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.
