Description

Retracing the artistic and private life of a beautiful, charismatic, and exceptional movie queen, this splendidly illustrated biography draws fascinating and hitherto unexplored parallels between Ava Gardner’s personal life and her screen roles. The accounts of each of Ava’s films—including cast, credits, and a brief synopsis—are accompanied by a rich selection of private and public black-and-white as well as color photos. More than the story of a woman, this is the story of a myth that sheds new light on an enigmatic, enchanting movie legend. Her fascinating story is brought to life through Gilles Dagneau’s sharp, psychological study and the sumptuous photography.
