I like biographies of movie stars if they're truthful and interesting. This one, Ava Gardner "Love is Nothing" by Lee Server, is receiving wonderful reviews in the US and the UK. The US review begins:When a smitten great-grandson of Charles Darwin pronounced Ava Gardner "the highest specimen of the human species," he summed up the consensus about this voluptuous movie queen. With remarkable unanimity, those who met Gardner were apt to second that emotion.
Server also wrote the biography of Robert Mitchum subtitled "Baby, I Don't Care" which is considered one of the best film star biographies around.
