In the late 1980s, Peter Evans was approached by none other than beautiful star Ava Gardner in order that he would ghost write her autobiography. Ava proved almost impossible to work with, changing her mind at every possible opportunity, arguing over areas of the book that had previously been agreed to and ringing Peter at all hours of the night when she couldn't sleep and was drunk. Almost resigned to the possibility that the book might not ever get published Peter comes up with a plan - he will record the conversations he has with Ava when she is most open and candid, her calls in the early hours of the morning when she can't sleep. By doing so, he crafts an amazing books of memories told in a wonderfully honest and refreshing manner. Ava is troubled, painfully honest and humorously scandalous about her former life as a Hollywood star.
