Ava Gardner is considered to be an extremely legendary actress from her era. Born on December 24, 1922 in Grabtown, North Carolina, her career spanned over four decades. It is said her role as Kitty Collins in the 1946 classic, “The Killers” cemented her as the iconic symbol of the Film Noir era. Now a North Carolina distillery is set to unveil a bourbon named after her.
