Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and Phil Silvers GARDNER, Eva (1922-1990). U.S. Leading Lady considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. Best known for her role in The Night of the Iguana. Fans were outraged at Sinatra’s desertion of his wife Nancy and his three children for Ava Gardner. Sinatra was determined to be with the woman of his dreams who was married twice before. Sinatra was still married to Nancy when he and Ava moved into another home together. Ava was known as a “house wrecker.” Several days subsequent to Sinatra’s final divorce decree from Nancy he married Ava Gardner on 7 November 1951. IN 1952 they separated, Ava having an affair and after a few rocky years their marriage ended in a Mexican divorce after four years of separation. SILVERS, Phil (1912-1985) Vaudeville comedian and also appeared in some movies. In his hit TV show he will be remembered as Sgt. Bilko. His autograph can be called uncommon in any form. Remarkable photograph, 8”x10” oblong of a very young Sinatra with his celebrity baseball team all dressed in uniform. Everyone is looking at the camera except for Ava Gardner who is holding a baseball bat and looking directly at Frank Sinatra having a very pleasing smile.
