	AVA GARDNER
		Ava was never given the type of roles that bestow respectability upon an actress; nor did she appear in films that win awards and critical admiration.
		Ava held her own in such elevated company, playing the mischievous and amoral Barbara, who inherits a fortune and uses it to try to break up the marriage of the man she loves.
		Ava had always insisted that she made films only for money ("for the loot, honey, for the loot"), and for the rest of her career she made movies only intermittently, sometimes in big budget movies like "On The Beach" and sometimes in third rate productions with fifth rate directors.

		Ava Lavinia Gardner was one of the most beautiful women to appear in movies, and that's saying a lot in Hollywood.

		Some who knew their old movies said it was all just like the one of hers with the funeral at the beginning and the end and the blue-gray clouds and the fl umbrellas and the mourners in the rain.
		This book on Ava Gardner, however, is a disappointment, a poor choice of subject, and an ultimately tiresome account of a woman who had all the breaks and all the luck in the world and did nothing with them.
		Ava being Ava, as long as there are movies, she will call to us, like Maxine to her beach boys in "Night of the Iguana", across the dark waters of our dreams.
