I think she is Nadine Tallier (the future Baroness de Rothschild), when she was a film starlet.
Here she is seen posing with a different kind of beast.

All women looked the same back then - they were made in New Jersey by some guy called Stepford. He also experimented on animals, and you will note that he has worked on a pushmepullyou by amputating one of the heads.

Was she a starlet, or related to the cars owner or driver?

Sorry, I see there was a serious question in there, too. The answer is 'yes'.

Right. Is it Ava Gardner during filming of the movie "On The Beach", sitting in a Ferrari at Riverside Raceway or Phillip Island?

If Nicanary hadn't warned us that all women looked the same back then, I'd have said that this girl looks like Ava Garner as the car looks a Cadillac!

It could be Ava after she'd just smelled something nasty! Sorry to be pedantic, but the reply about the lady was a bit ambiguous - is she a starlet OR related to the driver or team owner?

That was intentional - one question at a time is the norm here. But in this case, as you are a recent joiner, I'll let you know she was an actress.
