But this riveting account of her storied life, including her marriage to Frank Sinatra, and career had to wait for publication until after her death\u2014because Gardner feared it was too revealing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI either write the book or sell the jewels,\u201d Gardner told coauthor Peter Evans, \u201cand I\u2019m kinda sentimental about the jewels.\u201d The legendary actress serves up plenty of gems in these pages, reflecting with delicious humor and cutting wit on a life that took her from rural North Carolina to the heights of Hollywood\u2019s Golden Age. Tell-all stories abound, especially when Gardner divulges on her three husbands: Mickey Rooney, a serial cheater so notorious that even his mother warned Gardner about him; bandleader Artie Shaw, whom Ava calls \u201ca dominating son of a bitch\u2026always putting me down;\u201d and Frank Sinatra (\u201cWe were fighting all the time. Fighting and boozing. It was madness. But he was good in the feathers\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer story is a raw-nerved revelation&#8230;.A vivid portrait\u201d (Chicago Tribune).
