A tribute to Ava Garder:




Easy to see why Frank never got over her. Or Artie Shaw. Or John Huston. Or Ernest Hemingway. Or any of the other dudes she slept her way through.

quote:

---

After Gardner divorced Sinatra in 1957, she went to Spain, where she began a friendship with writer Ernest Hemingway (she had starred in an adaptation of his The Sun Also Rises that year, and five years earlier, Hemingway had successfully urged producer Darryl F. Zanuck to cast Gardner in The Snows of Kilimanjaro, a film which adapted several of his short stories). While staying with Hemingway at his villa in San Francisco de Paula in Havana, Cuba, Gardner once swam alone without a swimsuit in his pool. After watching her, Hemingway ordered his staff: "The water is not to be emptied"

Of course, I'd never say any of that in front of Frank.
