She s up every morn ing at 6 and on the set at 9. If any proof were needed of the professionalism of this cast it is the fact that after 12 weeks of shooting we Are winding up a Day ahead of schedule. I like to shoot que wkly m the actors Don t get bored sit Ting around waiting. Ava livens things up with her wit and she occasionally Breaks into a flamenco the Cassandra crossing based on a script by Cosmatos and Robert Katz is a thriller set aboard a trans european express train which after one of the passengers comes Down with a deadly virulent Bacil Lus is shunted toward a quarantine area in Poland. An american military officer in command of the operation is determined to keep the train and the Passen Gers from infecting All Europe with the disease and the Pas sengers in turn Are desperate to get off the train. The cast in addition to Gardner and Loren includes Burt Lancaster Ingrid Tim Lin Richard Harris Lee Strasberg Martin Sheen o. J. Simpson and Lionel Stander. Stander who is 88 and plays the train conductor hunched Forward in his chair and said Ava and Sophia Are truly Fine actresses. There Are some remarkable younger actresses around today but few have that bigger than life Quality you find in Ava and Sophia. It is a magic an a Quality that is increasingly after a Quarter Century in films Ava Gardner remains a woman of remarkable Beauty with flashing slanted eyes Lustrous hair and an excellent figure. And if her jaw line is not quite so firm Well she is 54 years old. Her voice is Rich and throaty and she uses it like a musical instrument with dramatic highs and lows changes in accent and sprinkled with profanities. She has led a tempestuous hard living existence with marriages to Mickey Rooney Artie Shaw and Frank Sina tra. For the last decade she has lived abroad first in Madrid and now in London. I be really Only three she said my Hus i m closer to Frank now than the others. Frank is an exceptional Man and one of the kindest persons i have Ever Martin Sheen s wife approached. Could i trouble you for a signature on this she asked tentatively. Tain no trouble at All said Ava Gardner her drawl deepening. Happy to do she wrote for my dear baby Martin much love i m not comfortable act Gardner continued. I rarely read the whole script for a film and sometimes not even All of my part. They say that Good dubbers make bad actors and vice versa. Well Clark Gable and i were known As the quickest at dubbing roles at Mem. So i guess that tells you something about my acting ability. I be never been Happy in the movie world. I know it s ungrateful to complain you accept the Money and you accept what goes with it the loss of privacy the constant spotlight. You go out for an evening and everyone watches to see whether you take one drink or three before dinner. What i like about London is you can take your dog for a walk in the Park and nobody notices you. To me sanity is More important than Star Dom. The important thing is to survive As a person. Survival is the thing. Over the years i be come to hate the press the Way words get twisted. It hurts to see these twisted things in print it really hurts. It makes you mistrust newspapers. I d like very much some time to write a Book and take what s been written about me All the lies and misquotes and then print the truth. But i probably won t. It would take too much time and i m too Lazy. I be chosen to live in Lon Don because it is a pleasant place very civilized. I be been flying up there week ends. But i Don t consider my self a european or an expatriate. I consider myself an american. You bet i do the conversation shifted to the . Political Campaign. For Hubert said Gardner and i la bet that Hubert Humphrey is going to be the next president. Jimmy i Ain t no Georgia peach baby i m a said the lady from Smithfield . When Richard Nixon abdicated i sent Gerald Ford a Telegram saying that i would sleep better at night knowing he was in the White House. I signed it with my name and added an american demo crat Ford wrote me Back a Nice personal letter i though god How Nice. I was so pleased. It was something i could Frame. Then a few Days later he went and pardoned Nixon and washed the whole thing Down the Drain. No Humphrey s the Man for ;
