We spent an hour looking at posters, photographs, costumes, and a brief documentary, much of which can be found elsewhere. But not the 40 portraits painted by Ben Pfeiffer, a true fanatic.
I understand the obsession if not the mouse, crawling up her arm. Was any Hollywood star more beautiful? Alcoholism cut short her enviable life which included marrying Frank Sinatra and an uninhibited performance in The Night of the Iguana, by far my favorite film adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play.
We had a very late lunch at Perfectly Frank's in Summerville, NC just north of Charleston.
No doubt about what Ava would have ordered. Find the questionable pun while you're at it.
After dinner in Charleston we walked to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church where in 2015 a racist murdered nine congregants during bible study.
You can feel the grace.
It was definitely enough sightseeing for one night.
