Ava Gardner - memorial

Inscription

In loving memory of Ava Gardner, 1922 - 1990.
Carmen and Morgan

Ava lived in Ennismore Gardens, in the first floor apartment the windows of which can be seen in the photograph. We were told that Carmen was Ava's maid and went on to work for Gregory Peck. Morgan was Ava's dog, a corgi, if all the photos are anything to go by.

2024: The BFI has "And that dog, Morgan, has his own memorial, in the garden of a house that once belonged to his next owner after Ava, Gregory Peck." It's not clear if the referenced house is this one or another.
