Press Reviews:
"A life of much too much, all of it thoroughly and satisfyingly recounted."--New York Daily News "Server writes with a contagious enthusiasm."--Kirkus Reviews "Entertaining."--Library Journal "Enthralling...an extended toast to [Gardner]."--Peter Bogdanovich, The New York Times "A seductive book."--The New York Times "Every bit as thrilling as Server's previous biography of Robert Mitchum."--The Times (UK) "Server, who perfectly captured Robert Mitchum's laconic laissez-faire in Robert Mitchum: 'Baby, I Don't Care', follows with another captivating chronicle."--Filmmonthly "Deliciously entertaining."--Publishers Weekly "The most complete and engrossing biography yet of this exotic Southern girl...An excellent book, full of juicy new detail."--Liz Smith, New York Post "Exceptionally well written, a huge step above most star biographies."--Toronto Globe and Mail "Writing with poetic grace and titillating candor, he traces Gardner's path from Tobacco Road to Tinseltown."--American Way "A compelling triumph of a biography."--Filmmonthly "As close as we will ever get to an evening out with the woman herself."--The Sunday Times (UK) "No writer had ever managed to capture [Ava Gardner's] life of volcanic excess until now."--Noir City Sentinel "A wholly worthwhile biography to sink your teeth into."--Buffalo News Praise for Lee Server's Robert Mitchum: "Baby, I Don't Care.""Server sustains a fascination for his subject that is broad enough to encompass the man's miserable behavior alongside his vast admiration for Mitchum's body of work and hugely iconic personality." -The New York Times

"An elegant job." -Entertainment Weekly

"Is isn't always pretty, but it's never boring." -Biography Magazine
