Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This wickedly candid memoir that Ava Gardner dared not publish during her lifetime offers a revealing selfportrait of the film legends life and loves in Hollywoods golden age.I EITHER WRITE THE BOOK OR SELL THE JEWELS, Ava Gardner told her coauthor, Peter Evans, and Im kinda sentimental about the jewels. So began the collaboration that led to this remarkably candid, wickedly sardonic memoir.Ava Gardner was one of Hollywoods great stars during the 1940s and 1950s, an Oscarnominated leading lady who costarred with Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, and Humphrey Bogart, among others. Her films included Show Boat, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, The Barefoot Contessa, and On the Beach. But her life off the screen was every bit as fabulous as her film roles.Born poor in rural North Carolina, Gardner was given a Hollywood tryout thanks to a stunning photo of her displayed in a shop window. Not long after arriving in Hollywood, she caught the eye of Mickey Rooney, then Americas #1 boxoffice draw. Rooney was a womanizer so notorious that even his mother warned Gardner about him. They married, but the marriage lasted only a year (my shortest husband and my biggest mistake). Ava then married band leader and clarinetist Artie Shaw, who would eventually marry eight times, but that marriage, too, lasted only about a year (he was a dominating son of a bitch . . . always putting me down). She carried on a passionate affair with Howard Hughes but didnt love him, she said. Her third marriage was a tempestuous one to Frank Sinatra (We were fighting all the time. Fighting and boozing. It was madness. . . . But he was good in the feathers).Faithfully recording Avas reminiscences in this book, Peter Evans describes their latenight conversations when Ava, having had something to drink and unable to sleep, was at her most candid. So candid, in fact, that when she read her own words, she backed out and halted the book. Only now, years after her death, could this frank and revealing memoir be published.If I get into this stuff, oh, honey, have you got something coming, Ava told Evans. Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations is the stunning story of a legendary stars public and private lives.
