I read Ava Gardner's biography and if I'm not mistaken she mentions that he was well endowed.

LMAO! That is so funny! I bet the drive in was packed that night!Originally posted by Pecker@Mar 22 2005, 05:23 PM
BTW. I saw it at a drive-in movie theater. It was double-billed with another Ava movie. I swear the marquee looked like this:
ON THE BEACH
WITH AVA GARDNER
NAKED IN THE SUN

I didn't know that about the Singapore Sling. Very interesting tidbit indeed. 'Night Of The Iguana' is a wonderful film and one of my Ava favourites. I also love 'The Barefoot Contessa' and 'Mogambo' too and of course 'Show Boat.' Here's a little known fact, Edna Ferber's 'Show Boat' is set on the Mississippi River but she actually spent several weeks aboard a show boat in North Carolina and based The Cotton Blossom and it's characters on her encounters there. There's some useless trivia for ya!

I was 13 when I was introduced to Ava on the screen in On the Beach. Nearly poked a hole in my pants. One line became immortal to me: Gregory Peck to Ava on his sad return to a doomed Australia: "Is your invitation to spread a little fertilizer still open?"

The Singapore Sling was invented just for Ava. It's got a mega dose of alcohol and you can drink them all night. It was at one of those 40's/50's hotels where only the very richest people could go and not be bothered by press or public. The quote about Sinatra is true. He must have been the biggest because Ava slept with a lot of the biggest guys around, including Robert Mitchum. I don't think she slept with Gary Cooper, they may have missed each other. He was supposed to be quite hung. I hear Grace Kelley had some of that... High Noon, indeed.
My very favorite Ava Gardner movie is "Night of the Iguana." It was based on the play by Tennesse Williams. I highly recommend it. She smokes pot and spends a lot of time on the beach with a couple of hunky cabana boys who are barely legal and don't speak English... Nice gig, Ava... Of course, Tennesse knew a thing or two about partying with cabana boys...

Well, it is part of my profession to be knowledgeable of my craft. I haven't had a Singapore Sling in a million years. They are good but they certainly cannot compare with my favourite, a Mojito! Yum-Yum! By the way I put my avatar in the gallery so you can get a closer look if you wish. Oh and thanks for the recipe too! :toast:Originally posted by jeepwranglerboi+Mar 22 2005, 04:57 PM--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jeepwranglerboi @ Mar 22 2005, 04:57 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'>Originally posted by Satsfakshun@Mar 22 2005, 08:16 PM

Jeepers, Wrangler...
You don't look like the kind of boy who studies up on musicals. But that's okay. They're kind of addictive. As are Singapore Slings:
SINGAPORE SLING
30ml Gin
15ml Cherry Brandy
120ml Pineapple Juice
15ml Lime Juice
7.5ml Cointreau
7.5ml Dom Benedictine
10ml Grenadine
A dash of Angostura Bitters
Garnish with a slice of pineapple & cherry
I think 30 ml = a shot.
They have a fruit punch/nutty almondine taste...
Love the new 4-way avatar. I'd like to see a larger version, 'cause you're so hot and I can't pick out much detail the way it is.
