Great photobook on the Grabtown Goddess that needs an English translation
Being in the middle of working my way through Lee Server's terrific _Love Is Nothing_ (which I plan to review once I've finished it), I was eager to get ahold of a photo retrospective on the lovely Ava.Gilles Dagneau's _Ava Gardner: The Rebel_ is currently unavailable on Amazon, so this book was Plan B.

The reviewer ought to know, first of all, that this book is in Spanish, published in Spain.No serious fan of Ava Gardner should be surprised at that; Ava fell in love with the country and its culture when she went there to do "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman", and even more so when she shot "The Barefoot Contessa" (this book's title literally means "the barefoot goddess"; Ava, like her "Contessa" character, loved going barefoot all her life).Therefore, if you don't read Spanish, you're necessarily going to miss out on the book's text, which is why I say it needs to be published in an English-language version.

However, the photos are terrific, and there are hundreds of them, from all stages of Ava's life and career, in color and B&W; the book is oversized, so you get a lot of gorgeous full-page imagery.The chapters are broken out mostly by each individual film that Ava had a role in over the years; while most of them are listed by their Spanish titles, any fan with a good knowledge of her movies ought to be able to identify them immediately, especially as each chapter has several pictures from the movie in question.

If only this book were in English, I could probably give it a full 5 stars.As it is, the superb photos, many of which don't appear in any English-language book on Ava to date, well justify a 4-star rating and a recommendation to all devoted Ava fans. ... Read more

Excerpt: Ava Lavinia Gardner (December 24, 1922 - January 25, 1990) was an American actress. She was signed to a contract by MGM Studios in 1941 and appeared in small roles until she drew attention with her performance in The Killers (1946). She became one of Hollywood's leading actresses, considered one of the most beautiful women of her day. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in Mogambo (1953). She appeared in several high-profile films from the 1950s to 1970s, including Bhowani Junction (1956), On the Beach (1959), The Night of the Iguana (1964), Earthquake (1974), and The Cassandra Crossing (1976). Gardner continued to act on a regular basis until 1986, four years before her death of pneumonia, at age 67, in 1990. She is listed as one of the American Film Institute's greatest stars of all time. Gardner was born in the small farming community of Brogden, North Carolina, the youngest of seven children (she had two brothers; Raymond and Melvin, and four sisters; Beatrice, Elsie Mae, Inez and Myra) of poor cotton and tobacco farmers; her mother, Mary Elizabeth ("Mollie") Gardner (née Baker) was a Baptist of Scots-Irish and English descent, while her father, Jonas Bailey Gardner, was a Roman Catholic of Irish American and American Indian (Tuscarora) descent. When the children were still young, the Gardners lost their property, forcing Jonas Gardner to work at a sawmill and Mollie to begin working as a cook and housekeeper at a dormitory for teachers at the nearby Brogden School. When Gardner was 13 years old, the family decided to try their luck in a bigger town, Newport News, Vi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=43115 ... Read more
