She is one of the most beautiful actress of her generation. I bought her biography so I can learn more about her I only know her through films I watch in turner classic movie I’m born way way back during her time I only knew about her through my grandmother. I hope I can visit her museum in North Carolina someday
An excellent biography! Watching it you get know & understand her somewhat. I'ts hard not to admire her strength of character. I admire her for fleeing the clutching control of the studio system who virtually owned the lives of the performers in those days. Heartwarming that people had good words to say about & that she remained good friends with Frank Sinatra after their tumoultous marraige. Lastly,she chose to be buried with her family in North Carolina instead of some famous Hollywood site.
An interesting anecdote: Ava was a huge fan of Bette Davis and happened to meet her by chance in a hotel in Madrid. "miss Davis, I'm Ava Gardner and I'm a big fan ot yours" - to which (to the delight of Ava) "Of course you are, my dear, of course you are" and she swept upstairs. "I just loved her looks" Ava once quipped
When I think of Ava, it's not as one of Frank Sinatra's wives. She was the most gorgeous woman in the world for many years, good actress, liberated, free, shy, all the things that make a good actor. Fascinating life. Absolutely stunning and she had dimples. Unreal face.
@G Galeno while she was living her life I don't think she was sad. she led the high life in Hollywood and starred in great films. In retrospect, after she sort of drifted away from Hollywood and was living in London, yes, in retrospect, she felt she had accomplished nothing and probably would have rather had a man and family.
Do you really think that she was shy? I may be wrong, but I think that she strikes me as someone who was anything but. And again, I MAY be wrong. She was a VERY beautiful woman!!
Meareen Jordan.....Ava's life long personnal assistant loved Ava. Color blind, spunky, and more talented than the Hollywood machine would give her credit for. Ava would be a fore runner of the #metoo movement today. Left Hollywood because she did not like how Hollywood sterotyped women. 1 of a kind.....Sinatra knew this.....
But lost that genuine, natural beauty, because of drinking and smoking. And why was she that way? She was just a beautiful country girl and was never prepared for all the limelight and attention of Hollywood.
The remind me of Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton. People who had a very deep love and attraction. But couldn't handle the day to day aspects of a relationship.

When Elizabeth Taylor met her she remarked your more beautiful than me. I agree Ava's face was made for the cinema Elizabeth's face is made for everything else.
@@Daisy_982 No, she did not have a "chin implant." The dimple is evident in her photos as a child -- a few of which are featured in this very video upon which you commented.
Кто не видел фильм " На берегу"1959г. Обязательно посмотрите.Две звёзды Ава Гарднер и Грегори Пек захватывающе сыграли свои роли,там несколько душераздирающих сцен.Талант режиссера и актеров!
I love how much these biographers seem to understand and enjoy Ava Gardner's life and career. I remember her acting on Knots Landing. She did such a good job with the character. I think she was never treated or allowed to be an actress in the beginning. So she had no confidence in her ability.
Ava Gardner was a very beautiful talented actress. My very favorite actress. It's too bad that she never had a chance for a happy marriage with children. I would love to have her fried chicken recipe, it was supposed to be great. She did have many good friends and admired by many. When she died Gregory Peck adopted her dog. RIP Ava you were better than you thought.
I had heard of her before I saw the movie "The Bible" when I was 13 years old . I never forgot her after that. Her acting was perfect. Back then they only would show mainly B movies or science fiction on T.V. so I never saw those A movies from the 1940s and 50s so much.
She was an intelligent person so moulding herself to what was required to be approved was easy. Whilst her feelings about herself was low, She was intuitively clever, and very much her own person.
The y should have interviewed Lana Turner about Ava while she was alive! I read Lana and Ava took Rita Hayworth out on the town to get Rita to loosen up!
She appeared to be very down to earth. Hard partyer, hard drinker and smoker. We know what that can do to anyone's looks. I think she left town because she didn't want to be judged on her looks as she aged. I think it must be hard to be beautiful, and to lose your looks as you age, to have people judge you on something you really had nothing to do with, your looks. If I could do a job that would only take several months of my life yet pay me enough to live a few years on I would do it too then complain how much I hate the demands the work put on me😐
Ava Gardner proves that being beautiful doesnt mean you shouldnt live the life you want to...she was not happy being a movie star.....because she never should have been one......that...is the real tragedy of Ava Gardner
Yes. She was used for her looks. She wasn't respected like K Hepburn or Bette Davis (I can't imagine her in Night of the Iguana). K Hepburn had affairs with married men and did everything that Ava did. But some how that was okay.
@@janejones7638 I think it’s because K Hepburn didn’t rub her affairs with married men in everyone’s faces like Ava did. She was still wrong for going there (and so was the married man too) but at least she tried to keep her private affairs private.
Topp femme fatale ♥️ i got into watching classics because of Ava ive seen her pics on Pinterest I didnt even know her name 😂then booom I cant get her out of my head. I wasn't even born yet when she died. But damn classic Hollywood actresses are somethin else 👌
Magically beautiful. We know they lived life to the fullest. Alcohol and cigs take a toll. None of the beauties escaped. But, when they were in their prime, absolutely gorgeous. Can't think of anyone today with that kind of magic. Sure miss them, Liz, Hedy, Vivien.
linda nathan Don’t agree. It suited those looks. That of a very sexy woman. She was Cinema not the Theatre. In retrospect she was a great cinema actress. No silly over acting like Susan Hayward or Liz Taylor and you name them all. All but Ava. She said it all With those expressive shoulders. And yes she looked beautiful even with BAGS under her eyes. Stunning woman
@@fareedmalik6777 I will say this and many won't agree, Ava lived her life, it seems, good or bad the way she wanted to. Truth be told she appears to have been an alcoholic who smoked and drank her beauty away too soon. That doesn't take away from the fact that she was beautiful, and kind and should have been here much longer but her life was her choice.
@@vickiepaul8258 Ava had just turned 67 when she died, yet she had aged a great deal in her last 4 or 5 years. She looked great for her age til she was about 61 or 62, then went down fast. Right before she died she looked close to 80.
Well presented. I don't think Sinatra paid for the funeral but he did pay substantial medical bills for her since she was quite ill for several years before she died. She probably regretted having ever taken up smoking!
I know how to describe it why i Like her more then Marilyn Monroe. Because something deep there is about her. And that eyes! She was real and crude!! I never Like affected acting as Marilyn Monroe or Lady Gaga.
rather well done as everything said here is true and they dont embellish nor invent things....as impossible it is to describe anyone even through a book...at least this is accurate...
People appear to have missed a part of her life when the aircraft carrying her to Singapore in the early fifties, to make the Premier film, The Barefooted Contessa had to land at RAF Butterworth, Malaya during the monsoon season.. She was accommodated in the Married Families quarters with my boss and his wife. A fantastic experience.
I don't think, overall, that Ava had a happy life at all. She partied and drank herself senseless, but that is not "happiness" or "fun". She was a mixed up, pathologically shy, and at the same time, a very angry woman. I wish she could have figured things out so that she could have had a better life, but that didn't happen. About her shyness: At one time in her 30's, Ava quit drinking for a short time. She would go on the set of the movie she was filming and just be in the background not saying a word, not ABLE to interact with anyone. There was a party and dancing on the set and she couldn't manage it. Shortly thereafter, she started drinking again and then all her shyness was GONE to the point of being overly aggressive, AND then she danced and interacted. That is the tragedy of Ava Gardner.
People here comment on how she lost her looks because of drink and smoke, these people must be under 50 because we all age, we all loose our looks, some of us are lucky to have had the looks, but nobody looks young after 50 , whether you drink, smoke, do drugs, makes no difference. We have an internal clock that works on its own, we can't stop it, it takes us from fetus to baby, to child, to adult, to old person and eventually to death....there is nothing anyone of us can do...so enjoy your life ...if you don't die young, you will also loose your looks...
At least she was able to get away. She was able to live her life quitetly and happily in Europe. I would hate to be a "star" especially if I had to live the life of Britney Spears.
Not all stars have mesirable lives, those who view acting or singing as what it truly is, a Job that Pays Very Well and can be demanding at times, they choose to make their lives as normal as possible., Not believing the press and staying grounded. Some of the people in the comments act as if these people don't have a choice. They absolutely do.
No not everyone says oh yes, she was married to Frank Sinatra. I think when I hear her name, probably the most beautiful woman in the golden years of Hollywood. A great actress too. Beautiful voice, speaking and singing. Very underrated as a professional actor.
Ava Gardner wasn't difficult to work with or late to the set until she did 55 Days At Peking in 1963. Her close friends were Robert Graves & Ernest Hemingway; she was no slouch intellectually.
I thought the same thing. She came from a big family. Maybe someone in the family had the money to afford a home film camera. Her older sister Bappie was married to a guy who had a photography studio in New York City. He could have been the source of the camera and taken it down to N. Carolina on a visit and taken that film of Ava and her dad. His name was Larry Tarr and he took pics of Ava, framed em. put them in the front window of his shop and the MGM talent agent in NYC saw the pics, inquired who it was and presto, Ava's career was born.
None of men handsome for her beauty she was playboy for them shes was most beautiful woman in Hollywood beautiftl soft spoken God created her with special pen 🖊️🖋️
George C. Scott was brutal towards her, breaking ribs ,shoulders etc. I'm so glad that her assistant told Frank Sinatra and he sent some men to put the fear of God into him. I can never watch a George C. Scott movie again. He could have killed her. She deserved someone that just loved her, which she really deserved.
She gets pregnant and aborts it because she didn't want the baby meanwhile poor Marilyn Monroe an actress from that time too wanted children desperately and couldn't have them. Just so sad I think. Life is always like that
She seems like a very nice person, and a fine actress, but watching this documentary, it struck me that she didn't really choose the life she was leading, but maybe didn't have a reasonable way out, and to find some sort of escape, moved to Europe. In contrast someone like Jennifer Aniston, also a nice person, and with great talent, really wanted to be an actress, and fought her way, despite her father trying to dissuade her. To me it seems Ava Gardner was picked up and deposited into a universe totally different from what she knew!
Ava was the star when Frank and Ava got together. She was the one who made the call to the studio to ask they audition Frank for "From Here To Eternity". It was never going to work; Ave 24Dec/Earth sign - Frank/12Dec/Fire sign. Doomed as a typical marriage but success as passionate, crazy, tormented, jealous, gut wrenching lovers.
@@trawlins396 From Here to Eternity was released as a movie in 1953. Sinatra was signed sometime in the early part of 1953. Their marriage got rocky by the end of 1953 and they didn't get divorced til 1957. They kept thinking they might get back together but it didnt happen.
Yes, applause to you! Liv doesn’t have that immediate shocking electric natural bolt of energy that Ava throws at us but she has a softer Ava FACE that is a close similarity than almost anyone in film. Respect!!!! Ava has that unrealistic beauty that really can’t be captured on film or in photos. The most beautiful people are really a conundrum because some see beauty and some see ugly. I think that is what really stands out in Ava. She just really is Everything! Crazy Bitch! I love her.
@Jasmine Daniels: I have always felt that, too. I think the resemblance is more than "slight". Liv doesn't have Ava's personality, but who the hell does??!!!
Too bad, Ava could never relax enough to be called a good actress. A bit too stiff, though, I would be too. Being a county girl, it just didn't come natural.
The most beautiful woman ever and to me she was a great actor.
She is one of the most beautiful actress of her generation. I bought her biography so I can learn more about her I only know her through films I watch in turner classic movie I’m born way way back during her time I only knew about her through my grandmother.

This is one of the best bios of Ava I have seen. I adored her still do. A special woman uniquely her own. Authentic.
Read the book called AVA it’s very informative and well written

I like the dimple in her chin.
@@suzettebennett2564 me too.
@G Galeno hahaha. Blondes vs Brunettes. I'm a brunette fan! AVa had better bone structure.

In retrospect, after she sort of drifted away from Hollywood and was living in London, yes, in retrospect, she felt she had accomplished nothing and probably would have rather had a man and family.
Do you really think that she was shy? I may be wrong, but I think that she strikes me as someone who was anything but. And again, I MAY be wrong. She was a VERY beautiful woman!!
You can see by her eyes that she was a beautiful person inside too. The last comment of the speaker confirmed that.
Was she,? Abortion so many times!!!!!!!!!!
you cant say that someone is beautiful inside just by looking at there eyes
Meareen Jordan.....Ava's life long personnal assistant loved Ava. Color blind, spunky, and more talented than the Hollywood machine would give her credit for. Ava would be a fore runner of the #metoo movement today. Left Hollywood because she did not like how Hollywood sterotyped women. 1 of a kind.....Sinatra knew this.....
8:30
The part about her life in Spain mesmerizes me...
Mediterranean nights in spanish cities, drinkings, lovers...
A careless, yet alive life.
She almost seems like a goddess walking amongst man.
Ava aborted her children, even those of Sinatra, the man she loved, and loved her. Terrible.
But lost that genuine, natural beauty, because of drinking and smoking. And why was she that way? She was just a beautiful country girl and was never prepared for all the limelight and attention of Hollywood.
She was a GODDESS
Прочтите воспоминания Рафаэля об Аве Гарднер.
When Ava and Frank broke up, Frank was suicidal. He was deeply and madly in love with her.
ava sent at least 3 men to institutions after she left them...and who knows how many attempted suicides...like Sinatra
The remind me of Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton. People who had a very deep love and attraction. But couldn't handle the day to day aspects of a relationship.
Ava was ruthless , when Sinatra married Mia Farrow she lit up a cigarette and laughed and said " I knew Frank would eventually marry a boy".

This was good. The two authors' enthusiasm for their subject is evident.
As well as highly annoying.

True beauty. Not like today’s botoxed and plastic surgery enchanted stars
I think she had a MGM makeover when she started which included a chin implant i.e. notice the dimpled chin. That is extremely rare in women.
@@Daisy_982 No, she did not have a "chin implant." The dimple is evident in her photos as a child -- a few of which are featured in this very video upon which you commented.
@@karlhungus5554 The studio actually wanted to fill in that dimple and make it disappear but Ava put her foot down on that.
So very true (and quite sad)
Not just breathtaking, but a very good actress. There's no one to compare with her.

Its actually in Smithfield I think

She was an intelligent person so moulding herself to what was required to be approved was easy. Whilst her feelings about herself was low, She was intuitively clever, and very much her own person.
Also did not want to be told what to do by anyone, because she did what she was told by the very person who took her innocence away.
Much better actress than was given credit for; Watch NIGHT OF THE IGUANA (1964).
She's mesmerising in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman. She still looks like a goddess when she emerges from the sea with wet hair.
I just learned there’s an Ava Gardner museum in Smithfield NC. So cool
Yes I drove through Smithfield a lot when I worked at Ft. Bragg, still can't believe I never stopped at her museum o_0
She was so FUCKING BEAUTIEUL. I mean BEAUTIFUL.
The y should have interviewed Lana Turner about Ava while she was alive! I read Lana and Ava took Rita Hayworth out on the town to get Rita to loosen up!
Look at the heavyweight names you just wrote. The quintessential screen goddesses of that era. If Marilyn was included, it would have been a lock.
wish I was there.
They would drive down to Tijuana and attend a bullfight and go drinking.
They had lesbian threesomes!!
And hopefully pick up a trio of bullfighters.
This was pleasure.I must have the book.

Why? Because ava was more beautiful?? Sorry but it would be a big injustice if only extremely attractive ppl became huge and successful stars.
Some people can be overrated and one of them is Marilyn Monroe.

Why dont you show " ava gardner " movies! 🎥 Bruno
All “stars”
Have miserable lives.... I wouldn’t wish FAME on my worst enemy

No not everyone says oh yes, she was married to Frank Sinatra. I think when I hear her name, probably the most beautiful woman in the golden years of Hollywood. A great actress too. Beautiful voice, speaking and singing. Very underrated as a professional actor.
Ava Gardner wasn't difficult to work with or late to the set until she did 55 Days At Peking in 1963. Her close friends were Robert Graves & Ernest Hemingway; she was no slouch intellectually.
They couldn't have been that poor to have had a home movie during those years of her childhood. Very unusual.
I believe the footage used here is not of Ava but just a stock footage of a Depression-era country side family.
It's stock footage of the Depression from government sources. Home movie cameras didn't exist in the 30s
I thought the same thing. She came from a big family. Maybe someone in the family had the money to afford a home film camera. Her older sister Bappie was married to a guy who had a photography studio in New York City. He could have been the source of the camera and taken it down to N. Carolina on a visit and taken that film of Ava and her dad.

I can never watch a George C. Scott movie again. He could have killed her. She deserved someone that just loved her, which she really deserved.
Sounds like a bunch of rumors.
It was in her book about Ava Gardner. She didn't deserve to be treated so abused
I wonder if the rumors about her attraction to women were more spoken about, Chavela Vargas made it clear they slept together once...
Не представляю Аву Гарднер с женщиной,грязные сплетни о ее влечении к женщинам!
Ava Gardner and Angelina Jolie are the most magnetic women in Hollywood history.
Nope. That would be Vivien Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor.
Ava never understood the true beauty she had that most people saw. It's quite common amongst beautiful women.
She gets pregnant and aborts it because she didn't want the baby meanwhile poor Marilyn Monroe an actress from that time too wanted children desperately and couldn't have them. Just so sad I think. Life is always like that
They left out her marriage to Artie Shaw, her second marriage. After Frank Sinatra, her third husband, she never married again…..she was only 35.
Am pleased to know who she is .... all my life people said I’m her twin 😂😂😂
She seems like a very nice person, and a fine actress, but watching this documentary, it struck me that she didn't really choose the life she was leading, but maybe didn't have a reasonable
way out, and to find some sort of escape, moved to Europe. In contrast someone like Jennifer
Aniston, also a nice person, and with great talent, really wanted to be an actress, and fought her way, despite her father trying to dissuade her. To me it seems Ava Gardner was picked up and
deposited into a universe totally different from what she knew!
I would love to know the whole story of Ava and this guy, back in the day, Dickie Wells. ruclips.net/video/15HbbsU-P3g/видео.html
Ava was the star when Frank and Ava got together. She was the one who made the call to the studio to ask they audition Frank for "From Here To Eternity". It was never going to work; Ave 24Dec/Earth sign - Frank/12Dec/Fire sign. Doomed as a typical marriage but success as passionate, crazy, tormented, jealous, gut wrenching lovers.
Astrology is satanic. They were both bipolar.
@@cassiemiller7321 two separate topics.
@@cassiemiller7321 I agree. Nutty as fruitcakes to believe stars influences our lives. I prefer to follow the creator of the stars
@@edgeworldpictures6831 you're wrong. Frank made eternity AFTER they divorced. Astrology is nonsense btw.
@@trawlins396 From Here to Eternity was released as a movie in 1953. Sinatra was signed sometime in the early part of 1953. Their marriage got rocky by the end of 1953 and they didn't get divorced til 1957. They kept thinking they might get back together but it didnt happen.
О ней страсти ещё долго не утихнут,в нее досих пор влюбляются и это будет продолжаться долго!!!
Совершенная красота.
She was a very handsome man
They dont make women like that any more.
Liv Tyler resembles her....slightly ❤
Jasmine Daniels No way! Liv Tyler is hideous!
Yes, applause to you! Liv doesn’t have that immediate shocking electric natural bolt of energy that Ava throws at us but she has a softer Ava FACE that is a close similarity than almost anyone in film. Respect!!!! Ava has that unrealistic beauty that really can’t be captured on film or in photos. The most beautiful people are really a conundrum because some see beauty and some see ugly. I think that is what really stands out in Ava. She just really is Everything! Crazy Bitch! I love her.
@Jasmine Daniels: I have always felt that, too. I think the resemblance is more than "slight". Liv doesn't have Ava's personality, but who the hell does??!!!
Liv Tyler is beautiful and so was Ava.
THERE IS NOONE GREATER IN LIFE THAN CHRISTIAN ANDERS
" That's Bullshit Honey "
Too bad, Ava could never relax enough to be called a good actress. A bit too stiff, though, I would be too. Being a county girl, it just didn't come natural.
