Lana Turner had the BIGGEST scandal in Hollywood history.. 

[on Hollywood] “It was all beauty and it was all talent, and if you had it they protected you.” -Lana T… watch “Bette Davis a witch who cast spells on costars & her own daughter?” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bF_IWrh2iVM.html

You can be perfectly obsessed with getting your parent's love and attention WITHOUT having romantic feelings. Especially when they were lacking in affection

Smelling your moms clothes is not weird if you’re a child starving for attention. She might have married a woman because she watched her mom be in so many terrible relationships with men.

Such a sad world to accuse her daughter of inappropriately having a crush on her mom. The daughter missed and loved her mom - totally normal.

Just because Sheryl longed for her mother's attention that doesn't imply she had any inappropriate feelings for her own mom! What a crazy hypothesis. Truly a very sad story too.

She wasn’t in love with her mother like that, more like overprotective of her. Her daughter knew something wasn’t right about her mother, multiple men and multiple marriages. And I sense a great deal more happened to her by the hands of those men. Being a victim of that type of abuse, there’s only so much one actually tells because a lot of it is painful. 😊

Her poor daughter - she was so abused and neglected.

She wasn’t In love with her mother. She was a child that naturally wanted her mom’s love but her mother kept pushing her away because she didn’t want her daughter to touch her hair or makeup but at the same time allowed all those men in. Poor kid.

She strikes me as the type of woman who doesn't know how to be alone with herself and needs to fill the void with men. The good, the bad and the unfaithful as long as she has a man. She definitely sounds like the type of woman would put a man above her child.

I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry for Lana. Her daughter obviously was traumatized and neglected growing up with such an unstable woman. Especially one as selfish as Her. She shouldn't of had a kid if all she ever did was night club and bar hop!

The fact that they claimed that Cheryl was in love with her mother Lana is so absurd to me! Like every newborn would know the warmth and scent of their mother from being held it’s only natural she would do what she did. It’s not weird it’s just natural to want to surround yourself with things that make you feel safe and sound when surrounded by these strange men. Hell I even know how my grandmas and moms hands and sometimes even their presence even blind folded. But I also know some friends who just could not relate to it (sometimes cuz of the upbringing and sometimes cuz of the emotional distance). I also know some that relate to this kind of bond.

I feel fortunate to have had an affectionate mom growing up when I hear these horror stories of moms being cold. It makes me sad and angry really, but grateful for mine at the same time.

"I'm not gonna blame her for anything. . . she could've been protected a little bit more." Really, you think? This woman allowed strange many strange men around her daughter who had their way with her. That's horrific. There's no beauty that can wash away the terror she inflicted upon her child. This woman should not be celebrated. My God, what is wrong with you?

I don’t believe she was “in love” with her mother at all. She wanted more affection, which is normal for a child. She admired her mother, which is partially why she went into modeling. Also, the abuse from men early on could have DEFINITELY influenced her distrust. I agree with your read. Very tragic but seems she found love and stability. Thank you.

Loved Lana Turner as the beautiful and talented Actress. 💚 💗 Favorite movie, "Imitation of Life." So sorry her daughter Sheryl couldn't get the love & affection from her Mom that she so deserved as a child, neither in life OR death. The least Lana could have done was leave her ALL the money to help her daughter with counseling and to ease her pain.😢

There is nothing unusual about a child smelling her mother's clothes. To this day I can remember my father's scent. She probably missed her mother terribly and grieved in her absence. Recently while going through my deceased mother's things I came across a stash of clothing in a plastic bag. I smelted them and they smelled just like her. It was a bitter sweet moment as I thought of her and how sweet and precious she was and how much I miss her 😢

I believe a child being jealous for their parents attention is a normal issue when children are neglected and new men or women constantly fill a higher level than them. This happens when a parent constantly has new partners. Super sad, Lana sounds very obsessed with herself and to the detriment of her daughter. Just finished my MA in American History and recently stumbled on your channel. Love your videos, you do a fantastic job!

Sheryl’s story is really compelling! I’m glad that she found her way through MH and addiction and ran away to Hawaii to find happiness and love! I don’t think she had romantic feelings for Lana- people are so creepy then make her a lesbian on top of it- just adds fuel to the fire! Lana was cool! A real fighter and incredibly glamorous

Poor girl was so starved of her mother’s love and attention. When I was a kid my mom had to go away with work a couple of times. I remember missing her so much that I would sleep with her shirt next to me because it would smell like her. Never thought that was weird. Kids are drawn to their mother’s smell.

Why are so of these Hollywood people so emotionally redundant with their children? I feel awful about her father getting murdered for some prize money 😢😢😢 that was awful. Listening to her backstory it makes sense as to why she turned out how she did. 💐💝

My mother was like that. She was always dressed to the nines and perfect make up and nails. ❤💗

Her daughter loved her. I don't think she was was in love with her. When children aren't allowed closeness with a parent, some of them are in awe of, or kind of in awe of, the parent and try to feel close in other ways. It's not surprising her daughter might have sniffed her clothing on which there probably would've been the aroma of any perfume she wore.

The way her mother slept around, and was often gone during her formative years is why she behaved the way she did. Then the SA made it worse and could be why she grew to be attracted to women. The poor girl was damaged and neglected by the adults around her.

I LOVED her and her outfits in Immitation of Life❤

💛💖 (Yellow heart and a pink heart with some extra glamorous sparkle ✨ for Lana) She's probably one of my favourite actresses from that era. I just love Lana's style. Have you featured Jayne Mansfield on your RU-vid channel yet? I'd love to see you do a deep dive into her career and life.

Lana Turner was one of the most beautiful actresses ever.

How many beautiful talented people who are beloved by millions yet bear the scars of childhood trauma and deep unhappiness. May Lana Turner RIP.

Imitation of Life is a movie classic. Such a great tearjerker!!

Lana Turner was the greatest symbol of blonde beauty and MGM's top money-making star during the 1940's and 1950's. Hers was a rags to riches story. As myth goes, she was discovered by an agent sipping a soda at Currie's Ice Cream Parlour which led to her role in Mervyn Leroy's film They Won't Forget [1937]. This film launched her as the "Sweater Girl" and catapulted her as the reigning queen of MGM for 17 incredibly productive years. Her big screen break came with Ziegfeld Girl [1941], and she never looked back. Some of her outstanding films include: The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Three Musketeers [Her opening scene dressed in green sitting in coach will knock you out -so incredibly beautiful was she], The bad and the beautiful and Peyton Place for which she was nominated for an Oscar. While her acting may have been flayed at times, the success of her films and the jingle of the cash register at the box-office gave MGM the viability it needed.

Karine your killing it. Was thinking of Lana.

I grew up watching Lana Turner. She was always a hollywood beauty with talent.

Imitation of Life is my favorite.

My favorite feature of Lana is the sweet dimple peeking out when she smiled.💛✨🌸✨💛 I love that her name was Julia! I so relate to the therapeutic love of applying makeup and putting together outfits.😆

Absolutely love your videos! Keep up the good work! 💟

Great story Karine. I really enjoy these.❤

Love your work Karine!

💛❤️ I love hearing about this era, and you cover it flawlessly. Thank You for always discussing these early era actresses.

In a happy comment, she is a stunning looking woman, period.

Loved her in "Imitation of Life". 🩷💛

A true movie star in every sense of the word.

I absolutely love that Lana had her daughters back. I’ve been quite shocked to hear what a lot of these women have went through.

I Love 💕 Lana Turner 🩷 one of my favourite actresses, she gorgeous and she was very talented. I see her Gene Tierney , Jane Mansfield, and Marilyn Monroe as iconic old Hollywood glam. 💠🩵💄🫦🩵🩵🫦💄🩵💠

I literally binge watch your videos even the ones I’ve already seen. Please do Louise Brooks next!!!!

Karine,I love your videos 🤍 you should do a breakdown on Ornella Muti!

Omg This one was The Best yet!!! Ms Karen I wonder if you would do one on Jim Kelly and Bruce Lee. I really enjoy this. I add it to my daily routine now. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much.

Imitation of Life! For sure my favorite movie! Great job!

Just wanted to say another great deep dive and thank you so much for not using the term “sensual assault” I really appreciate you for that 💖

Hi Karine! I just recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching for the last 2 weeks! I love and appreciate what you do and all the research and hard work it must take for each of your stories. I especially love all the beautiful pictures you include with each story. I was wondering if you would cover Frances Farmer? Her life story is so unbelievably tragic and heartbreaking. Jessica Lange played her in the movie "Frances". Her best performance ever in my opinion. I think more people need to hear her story. Thank you for all that you do!

All every child wants is their mother's love. When that love is withheld, that child will do anything to get the love and attention. So any little bit of affection the mother shows, the child drinks it in and when the mother withdraws, the child blames themselves. Then mom brings home husbands to love and the child is placed at the end of the line for the mother's love. The issue being the mom never learned how to love so how could she share it with her child or anyone else.

💖 great video, If you would do Donna Summers, that would be great. You have some wonderful informative videos 👏👏

I just watched the Zigfield Girls on Sunday & discovered who she is as well as her family scandal and woah 😳

If you could do a video on Carol Landis, that would be awesome. She was quite wild, though unfortunately like many celebrities of the gold age her ending was tragic

Thank you for taking the time to deliver the very detailed histories about these beautiful women and posting several photos of these gorgeous actresses ❤🌹❤️

Thank you for your videos on Old Hollywood. Please do one on Ester Williams.

Thanks so much for the video on Lana Turner! She liked the color pink so much her boudoir was “ shell pink”.True glamour and class. I love Lana 💗

Love Lana! I'm very much like her in the fact that I find makeup and fashion super therapeutic. I always say, the worse I feel the better I look! On a bad day I'll spend an hour on my hair and makeup and it always makes me feel better. Never met anyone who was that crazy about it when feeling like crap, but hearing about Lana makes me feel more normal 💛💗

Love Yr vids! Luv from UK! 🩷🩷💛💛

I never heard of her but she was GLAM and so beautiful. My mom always told us to never bring a man home when you have kids and my mom never did as well. And I will say that could have played a part of her being over protective but not obsessed with her mom.

Another great video, the music was distracting on this one!

I love your channel!

I’ve just recently learned of your channel and have enjoyed all the content I’ve seen so far. However, I am surprised you didn’t mention Ms. Turner’s iconic role in the remake of “Imitation of Life’ with Juanita Moore. But maybe I’m biased because it’s one of my favorite movies 😂💜💜💜 love your work.

Could you please do a video on Sandra Dee? My beautiful mother who passed away last year looked like her and as a teenager idolized her growing up. I know a ton about her but would love to see what you find out. Thank you your videos are awesome!

We love you Karine! Can you do one on RUDOLPH VALENTINO the silent film Rake of Golden age of Cinema motion picture.🌹💪🏾🎬

💛💗 she is relateable

Karine my dear you read my mind again! I was just watching Peyton Place and wondered what if Karine made a video on Lana Turner! And this showed up just a few hours later! ❤ I guess we are soul 👯‍♀️ sisters! Also plz make more videos on Bollywood or Indian actresses like Sridevi or Silk Smita!! I adored your Rekha and Madhuri Dixit video and keep watching it over and over again 😂

Stawp linking more videos gawd!!! I already done been watching four vids in a row and now you got me wanting to watch another one🙄

My favorite movie with Lana Turner is a Imitation of Life. It brings me to tears every time I watch this movie. I watch this specific movie every year. Thanks for this video ❤.

Lana's father was murdered when she was nine years old (case unsolved). In a 1951 article for The Woman's Home Companion, Lana wrote: "The shock I suffered then may be a valid excuse for me now. It may explain things I do not myself understand. I know my father's sweetness and gaiety, his warmth and his tragedy have never been far from me - that, and a sense of loss and growing up too fast. Until now, my life had been wayward and impulsive, always searching for something that isn't there and then disillusionment." Cheryl noted in her autobiography, "Her [Lana's] feelings about men had to have been shaped by the odd example of her father, a fun-loving bounder whose dreams and schemes never did pan out, and the only tap dancer in her non-musical life. On the one hand, he was utterly magnetic. If she sensed Gran's growing coldness to him, it was nothing like the warmth that she felt every time he swept her up and spun her around the music of the wind-up Victrola. But on the other hand, he rejected her and her mother, leaving them in great hardship." Cheryl stated that she was aware of her sexual orientation at the age of 6. It had nothing to do with the SA she suffered. Moreover, the coroner's inquest confirmed that the person who stabbed Johnny Stompanto did not know to handle knives because the blade was inserted upside down, in other words, sharp side up. This fits as 14-year-old Cheryl was rarely permitted in the kitchen. At 14, Cheryl was taller than Lana and Stompanto was dying of a liver ailment and would have only lived a few more years if that. Cheryl didn't start modeling until she was nearly 20 years old. Other than Lex Barker, Cheryl never accused any of her mother's other husbands or boyfriends of abusing her. She viewed her mother's fifth husband, Fred May, as her second father. Cheryl's father, Stephen Crane, was married five times, and when she visited her father as a child, he often had strange people around her, smoking, drinking, playing poker, etc, but I don't see people using that against him.

Decades ago I remember watching a movie based on a true story, I think it was called Madam X, and I never researched it. After watching this video maybe it was based on the trauma of what happened in her life. I wish that I could remember it all now. Thank you for taking us down memory road. Thank you for all your time and effort putting this together.🥰

As always you've done a phenomenal job.🎉 I loved the track in the background I was trying to guess who it was. Tell bro it's super dope🎉 Lana although beautiful and talented emotionally neglected her daughter. Her life was to filled with men and the limelight and needling attention she missed from her father. Lana was Still looking for her dad's love in all these men.

Loved her in Imitation Of Life❤

Not sure if you mentioned Lana Turner in Imitation of Life but I didn't hear it, was one of my favorites

Omg that is literally one of my most favorite movies ever, “imitation of life” she literally played an actress and that is how Hollywood really was like you talk about , I cry every single time at the end of that movie 🎥🐾💓🌸💛

This reminds me of when Jason mamoa had his arm around his daughter in a pic and ppl said it was inappropriate. It looked perfectly normal. These ppl r sick

I don't think Cheryl was in love with her mother in a carnal way, but she was in love with the woman she wanted to put her first in her life, her mother, the one person who should have put her first. As for the murder Cheryl probably was just trying to protect her mom. Lana should have put her first, but she too carried her own baggage and it affected her mentally too. The golden age was not so golden, but was a murky place where many stars were held captive by their past offenses and trials.

🩷💛 I wouldn't be surprised if her daughter's actions were triggered by past trauma. When you said "uncles" it made me think of Christina Crawford. It must be hard having a "nontraditional" mother, at that time, having to share her with so many others. I was trying to think of who would be interesting for future videos... I have a terrible memory, though 😬 I can't remember everyone you've done!😂 This did make me think of how I used to love Virginia Mayo, when I was a kid. I find Gloria Graham intriguing, and know nothing about her. You have done most of my favorite Artists of color, I love how diverse your "subjects" are. I tried to look through your videos, have you done Michelle Yeoh? She's so elegant. If you ever think of doing a "Where Are They Now" episode, I was thinking for the Rappers/R & B/Freestyle Artists I loved in the late 80's/early 90's, like: MC Lyte, Jody Whatley, Lisette Melendez, Exposé, Cover Girls, Michelé😳 Maybe Girl Groups would be interesting?

My favorite movies of hers were Imitation of Life. I always cry when I watch it and Madame X. I cried in that one too.

Lana was sexy and glamorous. My favorite was "The Postman Always Rings Twice." She and John Garfield sizzled both on-screen (and off-screen, too). I think her daughter probably took the rap for the mobster boyfriend's death. Cheryl wasn't "in love" with her mother. She was very protective. Apparently, this mobster had roughed up her mom before and was threatening to do more harm since Lana was ending the relationship. I feel for the daughter since Lana had so many lovers and husbands. There was no stability. That said, Lana was also a very gifted actress who often got labeled a sex symbol. She was much more than that. Thanks, Karine, for your profile of the glorious Lana Turner! 💗💛💗💛

Karine 🖤

Lana Turner ❤ I just know when that Frequency beat drops the video is going to good!!!

I’ve never heard of this woman before this moment but she is now my new GLAM ICON INSPO 🥺🤩💎

Can you please do Helena Kristensen the 90s supermodel 😊

I low key fan boy Lana’s A lister always ready for the camera grooming routine. Shucks I’m a man but some days I struggle to maintain just not dirty forget about “glam” Her remedy for stress was planning outfits? I admire this Lady!

Hey Karine! Now that Titanic is trending again, can you do a video on Kate Winslet? She has an interesting, unbothered charm to her. Maybe a video on how we lack elegance and that mystique in Hollywood these days..

Loved her Imitation of Life, Peyton Place and Portrait Black. She filmed with the actress who played her daughter in Imitation of Life in the latter.

Imitation of life was my moms favorite movie, that’s the first I saw her and was taken by her style loved her dresses 👗

Can you do a video about Mexican singer and actress Thalia? Love your videos

One of all time favorite movie stars. My favorite movies staring Lana Turner are "Imitation of Life" which is a stunning drama with Sandra Dee as her daughter. Its very stylish and very what will she wear next. And i love of course "The postman always rings twice" and "Zeigfeild Girl" with Jimmy Stewart Judy Garland and Heddy Lamar 💕

The postman always rings twice and imitation of life are my favorite movies with Lana Turner. I do blame Lana though.

okay, here's what usually get's missed out of the conversation with Johnny Guy. The Mob was interested in dipping their toes in every kind of business you could possibly think and Hollywood was such a business. Johnny guy was a ex-marine WWII Veteran guessing maybe before the War he ventured into the world of organized crime because he came back after The War's End too work for Mickey Cohen. He was a bodyguard for Cohen; He was a known Gigolo probably set up extortion scheme's with Older women & executive wives of Hollywood elite; Johnny began going out with Lana because She was a Mark. She marry him; get him and executive job in Hollywood where eventually Mickey could then take over a Studio. A lot of racketeering/money laundering/fraud/narcotics and of course signing people too contract's in order to do whatever they choose with great talent! The trouble is Lana still owned herself; nobody told her what too do accept for executives in Hollywood. Although, I'm laughing in my head over this one; Johnny could last far longer in bed he was impressive guy wise and had a lot of stamina. after, 7 month's Lana grew bored and dumped Him; he didn't leave he stayed in the house so since she had too do a movie thankfully in Scotland. He tracked her down in Scotland attacked her violently and who nearly killed Him; a young Sean Connery. An that dude was bulky but, he did Help Lana Turner and Johnny got himself banned from England/Scotland & The United Kingdom. She got numerous body guards after that. now you'd think after Lana goes on vacation recovering from The Attack you don't expect that guy to show up at your vacation in The Caribbean before heading home but, there was Johnny Guy the Mob had their own Social media of their day! daughter arrives on vacation with mom and awkward what was Johnny Guy doing there? If no one has yet finished scratching their Head it was all about Mickey Cohen criminal organization and He was Johnny Guy's boss. This mean's Lana Turner and Daughter are actually being held hostage. So finally after Lana Turner's decision too take her daughter to The Award Ceremony that's when he blew up and that's when she screamed at him; I want you out of here, Get Out (Lana Turner owned her own House), Johnny can't tell Mickey his boss that she don't want me around no more this is the Mob so he tells her if you were a Man I'll kill you but since you make your living with your face, I'll carve you up good. Now Lana's daughter hear's her mom struggle with Johnny Guy and goes to the kitchen picks up a butcher knife for carving Turkey; goes up stairs and right when Johnny Guy leaves to get something too carve her face with walks right into The Knife🔪 which lana's daughter held it sticking out. now what child is going too stand back and not defend their parent from a possible attack? Lana does the following calls her Ex-Husband/Her Agent/a doctor who has too tell Lana they're going too need a good Lawyer; then police get called. An Lana Turner during the murder Trial against her Daughter Acted her butt off she deserved an Oscar for everybody said it. The daughter struggled with guilt because she killed someone and had acting out behaviour after that I'd say shell shock a bit. Bottom line Lana's daughter saved her mother's life!

PS Read “ Detour: A Hollywood Story” by her daughter Cheryl. Great Hollywood book!

This is unbelievable...wow !!

How Lana is with shoes thats me lol if i love a shoe, i have to have it in every color.

I named my daughter LANA after Lana Turner. 💗💛💗💛💗💛

Can you please do Sandra Dee? She played Lana's daughter in Imitation of Life. Her story is crazy too. Her mother was a whole lot. And her life was pretty sad.

Make Bo Derek, please

The people that say Cheryl was in love with her mom are just homophobic, saying this because she was gay.

please cover Betty white! 😩 or Bettie page or irma serrano la tigresa 🖤

Mysteries & Scandal's that used too Air on E channel. Lana Turner is apart of the series and it was really good.

I loved Lana Turner on the episode of Columbo, the iconic tv series. Lana’s character buried her husband in the backyard and she played the heck out of that role. Lt Columbo was still a big fan but he had to arrest her anyway. He had the greatest stars on his tv show. Karine, it was good seeing younger pictures of Ms Turner because on Columbo she was older and I wondered what she looked like when she was younger because even older you could tell she was a beauty. This was before google was popular.
