Frank & Ava: In Love and War

There has always been a gloss surrounding Old Hollywood that has protected the celebrities from that era, turning them from mere mortals into gods and goddesses not bound by the strict morals of their time (as long as they were discreet about it). Two of the brightest stars in this galaxy were Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra, and their roller-coaster love affair, while legendary, has never been deeply explored until now. Brady (The Craft of the Screenwriter) follows the story of Gardner and Sinatra from their first encounters in Hollywood in the 1940s until their last communications before Gardner's death in 1990. Brady reveals the human side of a grand love affair that somehow survived a marriage and a divorce, epic battles, and sweeping romantic gestures. What started as an extramarital affair became a connection between two very human people that lasted the rest of their lives.
