recommended for: people who like Frank Sinatra
I didn't know much about Ava Gardner except that I saw the Barefoot Contessa (with Humphrey Bogart) and Mogambo (with Clark Gable) and thought she acted exceptionally well in both movies, so I decided to check out this book. The majority of it is about her sexcapades with tons of dudes, including Fidel Castro, and it was an empowering description of a woman being in charge of her sexuality. But the sexcapades got old after awhile. I wanted to know more about the movies she was in and what filming them was like. There's a lot in there about her relationship to Frank Sinatra, but it just made me want to read a Frank Sinatra biography instead of finishing hers.
