Peter Turner chats about his love for Gloria Grahame in Film Stars don't die in Liverpool 

I think Jamie Bell was equally as good too

Bening😉

lovely comment. thank you!

I agree

Yes, Annette Benning really nailed the Gloria Grahame role. Entire cast was impressive. Hadn't seen Julie Waters lately, she's always wonderful. I've been a Gloria G fan since I was a kid. She's among the best of all film noir actresses. Too bad she didn't have a more successful career, as she got older. Gloria was great looking and very sexy, too. That infamous pout, those big eyes...😍😍

@@Barbara-yj5tl yeh I think so, but they had a beautiful little romance all the same😊

I absolutely agree with you and I am also reading the memoirs. Brilliant! So simple yet so amazing. Real stories are so special. Peter is such a lovely person. Unlike some of the bullies in the film industry.

I have the actual film screening in a separate window on the computer and as I'm watching the above interview with Peter Turner, he also appears in the film in the cameo role of Jack, the stagehand at the one-hour-twenty-five-minute mark. What a coincidence.

me too it's a lovely film

londonmums Ditto

It wasn’t in the book.

beautiful book, beautiful love story and great guy!

The film is FANTASTIC but! VERY sad. out now on dvd through Amazon

@@samuelparker9882 Bullshit. That was an allegation by Nicholas Ray. Ray, while a great director, was an alcoholic/drug abuser and a notorious womanizer. He seduced a very young, 16 yr old Natalie Wood in 1955. I wouldn't believe a damned thing Nicky boy said. Gloria and those around at the time all indicate that the guy in question was a grown man, when they got romantic. Also of note on this, Gloria and Ray's son, from another marraige, Anthony, remained married for 14 yrs. Ten more than her marriage with Nick lasted. I suggest you delve into this a bit further, before you judge and get nasty about a woman like her. Jackass.

@@waynej2608 actually, the marriage lasted 14 years in name only. They had separated years prior but had only filed for divorce years later.

@@waynej2608 Tony Ray admitted the affair with Gloria (when he was 13 years old) to Dennis Hopper who confirms it. Anthony Ray (son of Nicholas Ray) also admitted the affair to his son, James Ray. Gloria Grahame married Tony Ray in May of 1960, when he was 22. They went on to have two sons, Tony Ray Jr in 1963 and James Ray in 1965

I'll check if I can find them in the memoirs and will let you know

When I bought the book many years ago upon release I was disappointed that it had no pictures of them together except for a blurry picture on the dust jacket. It took away some the books credibility as far as I was concerned. Still would like to see the movie, though.

@@wk1810 Peter Turner is my uncle the pic in New York is Gloria and Peter's niece and my cousin Eileen

flitebiscuit I dunno. She did not look her best in the later years because she was ill. I bet Peter did that for HER privacy - the photos I mean. That is a sensitive thing.

I don't think so at all.

There’s always one who sees things as he is rather than as they are.

crimsonrush a minor stroke maybe?

You are not suggesting he is embellishing the truth for attention are you? How dare you!

He did admit in the film (I haven’t read the book, but I’d imagine it’s the same) that he is bisexual
