Lana Turner was the ultimate personification of the term"movie star.” The actress and world-class beauty lived the glamorous life to the hilt, and was part of one of the most notorious scandals in Hollywood history. Lana's daughter, Cheryl Crane, now tells her mother's story for the first time, featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photos from her private family collection. 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.

Descripción del producto

Críticas

Times-Picayune (New Orleans) "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."

No soy un gran fan de Lana Turner, aunque actuó en tres películas que estén entre mis favoritas (The postman always ring twice, The bad and the beautiful y Imation of life), pero este libro es fabuloso, tiene cientos de fotos de gran calidad, algunas de ellas poco publicadas o ineditas, el texto también esta muy bien (prácticamente el mismo que el documental de TCM que acompaña el dvd usa de The bad and the beautiful). La primera parte es una biografía y la segunda un repaso a su filmografia completa, película a película con comentarios y críticas de la época.

Second opus de Cheryl Crane consacré à sa mère (Detour son autobiographie était sortie en 1988), Lana : the memories, the myths, the movies s'avère un superbe hommage qui, par le biais de ses innombrables photographies en noir et blanc ou couleur, nous ramène à la grande époque des studios où littéralement l'on façonnait les stars, la jeune Julia Jean Turner ayant été, selon la légende, repérée alors qu'elle sirotait un soda. Riche de multiples anecdotes, doté une présentation minutieuse de tous les films auxquels l'actrice a participé, le texte n'échappe pas à l'hagiographie occultant, ainsi, partiellement la relation troublée qu'entretinrent leurs vies durant la mère et la fille, et ceci jusque la toute fin, puisque Cheryl contesta le testament de sa mère qui avait décidé de léguer l'essentiel de sa fortune à sa dame de compagnie. La force de cette monumentale anthologie de près de 400 pages est d'entremêler la fiction et la réalité, les films et les moments d'une vie, le lecteur sentant bien que plus d'une fois le public (et peut-être même Lana) perdirent la perception de de lien ténu comme le prouvèrent les cris d'encouragement des spectateurs quand, brûlée par le scandale Stompanoto, son image réapparut tel un phénix sur les écrans de cinéma dans ce qui demeure son plus grand succès Imitation of life. Un titre qui, à la réflexion, s'appliquerait à merveille à ce pur et sublime produit Hollywoodien qu'elle continue d'incarner.

The Ultimate Lana Turner Book for Fans and NonFans

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 9 de enero de 2009

Compra verificada

Lana The Memories, the Myths, the Movies by Cheryl Crane with Cindy De La Hoz is the ultimate Lana Turner movie book. This book is much more than a coffee table book or a simple biography. The giant book not only has very rare photographs and facts but a heart felt story of a daughter's love for her mother.

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.

Best movie star book ever. Written by her daughter so it is very comprehensive in everyway. Reviews all her movies, TV shows and awards. Details all her husbands and lovers. Fabulous detail of her costumes and image throughout the years. Loved it and couldn't put it down.
