One of America’s most celebrated sex symbols during the 1940’s and 50’s, Turner made over fifty films in her career.  Though Hollywood legend states that Turner was discovered at Schwab’s drugstore, she actually was “discovered” by William R. Wilkerson, the publisher of the Hollywood Reporter, as she sat  drinking a soda in the Top Hat Café in 1937, Turner entered the movie world at age 17 with small parts in such movies as “A Star is Born”(1937) and “Love Finds Andy Hardy”(1938) starring Mickey Rooney.  By the 1940’, Lana had firmly planted in the Hollywood film industry.  She landed good roles in such films as “Johnny Eager”(1941) and “Somewhere I’ll Find You”(1942).  Her professional life was escalating smoothly, however her personal life was a travesty, keeping her in the news in a way that was to become a detriment to her rising career. Battling alcoholism and the scandal of her daughter Cheryl fatally murdering her boyfriend, gangster Johnny Stompanato, in 1958, was like a story one could only read in a steamy novel.  Fourteen year old Cheryl was acquitted of the murder charge, with the jury finding that she was protecting her mother from Stompanato, who was brutally beating her, and ruled it justifiable homicide.  Lana’s tempestuous personal life… eight marriages, a string of lovers, and a very public murder scandal…only increased her reputation as a larger-than-life screen and sex symbol.

A favorite Hollywood quote came from the glamorous Ms. Turner who said “A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man”. Lana certainly put this quote to the test….eight marriages later! Admired by her fans as one of Hollywood’s most magnificent actresses in such films as “Ziegfeld Girl”, “Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “Honky Tonk”… may Ms. Turner also be remembered for her gorgeous jewelry collection. She wore the Stunning platinum and diamond Delectable Diamond Earring jewelry in a publicity photo.
