LANA: The Memories, the Myths, the Movies Tapa dura – 21 Octubre 2008
Opciones de compra y productos Add-on
Lana: The Memories, the Myths, the Movies will chronicle her life and 50-year career, starting with the Cinderella story of a girl discovered at a soda shop at age fifteen and made a star overnight. From blonde bombshell to box-office queen of the ’40s, Lana led a whirlwind life marked by seven marriages and a murder trial that made her and her daughter infamous.
While Lana’s private adventures inspired the press, her talent and provocative presence shone on the silver screen. Her films The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Bad and the Beautiful, and Imitation of Life are extensively covered as part of a complete filmography. And from chapters on her lovers to her makeup tips, Lana will show the complete spectrum of the woman, at work and at play. The gorgeous photographs throughout showcase not only the stunning glamour of one of Hollywood’s classic celebrities, but also reveal her other facets: as a mother, a wife, an adventurer, and above all, a woman with a zest for life.

Críticas
“There has never been a movie star book as drop-dead gorgeous, nor as personal, as Lana: The Memories, the Myths, the Movies. This lush, lavishly illustrated, 400-page volume is a coffee table book that demands its own coffee table -- maybe a plinth or pedestal with a tiny, discreet light.”

As for Lana's men, Cheryl's touching recollection of the Johnny Stompanato murder makes a reader want to cry. It is clear to me Cheryl really didn't do anything wrong. She was concerned about her mother, brought the knife up as a defense and Johnny accidentally ran into the knife. She is no more a murderess than I am. Yet, you feel she still feels bad about this all of these years. I would have done the same thing, if it were my mother. Also, Cheryl's small biographies on all of the men in her mother's life is very interesting. Cheryl tells it like it is but doesn't degrade her mother. The chapter on Ronald Dante makes me feel for Lana because as all of us beauty queens or kings get older, we become vunerable to younger men or women, who want to use us. The only comment I will say about Lex Baxter is that he was a bastard. You can read the book and see what I mean for yourself. Tyrone Power was the one who got away. The beautiful pictures of the two stars make you sad because you wish that they could have became a happy couple. Anyway, it is good to see two beautiful people together in Cheryl's rare photos.
The filmography is much more interesting in this book than the book, "The Films of Lana Turner" because Cheryl gives personal insight of what was going on in her mother's life during the making of a particular film, which a stranger could not write.
In summary, the Lana Turner book is about a little girl who thought she was Cinderalla at the ball and as time went by, reality destroyed her dream and made her accept reality or else die. Lana Turner was not only one of the most beauitul of the golden age stars of the movies but one of the most identifiable to the general public. Thank God, she had her daughter with her toward the end because with the men, it just didn't work out.
You will keep going back to reading this book because there is so much information for one to take in for one quick read. Thanks Cheryl for a great book.
Organization-wise, it departs from the traditional biography by presenting her life in well-organized sections before we get to her filmography. By the time we get to look at the section covering her films, we have a pretty good handle on who Lana Turner was due to all of the insightful commentaries her daughter has given on all aspects of Lana's stardom.
The photos are a stunning assortment of glossy studio photography as well as candids that show Lana surrounded by either co-stars or her adoring public. All of them feature captions which shed further light on what is happening at the time the photos were shot.
For any movie fan who has been fascinated by Lana Turner and her film career, this is a must. Probably the most glamorous of all the studio portraits is the one taken for "The Prodigal," an outrageously over-the-top fable featuring a scantily clad Lana as a priestess who has to perform a human sacrifice for the garish finale. It's the ultimate in glamour and has to be seen to be believed.
Among her finest films, my personal favorites begin with the romantic comedy, "Slightly Dangerous," followed by heavier fare such as "Ziegfeld Girl," "The Postman Always Rings Twice," "Green Dolphin Street," "Peyton Place," "Imitation of Life," and "Madame X." All of them get loving treatment and behind-the-scenes commentary from her daughter, typical of the incisive "I was there" type of information that only her daughter could have written.
Summing up: A glowing tribute worth any movie fan's time and worth every penny spent on it, a classic act in every way.
