Gardner's men

FANS of Hollywood in the 1940s and '50s will enjoy the randy banter in "Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations" (Simon & Schuster) about the men that Gardner married. The book is based on tapes from an ill-fated collaboration between writer Peter Evans and Gardner.

At 5-foot-2, Mickey Rooney was the shortest of her mates and an unconscionable cheat. Sinatra matched her in jealousy - and loyalty. Gardner comes off as vulgar, cynical and trampy, but also funny, perceptive and genuine.
