side note: When I worked for Lorimar Productions on the MGM lot I had to deliver some publicity stills to Ms. Gardner's dressing room
(she was appearing as Ruth Galveston on Knots Landing). It was the middle of a sunny afternoon and she was inside
drinking bourbon and chain smoking. She had a deep husky voice (it was always deep and husky)
and she asked me in. I showed her what I had brought down from the publicity dept.

On the sly, I also brought with me my favorite photograph of her from The Killers (1946).

this one.

She couldn't remember very much about the photograph except that she was afraid the table was going to flip over.
She asked me if I wanted her to sign it. So I said yes of course.

...and that was that. Quite exciting for a 23 year old transplant (me) from rural Illinois.
She died soon after.
