Description
1942 and landed an early featured role in the Dr. Gillespie movie "Three Men in White" (1944). Gardner achieved stardom playing femme fatale Kitty Collins opposite Burt Lancaster in "The Killers" (1946), with her earthy charm and magnetic beauty combining to make her one of Hollywood's reigning sex symbols through the next decade. Among her most notable film performances are her roles in "The Hucksters" (1947), "Show Boat" (1951), "Mogambo" (1953), "The Barefoot Contessa" (1954), "On the Beach" (1959), "Seven Days in May" and "The Night of the Iguana" (both 1964). Much to her chagrin, her private life--which included three marriages (Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra), some notorious escapades and a reputation as a spirited, hard-drinking, frank-talking playgirl--was well-documented in the press. She moved to Spain in the mid-1950s and then to England (continuing to work on a semi-regular basis into the 80s) where she lived quietly until her death in 1990.
