it was amazing

Jaw dropping and honest. As in your face as Keith Richards LIFE, but years before it.

Ava was bisexual and loved to go to bordellos - even taking Grace Kelly with her during the filming of MOGAMBO with Clark Gable. Married to Sinatra, every time he cheated on her- she did the same to him! He actually tried to commit suicide more than once over her.

She even beat up Howard Hughes sending him to the hospital!

Sexy and beautiful beyond belief- she was also honest as hell.

Quotes Mike Liked

Ava Gardner
“Hell, I suppose if you stick around long enough they have to say something nice about you.”
Ava Gardner, Ava: My Story

Ava Gardner
“Don't think for a minute that bad publicity and endless criticism don't leave their claw marks on everyone concerned. Your friends try to cheer you up by saying lightly, "I suppose you get used to it, and ignore it." You try. You try damned hard. But you never get used to it. It always wounds and hurts.”
Ava Gardner, Ava: My Story

Ava Gardner
“Our phone bills were astronomical, and when I found the letters Frank wrote me the other day, the total could fill a suitcase. Every single day during our relationship, no matter where in the world I was, I'd get a telegram from Frank saying he loved me and missed me. He was a man who was deseperate for companionship and love. Can you wonder that he always had mine!”
Ava Gardner, Ava: My Story

Ava Gardner
“And the news got worse. It appeared that there was this whole other person Jesus Christ whose birthday a lot of people tended to confuse with mine. I was personally outraged. It was a long time before I forgave the Lord for that.”
