MavisMartini

Mavis Martini was Ava Gardner's childhood friend and first client, launching her career as "astrologer to the stars". As Ava's gal pal, Mavis met and began doing charts for Frank Sinatra, Shelley Winters, Montgomery Clift, Federico Fellini and Lorna Luft. Famed more for her famous friends than her talents as a star-gazer, Mavis became a fixture on the talk show circuit in the '60s and '70's as she gleefully recounted the debauched antics of her show biz cronies. "Time will tell" became her ubiquitous catchphrase when queried on some future event, and was the title of her 1988 memoir. The book was pulled from the shelves soon after publication after numerous threatened lawsuits from Jerry Lewis, Elizabeth Taylor, the family of Peter Lawford and Zsa Zsa Gabor.In the early '90's, Mavis claimed to be the long-lost child of comic duo, Jerry Stiller and Ann Meara, who had given up a child for adoption in the '50's as unwed teenagers. Ben Stiller launched an investigation and proved the claim false, and adding insult to injury, proclaimed Mavis's real birth year. A secret she had kept closely guarded for decades and was unquestiond due to her numerous plastic surgeries, Mavis eventually confessed that the date was accurate. She also divulged that the whole incident had been an elaborate publicity stunt designed to attract Stiller's attention who was then slated to direct "What Makes Sammy Run?".Mavis herself filed a lawsuit against the BBC when "Absolutely Fabulous" aired in the mid '90's claiming the show was an invasion of privacy and was a wholly accurate depiction of her life and that of her best friend, former starlet, Jayne International(tm). The suit was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum which allowed the plaintiff to retire to her childhood homestead in rural North Carolina. Leading a quiet life with her two miniature dachshunds, Klaus and Heino, Mavis occasionally makes a cameo appearance at awards shows and telethons. She has been known to spend her summers in Wales with one of her former lovers, Sir Tom Jones. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ********************************************************Dahl ings, I've been simply overwhelmed with the "Friend Requests" lately and have decided to initiate a screening process.
