ADVANCE FOR SUNDAY APRIL10 AND THEREAFTER - An April 1, 2016 photo shows Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra’s marriage license, right; a note from Sinatra to Gardner, left, and a sprig from her funeral bouquet on display at the Ava Gardner Museum in Smithfield, N.C. Actress Ava Gardner was born a few miles from Smithfield, and the town has been home to her museum for decades. The museum contains irreplaceable artifacts from Gardner’s life but no fire suppression system to protect them. The museum had a small fire last year and is seeking help to raise about $100,000 for the system. (Abbie Bennett/The News & Observer via AP) MANDATORY CREDIT
