Ava Gardner, c.1947
"There was never a dull moment although there were quiet times when we talked about literature, current events, politics and life. She was intelligent and well read. She taught me to love to read and appreciate “good books.” She read to me from the “Wind in the Willows.” She was delighted to tell me about Hemingway and introduce me to Robert Ruark, another famous North Carolinian, because he was a writer and not “just an actor”’ She gave me time and attention and greatly influenced my world view. She taught me to value diversity in people and cultures and that the world extended far beyond the provincial borders of eastern North Carolina and was full of wonder."
-Ava Thompson, Ava Gardner's great-niece
