The Ava Gardner Museum honors the life, loves, and legacy of one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies. Located in Smithfield, near Ava’s birthplace, the Museum is one of North Carolina’s most unique attractions. The museum hosts a blog on its website, avagardner.org, which highlights the real story of Ava's life, career, relationships, and more. Authorship of the blog is split between Museum Consultant Beth Nevarez, Museum Board Member Lora Stocker, and Museum Director Lynell Seabold (from right to left in the photo).
