Not much detail was spared about Frank Sinatra's obsession with Ava Gardner in a candid tell-all conversation with Lee Wolf and Steven Caras at the final of three Kravis Center Cultural Society ArtSmart Lunch & Learns held recently at the Weiner Banquet Center in the Kravis Center's Cohen Pavilion. A film set the stage for "Fly Me to the Moon ... or Wherever Ava Is" and followed with a provocative discussion of the sultry affair between the crooner and the free-spirited actress. Over 400 Cultural Society members and guests escaped in the middle of a Monday and lived a bit vicariously through Sinatra and Gardner's tempestuous relationship. Wolf and Caras examined this legendary tsunami of high drama, and equal doses of unbridled passion and violence that kept Hollywood gossip columns and fan magazines humming for years. For three explosive years, 1951 to 1953, the famous couple fueled headlines with their free-for- all affair, forever quarreling over politics, music and of course, lovers. |

The luncheon concluded with a special surprise. Guests were treated to a rendition of a couple of Frank Sinatra favorites by Shawn Nevad, a student who was a participant at one of the Kravis Centers' ArtScholars dinners where Steven Caras was wowed with his impromptu performance. A senior at Santaluces High School, Shawn is currently a candidate for The Palm Beach Post Pathfinder Scholarship Award and the president of the award-winning and traveling Reflections Choir at his school. He has performed at the Kravis Center on several occasions with his high school choir and theater groups as well as in New York at Carnegie Hall with Sir John Rutter as part of a mass choir. He is a member of the select Musical Theater Group at school and is currently in rehearsal for "Seussical The Musical." The Kravis Center's ArtScholars program gives high school students who have a strong interest in the performance arts (along with an economic need) greater insight into their particular discipline by attending dinner discussions with special guest speakers and personally meeting distinguished artists who perform on the Kravis Center stages. |
