Product Description

Product Description

Sex-appeal and heaps of personality. A tribute to one of the international cinema's unquestionably great movie queens. This splendidly illustrated book retraces the artistic and private life of a beautiful, charismatic and exceptional woman. An extraordinary artistic career: on the movie scene for 45 years, Ava starred in 72 films. An artist who linked her name to Hollywood and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Complete and easy to read, the book is enhanced by a rich selection of private and public black and white photos and 30 stunning colour photos. The book also provides an account of each of Ava Gardner's films, including cast and credits and a brief synopsis. The 25th January 2003 celebrates the 13th anniversary of her death (1990). This is the legendary story of Ava, from her cinema debut together with Clark Gable, to the movies played next to Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck or John Wayne, in films such as Mogambo and Pandora and The Flying Dutchman. The story of a sex symbol, whose marriages to Mickey Rooney, Art Shaw and Frank Sinatra prompted gossip world wide; the story of a passionate and courageous rebel, who at one point even fell victim to alcohol abuse, but stubbornly rejected her role as a star throughout her movie career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, enthralling reading, 9 Oct 2003
By Mystery fan (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
This book is a must-buy for all fans of Ava Gardner or fans of the golden age of Hollywood. There are plenty of glorious photographs of Ava, including many from her films. The book largely deals with her career, it is a good insight into all the films she made. I definitely recommend it!
