[MP3CD Audiobook format in Vinyl case.] [Read by William Hope] ''I EITHER WRITE THE BOOK OR SELL THE JEWELS'', Ava Gardner told her coauthor, Peter Evans, ''âand I'm kinda sentimental about the jewels.'' So began the collaboration that led to this remarkably candid, wickedly sardonic memoir.Ava Gardner was one of Hollywood's great stars during the 1940s and 1950s, an Oscar-nominated leadÂing lady who co-starred with Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, and Humphrey Bogart, among others. Her films included Show Boat, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, The Barefoot Contessa, and On the Beach. But her life off the screen was every bit as fabulous as her film roles.Born poor in rural North Carolina, Gardner was given a Hollywood tryout thanks to a stunning photo of her displayed in a shop window. Not long after arriving in Hollywood, she caught the eye of Mickey Rooney, then America's #1 box-office draw. Rooney was a womanizer so notorious that even his mother warned Gardner about him. They married, but the marriage lasted only a year ('âmy shortest husband and my biggest mistake'). Ava then married band leader and clarinetist Artie Shaw, who would eventually marry eight times, but that marriage, too, lasted only about a year ('âhe was a dominating son of a bitch . . . always putting me down'). She carried on a passionate affair with Howard Hughes but didn't love him, she said. Her third marriage was a tempestuous one to Frank Sinatra (â'We were fighting all the time. Fighting and boozing. It was madness. . . . But he was good in the feathers').Faithfully recording Ava's reminiscences in this book, Peter Evans describes their late-night converÂsations when Ava, having had something to drink and unable to sleep, was at her most candid. So candid, in fact, that when she read her own words, she backed out and halted the book. Only now, years after her death, could this frank and revealing memoir be published. ''âIf I get into this stuff, oh, honey, have you got something coming,'' Ava told Evans. Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations is the stunning story of a legendary star's public and private lives.

Evangelist Ava Gardner shares her personal history of how she received the HIV/AIDS virus from her Minister Husband, Bernard, and how Jesus has transformed her life. Sis Donna Selvaraj is inspired through the Power of the Holy Spirit to format, edit and minister with Evangelist Ava from the Heart of Heaven. Evangelist Ava journeys beyond her own personal struggle and heartache so the Lord Jesus can use her to not only write a book of love, hope and forgiveness, but to tell ALL of God's children, saved and unsaved, that Jesus says, "HIV is Heaven In View" for the person struggling with HIV/AIDS -- AMEN!!! Evangelist Ava is able to take a Spirit-filled journey back through approximately 18 years to WONDERFULLY and JOYFULLY tell the world of the "saving grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." The three-part ministry book ministers to 1) Persons struggling with HIV/AIDS; 2) Pastor's wives unwittingly caught up with the "downlow" lifestyle; and, 3) Bishops, Pastors or Ministers bound by the homosexual or "downlow" lifestyle. This is a Healing and Deliverance Manual for ALL of those who are affected by the HIV/AIDS disease and lifestyle. Jesus says, "I came to have life so that you can have life and life abundant" [John 10:10]. AMEN and GLORY HALLELUJAH!!!
