The Truth About Ava Gardner (1922 - 1990) What Happened To Ava Gardner
Widely recognised as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood history, Ava Gardner left her mark during her almost 50-year film career. But her roles in movies like The Barefoot Contessa and Show Boat were almost eclipsed by her numerous marriages and tabloid-ridden love life. From the young girl who grew up in North Carolina to the international film star, we take a look back at the life of Ava Gardner. Ava Gardner was, in the 1940’s and ‘50’s, a movie star of the old-fashioned kind, who married big fish like Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra, led a passionate, tempestuous life, made a powerful impression even on people she only met for a short time, and suffered when she was not in love. She was warm to her friends, frosty to her enemies, and saw things that other people didn’t see.
Ava was born in Grabtown, North Carolina in 1922, among towns like Pine Level, Four Oaks and Smithfield. She was the youngest of seven children of Jonas and Molly Gardner. Jonas was a sweet, quiet cotton and tobacco farmer. Ava loved him deeply, and felt safe in his company, happy to be his daughter. He had a sister named Ava, so he didn’t call his daughter Ava; he called her “Daughter” and she loved that.
But Jonas Gardner lost his land and became a sharecropper. He died in 1938 when Ava was 16. Ava knew the local preacher and tried to get him to come to her father’s bedside and say a prayer for him, but the preacher never came. After that, Ava was done with religion, or certainly with the Christian church. Molly Gardner ran a series of boarding houses; by 1943, she was dead, too, of a uterine cancer which Ava worried would strike her, too.
By the age of 13, Ava Gardner was strikingly beautiful, with sleek black hair and green eyes. She was a tomboy who liked to go barefoot. She never had a fantasy life, as so many actresses do as girls, never imagined herself as a queen or a duchess, or anything but what she was. She thought of her beauty as the result of “dumb luck, biology and North Carolina mud.” Her schooling, in Wilson County, was spotty and she was shy in certain ways — yet also fearless and audacious. Men came around; she liked them strong but refused to be possessed by anyone.
