IMDB
BIOGRAPHY: Lana Turner had an acting ability that belied the "Sweater Girl" image MGM thrust upon her, and even many of her directors admitted that they knew she was capable of greatness (check out The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)). Unfortunately, her private life - seven marriages, affairs almost too numerous to mention, a long bout with alcoholism and the famous incident where her gangster lover, Johnny Stompanato, was killed by her daughter, Cheryl Crane - came to overshadow her professional accomplishments.
TRIVIA:
- Measurements: 34C-25-34 ("The Sweater Girl" -1940), 35 1/2C-24 1/2-36 (from "Movieland Pin-Ups"- 1954), 34C-26-38 (from her autobiography), (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine).
- Sister-in-law of 'Daniel Topping' (qv) during her marriage to his brother, Henry Topping.
- In the movie _Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)_ (qv) with 'Spencer Tracy' (qv) and 'Ingrid Bergman (I)' (qv) she was originally supposed to play the part of Ivy, the tart, and Bergman was supposed to play the innocent girl engaged to Tracy but Bergman wanted Turner's part and so the roles were switched.
- Is portrayed by 'Brenda Bakke' (qv) in _L.A. Confidential (1997)_ (qv)
- One daughter: 'Cheryl Crane' (qv) (fathered by Steve Crane).
- In her autobiography, she stated that her true birthdate is February 8, 1921. She stated that "I am one year younger than the records show."
- In Italy, almost all of her films were dubbed by either 'Lidia Simoneschi' (qv) or 'Rosetta Calavetta' (qv). She was occasionally dubbed by 'Dhia Cristiani' (qv).
- Was considered for the role of Maggie Pollitt in _Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)_ (qv), which was eventually given to 'Elizabeth Taylor (I)' (qv).
