For over two decades, the art of the interview was very nearly the sole province of Rex Reed, the Master of the Celebrity Profile. In this long-form journalism article, Reed interviews film legend Ava Gardner. Fans of Gardner will not want to miss Rex Reed's penetrating look into her private world. Rex Reed published four best-selling books collecting his best celebrity profiles, all of which are available as ebooks from Devault-Graves Digital Editions. For this series, Devault-Graves Digital Editions has singled out some of Reed's best profiles and given them a special low price to introduce readers to the art and pleasure of Rex Reed.
