Happy Birthday Ava Lavinia Gardner December 24th, 1922- January 25th, 1990

“The last time I saw her was not long before she died,” said Lucia Graves. “And I remember looking up at her from the street, seeing her through the window of her flat without seeing me. I remember how she had once been, and I could not help feeling sad that she had lost her wonderful beauty. But, you know, the moment you were with her and she spoke to you- when you heard the affection in her voice and her sense of humour, her sense of life- you saw that nothing had really gone away, nothing was lost, she was still beautiful.

When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea. And paint. With a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.

Rick- Was La Belle Aurore. 
Ilsa- How nice, you remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris.
