CNN has a brief review today of a new biography of Ava Gardner. We didn’t name Ava after Gardner, but she did cross our minds as we were coming up with girl names (which, we’ve decided, are much easier to come up with than boy names).
Ava Gardner was a real player. The biography sounds interesting but far too long. In an interview, the author claims Gardner went through life “like a rocket,” which is how I like to think about our little Ava leading the life that’s ahead of her.
