Having never seen either one of them on film, I only know these legendary actresses by their stills.
Based on the photos shown above, I cast my vote for Ava Gardner.

Ava Garder, no contest

At 8 votes to 2, Ava had Veronica on the ropes with a golden opportunity to put her away (7-vote margin automatically ends match via TKO). However, underdog Veronica apparently is not ready to be ousted just yet, seemingly refusing to go down without a fight!

I just ended it. Voted for Ava and put her up 10-3

For the record I would consider myself a very lucky man if Veronica was my woman. I voted for Ava but Veronica is a stunner, too

Okay then, that seals the deal!
Btw, had this been a poll about sex appeal, Veronica would have won this match hands down, as she was regarded as a sex symbol much more than Ava, who was known primarily for her sheer beauty. Kinda like Liz Taylor to me... beautiful but not much in the way of sex appeal.

I have to admit, from a historical perspective, I've learned quite a bit thus far in prepping for these matches.

100% agree - Ava's face is better.............Veronica's body and sex appeal is better
