Ava Gardner: A Desirable Proposition

If there’s one hotel that sums up the timeless glamour of London, it’s The Savoy. Its rich history and celebrity guests are immortalised in A Time for Reflection: The Savoy Suite.

This piece captures the Academy Award nominated actress Ava Gardner. The American star enjoyed both a successful career and a varied love life, which included marriages to both Mickey Rooney and Frank Sinatra.

Stuart says: “She was a sultry, feminine actress. Once hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world, I wanted to celebrate her in all her glory and do justice to her legacy.”
