Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra at a late supper party at Flamingo Hotel, 1951
“A guy like Sinatra,” one of his friends recently explained, “cares absolutely nothing about money when he’s fallen for a girl. My guess is that he’s spent over a thousand bucks in the last three months on long distance calls to Ava.
“All she has to do is to say she wants anything, and in a minute she’s got it. When she came back from Spain, she was on a Spanish kick, wanted to learn pure Castilian. She happened to mention that to Frank. Fifteen minutes later, a messenger boy drove up to her house with a complete set of Spanish language records.
Fortunately for Frank, Ava doesn’t especially like jewelry. Usually she wears only a good luck medallion he gave her, and earrings for which she recently had her ears pierced. Frank gave her a nifty piece of ice when she was in Spain, but the papers got it all wrong. One paper said they were emeralds valued at $10,000; another called them diamonds, costing $50,000, and a third said they were $50,000 worth of pearls that came from the estate of some dead chorus girl. A lot of bunk! Frank gave her a diamond necklace. I don’t know exactly, but I think it cost seven and a half thousand dollars.
But as I said, money means nothing to Frank when he’s in love. He’s a guy who started with nothing. Used to pick up and cash in empty bottles for the deposit dough in Hoboken. He doesn’t want money. He wants happiness. “When he’s with Ava, he’s happy. It’s as simple as that.”
-Modern Screen, Jan. 1951

Wanda: “That’s a hard choice! My 2000s outfit was so comfy, just jeans and a hoodie, then I felt so pretty in the 50’s dress with my big frilly skirt to twirl in - Oh! I just can’t decide!
Agatha: “I can. I know mine”
Y/N: “Well what was it?”
Agatha: “The 80’s, obviously, I mean did you see my jazzercise outfit? I looked so hot in that, especially my as-“

"I turned 17…I received a set of wine-red suitcases as a gift from my mother. With the monogram "R. S.". For my sixteenth birthday, I was given a gold compact with rubies, and now, in addition to it, I received a lipstick case.
…and everyone congratulated me. And Mom cried a little secretly. And there was a huge table with gifts. Everything is for me. A thousand things. If I started counting them, I wouldn't fall asleep until morning. A gold compact with rubies was also here. And a new charm for my bracelet. I have a bracelet from the time of the "Fireworks". And I collect trinkets for it. There are more and more of them! I also took a drop of vermouth, it's for joy."
