What happens when two people who are very similar, and have the same weaknesses, fall in love? And all that’s holding them together is the love they share? Disaster. Though short-lived, the relationship between singer Frank Sinatra and actress Ava Gardner remains one of the most explosive —and enduring—unions in Hollywood history. From their scandalous affair while Sinatra was still married, through their whirlwind 1951 wedding and countless public quarrels, Frank and Ava were drawn together by passion as powerful as the forces that tore them apart. Even decades after their separation, friends said their bond never faded. And well into their golden years, Frank and Ava continued to regard the other as the great love of their life. So what went wrong? Find out in this whirlwind episode of Significant Lovers.*** This is a teaser for a bonus episode— the full episode is 1 hour 39 minutes long.
