An MGM talent scout saw Gardner's photo in a New York shop window where she had begun as a fashion model., Soon she was signed up with the studio and in Hollywood. She went through MGM's "in-house finishing school," but the studio "then all but lost sight of her."^* "Movie Stars: The odd and amazing careers of Ava Gardner, Barbra Streisand, Patricia Neal and Ed Sullivan," short reviews by By Dennis Drabelle, Washington Post Book World, Sunday, July 2, 2006; Page BW08, "One Woman Riot" section, reviewing Lee Server's "Ava Gardner: 'Love Is Nothing'"
