When you hear the name Ava Gardner, the first thing that comes to mind might be her
classic beauty, her acting talent, or perhaps her marriage to Frank Sinatra. But dont
think that Ava and her perfect face and perfect body as she was often described, had
it easy on her road to the top. In fact, even when she had reached stardom, she
continued to face challenges in her home life.
Ava was born in North Carolina as the youngest of seven children. When she
was still young, her family lost everything in a housefire, forcing her mother and
father, who had been a tenant farmer, to go searching for other work. Her father
died a few years later when she was only fifteen. It was in 1941 when she was
visiting her sister Beatrice and Beatrices husband, Larry Tarr, in New York, that
Larry took a picture of Ava. He was so proud of it that he displayed it in the
window of his photography studio. And this is where the legends like to say she
was discovered by a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) movie studio scout.
It is true that someone from the studio noticed
her and got her an interview. But while she was
offered a contract, the screen test didnt exactly
go down as successful. Her North Carolina
accent was so strong that they could barely
understand her and as a result, they told her to
do a silent screen test. Louis B. Mayer, head of
MGM, sent a telegram afterward to Al Altman,
head of MGMs New York talent department,
saying: She cant sing, she cant act, she cant
talk, shes terrific!
The young actress spent the next five years learning more about acting, working
on her accent with a speech coach, having her appearance  hair and clothes 
changed, and doing bit parts, some of which werent even credited. She married a
fellow actor, Mickey Rooney, but it ended in divorce two years later. The day the
divorce went through, her mother died from cancer.
She couldnt have been in a good place then: on top of her huge losses, she still didnt
know if she was good enough to make it in the movie industry. Friends say she
suffered from lifelong insecurity, never feeling that she was a good actress, no matter
what movies she eventually starred in. Nevertheless, she continued working  and her
hard work and perseverance were rewarded in a big way.
