In Hollywood's Golden Era of blonde bombshells, Ava Gardner made her mark as the sultry brunette whose perfect face and hourglass figure stopped time for the most desirable men in Hollywood.
Clark Gable, Howard Hughes, Robert Taylor, Artie Shaw and George C. Scott were only a few of the many men she captivated with her sensuous beauty. Here is the steamy, tell-all story of this legendary actress -- from her doomed marriage to Mickey Rooney, to her stormy, passionate union with Frank Sinatra, to the glamorous international partying that brought countless lovers...and scandals...to her bed. This is an unforgettable portrait of the hard-drinking, hard-loving Ava: a barefoot North Carolina girl who became the last of MGM's molded screen legends, yet fought to live -- and love -- on her own insatiable terms.
