Lovers Forever is back with a special episode! Join us for a conversation with Lora Stocker, board member at the Ava Gardner Museum in Smithfield, North Carolina. The museum is having a festival this October 7-9 in honor of Ava Gardner's centennial birthday. Lora and I talk about all things Ava, including how we discovered her, our favorite Ava performances, and what differentiates her from her contemporaries. We also talk about the museum's exhibits and collections, and--of course--the festival!! It's going to be three days of events and screenings, plus amazing special exhibits.
