want to set up and take notice. And she always tried to to the right thing . I

all stars." Danilo

the screen with her beauty and could act, saw few wooden performances, was
always a joy to watch, her life was in turmoil, never gave her credit,
jealous, didn't sleep with the right Hollywood moguls. Wish we had seen more
of her." Jemima

"She has a cool confidence that draws you to her. Smart and Sexy. " Bjorn

and I know I wouldn't stand a chance against miss Turner's appeal. She is the
most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
God bless her!" Rolando
(Chile) on Lana Turner
"Lanita is the definitive movie star and the reason is that no one before
nor after her has reunited so many factors that make a movie star. In
fact, these are countless, the main being her Spanish first name and English
last-- the sole union between the two parts of our continent. And who
else but the ravishing blonde lady!" Kristina

history." Lydia

to be with. I admire her to keep going on no matter what happened in her
personal life. I'm glad to read that in her last years she found peace with
the Lord." Gilles
(France) on Lana Turner
"She makes the world look beautiful." Lana
Dianne
(USA) on Lana Turner

(USA) on Lana Turner
"She had the magic, the star quality that none have as far as I'm
concerned." Carol
(USA) on Lana Turner

actresses. Unfortunately she didn't get the credit she deserved." Premila
(India) on Lana Turner
"She was great looking with lots of oomph! Very sexy!" Peter
(UK) on Lana Turner
"Lana Turner was the ultimate movie star/sex goddess diva. Her appeal is
timeless - she was possessed of tremendous sexual magnetism - men who weren't
even born when she was a star fantasize about her on seeing her old movies.
She could have any man she wanted - on-screen and off - and she knew it. Men
were putty in her hands. All her movie leading men fell in love with her, she
was the number one femme fatale of Hollywood of all time. Her personal life
just added to her magnetism - her life was tumultuous, sensational,
scandal-ridden - and it all became a part of the legend of this greatest of
the movie divas. Lana was no distant, aloof star - she was a compulsive hot
blooded woman, driven by sexual desire, and the need to conquer men and find
love. If you wrote a movie script depicting a life like Lana's nobody would
believe it. Lana Turner - just the sound of her name is so evocative, she was
so much larger than life - truly the greatest diva of them all. Through the
magic of the movies she lives with us forever. I love her." David
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She is the most beautiful white woman that I have ever seen." Lana
(Canada) on Lana Turner
"Well, let's see ... she was a Love Goddess, pretty... she shaved her eye-brows
off and they never grew back ... that's funny, but at least she could draw
them back on." Enrique
(Spain) on Lana Turner
"The way she walked!" Tracy
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Reminds me of my wife. That should say enough." Rochele
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She represents what a true movie star is: glamour, style, wit,
personality." Doni
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Always loved her movies, she is a favorite of mine from the 1930-1940's
Era. A very beautiful & wonderful actress, always had much class &
elegance." Megan
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She was beautiful and she had an attitude." Adam
(USA) on Lana Turner
"I love her life and films." Joseph
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Like my own life thus far, hers was one of bars, booze, men, and bad
acting! Love Lana-- the woman rocks!" David
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Lana Turner was and is the ultimate movie star: the ultimate beauty, ultimate
Hollywood discovery, ultimate Hollywood scandal. What more could you
want? Plus, she was a much better actress than she was given credit for." Linda
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She was gorgeous, sexy yet innocent, a better actress than she was given
credit for and she survived. The Ultimate Diva!" Richard
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She was magnificent." Leslie
(USA) on Lana Turner
"... because with all she faced, even stumbling over her own flaws, she
fought to get and stay on top. She was also one of the first actresses over
the age of 35 to be taken seriously." Lea
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Talent, style, funny, hot!" Nachum
(Germany) on Lana Turner
"... because of her role in 'The postman always rings twice'. There has
never been a woman more sensual and sexy than Lana in this movie." M.M.
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She was one of the greatest all time actresses - if not the best." Ivan
(UK) on Lana Turner
"I followed her career since a teenager and loved her, saw all her films,
collected all pictures and also painted her portrait." Jorge
(Brazil) on Lana Turner
"I hear people say she was not a good actress. I don't think so. 'Madame
X' and 'Imitation of Life' are good proofs of it. But even if she wouldn't be,
it would be enough to look at that marvelous creature on the screen, and it
would be enough. Lana Turner wasn't just glamorous, she was everything the
word 'glamour' is all about. I also admire the way she carried her
life with all that criticism the press threw at her. I guess she knew that for
many, many people (like me) just to be given the sight of her beauty would
make all the rest unimportant. When I see the new 'stars' of today like Julia
Roberts, Sandra Bullock ..., I wonder : How can these people be called 'sex
symbols' or even actresses? I put a Lana Turner video and I go back to
the time when a 'star' was a 'star'. And lovely Lana, you are the biggest of
them all!" Katariina
(Finland) on Lana Turner
"She's perfect!" Richard
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She had magic, presence, an unforgettable voice, and was glamour,
always." Rachael
(UK) on Lana Turner
"She was one of those actors who never received an Oscar but firmly deserved
one for 'The Postman Always Rings Twice'. Although many people argue that she
was looks instead of talent, the way she portrayed her characters in the films
that she was in was non other than first class. Perhaps one reason why I
regard her to be a better 'diva' than say Joan Crawford or Grace Kelly, is
because she had more character, she had more of a life off public stage and
was generally regarded to be a considerate and easy to get along with co-star.
Least we forget she is perhaps the most beautiful actress that has ever been
in Hollywood-and she could act to-rare for such a personality!" Jeff
(USA) on Lana Turner
"'Love?! Is that what you call it with your hands all over me?!'
Please ... any questions?" Richard
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Lana's voice, mannerisms, her entire being was sexy and vulnerable. A
star always!" Nicole
(USA) on Lana Turner
"The ultimate diva ever is Lana Turner! She said she would have
rather lost a good earring than be seen in public without makeup. That is a
diva!"
K.K.
(USA) on Lana Turner
"... because she was beautiful, a great actress who was never lucky
enough to win the coveted Oscar, and could collect men anywhere she went!"
Lou
(USA) on Lana Turner
"... because she did it all!"
Antonio
(Spain) on Lana Turner
"She is wonderful and a very pretty star." Andrea
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She is the best." Celeste
(USA) on Lana Turner
"... because I think she is the ultimate glamorous movie queen who never
lost her exoticness. I remember the very first time that I saw a film with
Lana Turner. It was entitled 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' and I was
mesmerized not only by her lovely appearance, but, by her acting in this film
as well. She was a true movie star right to the hilt and never tried to deny
it! Despite all her personal troubles, she never lost her spunk!"
Charles
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Gorgeous, good actress." Sariddy
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She inspires me with my acting career." Terry
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She had the grace, determination and beauty of a lioness, yet was one of
the sweetest people to grace the screen. Vastly underrated in the talent area.
A commanding presence; "Bad & Beautiful" was her story in many
ways, and she didn't have to act so much as just be in the role." Bill
(USA) on Lana Turner
"Lana Turner is my favorite diva, she is cool, collected, and always
knows that to be a diva, you don't have to act like one in real life." Sam
(USA) on Lana Turner
"She lived the life she
portrayed in front of the camera. She was glamour personified and did it till much later in life than many of her contemporaries. She was a star with a
capital S. She was also robbed of an Oscar in 1957 for Peyton Place and should
have at least got an honorary before she died. The Academy should be ashamed." Erin
(USA) on Lana Turner
"... because I loved
her in 'Imitation of Life'!" |
