The 1950s-era silver screen icons Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra had a famously turbulent marriage, which ended as dramatically as it began. Here’s everything we know so far about Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Frank Sinatra biopic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Sinatra and Jennifer Lawrence as Ava Gardner.
While Jamie Bell and Margaret Qualley prepare to embody Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Rooney Mara fights to keep her Audrey Hepburn-centric project alive, Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio look poised to play two other silver screen icons in their very own sweeping biopic: crooner Frank Sinatra and his second wife, Hollywood bombshell Ava Gardner, in a new drama from Martin Scorsese, no less.
She and Sinatra famously had a turbulent relationship, which began as dramatically as it ended: in the autumn of 1949, the musician, while still married to his first wife Nancy Barbato, found himself very drunk and partying with Gardner in Palm Springs. At the end of the night, they left together and drove to the sleepy town of Indio, California, where, after kissing passionately, Sinatra apparently brought out two guns and began shooting out streetlights.
