"As a siren, [Gardner] held her own with [Marilyn] Monroe. And to
judge by Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations, Gardner was a more
interesting woman. . . . A little jewel of a book."--Harry Levins
"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
"I read Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations in a delirious gulp.
It is absolutely terrific. I couldn't put it down. Gardner comes
across as a flamboyant but tragic figure who always spoke the truth
no matter how painful. And the way writer Peter Evans has shaped
their conversations is truly remarkable."--Patricia Bosworth,
author of Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman
