Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

Scarlett (Canada) on Ava Gardner
"She was the most gorgeous woman of all time, she was extremely down-to-earth and she lived her life the way she wanted to. She is my idol."

Freddy (Pakistan) on Ava Gardner
"An actress who was more breathtakingy beautiful in real life than all the so-called legendary divas. I saw her along with my sister as a young boy with not a stroke of paint on that face, hair severely tied back. Such perfection we never saw in any of her movies, maybe in a few stills. She had it, the ability to mesmerize in real life. Perhaps that's why she lost interest in her career so early and went and sat in Spain more or less abandoning her career. She could have been the greatest movie diva rather than the tabloid queen of the 1950's.  I admire Gardner's extraordinary physical beauty. After seeing Ava, beauties like Liz Taylor (a  favorite of countless including me) seem merely very pretty."

Jessica (USA) on Ava Gardner
"The most beautiful diva - present and past."

Felicia (USA) on Ava Gardner
"She defines what beauty and glamour truly are."

Dominique (Canada) on Ava Gardner
"She showed a type of glamour that other stars don't show today without even wanting it."

Ava (USA) on Ava Gardner
"I really think she was more down to earth. I'm an actress too and I would love to be discovered like Ava Gardner. She's my idol! It's probably harder to be an actress these days. I'm not giving up though! It's my passion and I'm really great at it! I want to be just like Ava!"

Maria (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"The most beautiful woman in the world."

Kelly (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Ava Gardner has my vote. I am from Smithfield (as was she) and I firmly believe her roots made her who she was. Independent, explosive temper ("When I lose my temper, honey, you can't find it anywhere"), wild, unstoppable, and of course her pictures don't even do her justice (according to the people that I've met that knew her), the most beautiful. She is an inspiration, and her insecurity humanizes a person that would otherwise be a porcelain doll. Amazing!"

Lou (USA) on Ava Gardner
"The most beautiful star ever!"

Lenita (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"... because of her great beauty and personality."

Marija (Croatia) on Ava Gardner
"Her eyes, eyebrows and smile are impressive. She's lively, wild but honest and principal. She lived how she wanted, not others. But on the other hand she is sensible and real lady. I have a feeling that all her life she was looking for something, but never found it. In her every move, look, role she showed desire... but desire for what?"

Jennifer (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Very attractive woman! Not knowing anything about her I saw her photo and her seductive look made me learn who she was. Most beautiful woman I've seen. WOW!"

Maddie (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Ava Gardner was a awesome actress and she just hypnotizes you on the screen. Although she didn't think that she was a good actress, I know ,along with many others, that she is one of the best actresses and divas ever known. Ava Gardner is a beautiful and talented actress. Although she did not think of herself as one, many people (and myself) think she is a true legend. Her autobiography is my favorite book and when I move to Hollywood, I will work my hardest to make her book come to the screen."

Silvia (Spain) on Ava Gardner
"There is no need giving explanations. We only have to see her face."

Natalia (Australia) on Ava Gardner
"She is a talented actress and very beautiful."

Bruce (Hungary) on Ava Gardner
"She was the essence of female americana. A perfect southern beauty with natural grace and an inner fire of independence. I think Sinatra got the inspiration for the song "My Way" after his union with Miss Gardner. She was a natural and a total humanimal (human-animal). And as far as an actress she could turn it out when needed."

Vera (USA) on Ava Gardner
"The most beautiful actress in filmdom history... Period!"

Dave (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Looks - sultry, beautiful, presence. Mogambo."

Angela (USA) on Ava Gardner
"... because she lived her life the way she wanted and did not let the studios or media control her.  Also she would not be bought.  Howard Hughes would have given her anything but she would not sell her love."

Diana (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"Personality. Diva is someone that you cannot explaine. You only understand that she is someone different from all others."

Michael (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Class, compassion and humane."

Petra (Germany) on Ava Gardner
"She was marvelously beautiful, a passionate, yet elegant beauty. As an actress she made only few good films, but some are real classics (e.g. 'The Barefoot Contessa'). It's one of my favourite films since I saw it at about 14 years of age. As a woman she led an independent life, had some very interesting husbands and lovers and lived in several countries. I wonder why her biography hasn't been filmed yet."

Amela (USA) on Ava Gardner
"She was, is and will be the most beautiful and gorgeous woman that ever stepped the Earth. She was a very good actress, which she proved with great performances in "Mogambo","The Barefoot Contessa","The Sun Also Rises","The Killers","The Nights of Iguana" and all the others , no doubt ..."

Ron (USA) on Ava Gardner
"She should be at the top of your list. Her true beauty was never questioned."

A.M. (USA) on Ava Gardner
"The lady had true beauty and guts. Very under-rated, regarding her acting ability."

Jacqueline (Holland) on Ava Gardner
"Ava Gardner is truly the most beautiful actress ever, nobody even comes close to her beauty. She is so lovely, smart & sweet and I love her dimple in her chin and in her cheeks, when she laughs and she has such a sweet voice. I loved her in "Show Boat" and "Mogambo", she was really great in those movies. She is a great actress and I loved her in all her movies I've seen so far. She is indeed "The world's most beautiful animal" as MGM presented her. She is a great personality, who certainly should be remembered."

H.J. (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Her look, figure, intelligence, natural acting, sophistication and chicness."

Orlando (Spain) on Ava Gardner
"The most attractive, beautiful and fascinating creature ever seen in movies or anywhere else."

Alvaro (Spain) on Ava Gardner
"Ava Gardner to me is the illusion of cinema in person. She isn't a great actress like Crawford or Davis but she made a lot of films that remain in my mind forever: Mogambo, Barefoot Countess,... And she was, is and will be the most beautiful animal in the world! (to me she's more beautiful than Liz!)"

Adam (Holland) on Ava Gardner
"She is my favorite diva, because she is a classic beauty, and a great actress."

Barbara (Portugal) on Ava Gardner
"Her looks, her beauty, her glamour, her wild side!"

Pati (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Sophisticated beauty, gorgeous figure, unpredictable behavior....and probably one of the most under-rated of the sirens and true divas of the 40's and 50's."

Carrie (Singapore) on Ava Gardner
"I heard of her name even before Taylor's. Her influence is still evident today. I admire her grace and sophisticated air."

Cody (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Her strong will and confident persona ranks her number one with me.  Also, the fact that she could handle Frank Sinatra's very well endowed cock!"

Sylmia (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Correy (USA) on Ava Gardner
"Elegance, class and she worked for UNESCO."

Sylvain (Canada) on Ava Gardner
"A woman of character who never had any regrets for what she did."

Murillo (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"Ava Gardner is my favorite because of her beauty, for me the most beautiful face I have seen in the films. She had the extreme beauté, a perfect face, with perfect sizes. I wrote about her at University."

Neide (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"... because Ava's face is the most beautiful face one will ever see. She had also perfect bone structure, fantastic eyes, perfect skin.  A beauty."

Filipa (Portugal) on Ava Gardner
"Like someone once said, she was the most beautiful animal on earth. Besides her stunning grace and beauty, her life was both well tough and passionate. She's my favourite Diva."

Jairo (Brazil) on Ava Gardner
"The most beautiful face ever to grace the silver screen."

Pedro (Portugal) on Ava Gardner
"She is my favorite diva because she's the best. And the most wonderful woman and actress of all times."

Edward (USA) on Ava Gardner
”This was a lady with class and her own mind.  Add the gift of beauty and she cannot be beat."
