Ava Gardner #1

[Ziegfeld Girl]

That is a good outfit for your speech saraab. It looks like something Ava would have worn in Mogambo which was set in Africa so she wore quite a few clothes that had a similar style and used similar material to that dress. I think it will be great.

Ava Gardner is absolutely beautiful. I want to learn more about her as a person, too.

Ava Gardner's bio by Lee Gardner "Love Is Nothing" is hands-down the best celeb-bio I have ever read. Her life was like a movie, just incredible. She was crazy...lol...so cool though.

 

[Ziegfeld Girl]

I think it is written by Lee Server. Ava Gardner's autobiography is a good read.

 

[zembla]

Oh yeah Server...lol...thanks.

I've read bits of "Love Is Nothing" - I want to read more. It seems like a good book, the parts I read were just like a well-written novel. It's on my must-read list now.
