The man who wouldn’t look at Ava Gardner

Ava mentions in her autobiography the story of this Guard outside Buckingham Palace in London. Ava tried to draw his attention, she circled him, made jokes, danced in front of him, but the guard resisted the urge successfully and never looked at her, some time later she met his daughter at the airport, she came up to Ava and told her about the day her father met Ava Gardner.
