of those little 2 story white frame houses. By the 1960s she had repaid everybody. Another aunt, Gail, had the loveliest rose garden in Smithfield. She remembered Ava...I asked her. Me? The summer my young husband, Cliff, and I barned tobacco in Zebulon was one of the happiest (1973). Yes, it was hot and rigorous but the share cropper family, theTernnages, were the sweetest, most loving big family. Their youngest girl was to be married at the end of the season when the $ came in. Mr. Ternnage couldn't bear giving his daughters away (There were 3 others) and asked my husband, Cliff, to do it because he couldn't trust himself not to bawl. It was in a tiny country Baptist church with only hand fans. We were so influenced by experiences like that our families were very disappointed and we ended up poor with many children. The worst of barning tobacco was not the work, which was fun with great and very "integrated" company. The worst was the tobacco worms with sticky goo that needed scraping off every day! There was 5 months with nothing to do but play with those babies and watch TV at the Turnnages old house. Thank you for sharing the NC memories and God bless all here.

[@rcjdeanna5282]

My favorite story about Ava was at the end in London. She and her very long time best friend, a black woman, went for a walk. Ava lost her footing and fell down next to a tree where both of them remained on the ground laughing like kids together a long time.
