Richard Stueber's Reviews > Ava: My Story

This autobiography was recorded on tape by Ava Gardner in more than two years before her death on January 25, 1990. There are also short chapters by the following: Ava'a sister Myra Gardner Pearce; the actors Arlene Dahl, Lena Horne, Gregory Peck and Roddy McDowell: writer Stephen Birmingham: designer Franka; and Ava's employee Mearene Jordan.
It could be said that Ava was unlucky in love. Of her three marriages only that to Frank Sinatra lasted as much as two years. And she ended up living alone in London, England. This doesn't mean that a lot of people didn't love her. She just did it her own way.
My favorite films of her were 'One Touch of Venus' in which she played a statue of the goddess Venus that come to life, and 'Mogambo', adverures in the African bush with Clark Gable and Grace Kelly.
I must read one or two other biographies to see what they have to say.
