Description

Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra Wedding Photos. Includes four rare, vintage b&w 8" x 10" photos of Gardner and Sinatra with friends and family, taken during their wedding in 1951. Sinatra had left Nancy, his childhood sweetheart and wife of more than ten years, for Gardner, a move that resulted in his being pilloried by gossip columnists. His career suffered while hers flourished, and their union was both passionate and tempestuous, eventually ending in divorce in 1957. The photos are in Excellent condition with very little wear or discoloration. From the Ava Gardner Estate.
