Non-Fiction Biography
It is said men literally had to support themselves against
buildings when she walked by. She was that beautiful. She
was the great sex symbol of her time, and also a bad girl
who became the obsession of many of the biggest names of her
day-including Frank Sinatra, Ernest Hemingway, and Howard
Hughes. She drank, fought, and slept around with the best of
them. She married some too: Mickey Rooney, the biggest star
on the MGM lot; Artie Shaw, the charismatic, cold-blooded
bandleader; Sinatra, whose jealousy she battled like a
wildcat and whose dreams she haunted for the rest of his
life.This biography is rich with style, detail, and a sense
of place. Prodigiously researched and laced with fascinating
fresh interviews with many who worked with, knew-or
loved-Gardner, many speaking on the record for the first
time, Ava Gardner: Love is Nothing, repositions the
talented star as a woman who lived large, long, and
precisely as she wanted to.
