Setting the record straight

This is a new printing of Turner's 1982 autobiography and I applaud the publisher for reprinting this book. Turner tells of her life in Idaho during the Depression and the move to California, her parent's divorce, and her entry into films. She does not give much gossip about her many co-stars (which is good) but it would have been nice to know a bit more of what she thought of some of them. We know she liked Robert Taylor, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracey and did not like Wendell Corey. She did not discuss much about the actual making of the films or specific scenes. She did not seem to have many close female friends. She mentions Virginia Grey as a friend but does not really expound on what they did together. She describes her elopement with Artie Shaw in 1940 pretty much the way Ann Rutherford (who was in the same film) described it in a talk on her career once although Ann said that Artie tried to call her first and Ann's mother wouldn't let her come to the phone and then Artie called Lana and Artie and Lana eloped the same night. She had a poor judge of husbands - ending up with 7 - all who seemed to want her to support them. She describes in detail the stabbing death of Johnny Stompanato and the consequences it had on her daughter's life. She was a team player at MGM - pretty much doing what they said and when the studio finally let the player's go, was able to gain a resurgence in film and on the stage. She describes her faith in God at the end and crediting it with turning around her life. The book was originally published 13 years before her final illness but it was Turner's way of setting the record straight on her image.

Had trouble putting this down. I loved reading about her glorious costumes, hair , makeup artists.etc. The heights of Hollywood glamour. So sorry she could not pick a man.

I just finished reading Lana, The Lady, The Legend, The Truth. I have always been in love with Lana Turner and reading her book now makes me love here even more. I love that we share the same birthday, February 8. I only wish I could have met her. I enjoy watching her movies over and over again

Very good read...

Good read. A lot of pictures, which I liked. The one thing I found disturbing about Lana, was her quest to have more children, when in fact, she was too busy living her movie star lifestyle to be with her only daughter. She went on vacation for 3 months in another country leaving her newborn with NANA and her mother. Not working, a vacation. How could you endure being away from your baby?? She complained that Cheryl loved her mother more than she loved Lana. Duh!! Thank GOD that Cheryl had her grandmother in her life. Why would you keep trying to have more children when you had no time for the child you had? Can you imagine the life they would of lead if the children had survived?

She brought Cheryl home in the presence of a man who threatened to kill her and her mother. Lana brought this dangerous man around her daughter, time and time again. Lana confided in NO one about his abuse, not the police, not her bosses, nor her friends, but yet, one day she decides to unburden her woes to her 15 year old daughter. At what point did she decide to make her problem, her daughters? Why not tell this to the Police?

I don't know, but I found the book to be a fascinating read. She was a beautiful woman, but made some very unwise decisions. For a woman who had it all, one wonders why she needed to be loved so desperately by a man. Seven failed marriages...I get it, back in the day, you had to marry if you were sexual, but she leaped into these marriages without even knowing who they were. Bad judgment. Then she states, "why on why, does this keep happening to me".
