Elizabeth McGovern brings screen legend Ava Gardner's life to the stage
For all of Elizabeth McGovern's acting career, someone else wrote her lines. Now it's her turn. The \"Downton Abbey\" star pivots from British aristocracy to classic Hollywood royalty this summer to portray screen legend Ava Gardner in a play she wrote. \"It's an incredible feeling to see other people embrace these things that were in your head,\" she says. \"My feet haven't touched the ground since we started working on this in New York. I am just loving it so much.\" \"Ava: The Secret Conversations\" examines the sometimes-prickly, sometimes seductive relationship between Gardner and Peter Evans, a journalist assigned to ghostwrite her memoir in the years before her death in 1990. Though Gardner pulled the plug on the project before its completion, Evans eventually published their conversations in 2013. That book is the basis of McGovern's play.

Alison Brie and Dave Franco 'Together' bring authenticity to the roles
The perils of the dating scene are vast, but there are horrors in long-term relationships too. With intimacy and commitment, there can also come codependency and even convergence. Once individuals, some couples start to dress alike, act alike and even, terrifyingly, look alike. On the comedic end, there's the smug marrieds table of “Bridget Jones.” And then there's the scary end in “Together,” in which convergence is rendered more literally and where the Spice Girls anthem “2 Become I” takes on a whole new, horrifying meaning.
