Ava's first true Valentine, Mickey Rooney (b. 1920), was smitten by her looks as soon as he laid eyes on her. Married in 1942 and divorced just over a year later, Ava later revered her relationship with Mickey as a studio-era young romance.

"Ava was certainly one of the prettiest geese around. Miss G was lucky. She had the beauty and the money ... and as the years went on, she did make the most of it."
