Pressestimmen
"Times-Picayune" (New Orleans)
"There has never been a movie star book as drop-dead gorgeous, nor as personal, as "Lana: The Memories, the Myths, the Movies," This lush, lavishly illustrated, 400-page volume is a coffee table book that demands its own coffee table -- maybe a plinth or pedestal with a tiny, discreet light."

Kurzbeschreibung
Lana Turner defined the term 'movie star'. In this lavish book, Lana's daughter tells the story of her mother's life and stellar career for the first time"Lana Turner: The Memories, the Myths, the Movies" is the story of a screen legend like no other. Told for the first time by her daughter, Cheryl Crane, this is the Cinderella story of a girl discovered at the age of fifteen sipping a soda, who became a star overnight. From blonde bombshell to box-office queen of the '40s, she led a whirlwind life marked by seven marriages and a tragedy that made her and her daughter infamous, when Cheryl stabbed her mother's abusive lover to death.The woman behind the sensational headlines comes alive in this gorgeous book. Lana was fun-loving, impulsive, generous to a fault, and above all, a survivor. While Lana's private adventures inspired the press, her talent and provocative presence shone in films like "The Postman Always Rings Twice", "The Bad and the Beautiful", and "Imitation of Life", and her complete list of movie credits are profiled here as well. Told in an engaging and unique way, with sections ranging from 'Lanamours' to 'Homes' to 'Makeup Secrets,' her life in and out of movies is told through extensive text illustrated with hundreds of unseen photos. These rare images show one of the most alluring women that ever lived, along with famous friends like Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and Howard Hughes, at work and play.Michael Douglas has the movie option and there have been news items about a film based on Lana's life going into production starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Keanu Reeves.

Ein sehr schöner Band. Klar hält sich die Tochter mit intimen Details zurück und versucht ihre Mutter von deren Schokoladenseite zu zeigen ... doch ist der Band sehr schön aufgemacht. Mit vielen Fotos, die man so eher nicht mehr zu sehen bekommen wird. Relativ ausführliche Infos zu praktisch allen Filmen, die Lana Turner je gedreht hat. TOP!

Candid & Unusual
17. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Some might say that Lana Turner would not be well-known today if it weren't for her daughter...and they would be right for two reasons: the lingering memory of the sensationalized press, myth and aftermath surrounding the Stompanato killing--and Cheryl Crane's reflective, revealing, forgiving and ultimately all-loving books--the first being "Detour"--and now, this latest effort.
This new book is everything a Lana fan could hope for--lots of unretouched, seldom-seen, candid and family photos--with pages of interesting "you are there" style commentary. The coffee table-sized book is glossy and glamorous, just like Lana--and down-to-earth, thoughtful, intimate and organized--like Lana's daughter. The book is beautifully designed, thoroughly researched--and, by the way--priced very low for the quality.
As an aside: how they managed to get this high level of production value for this price is beyond me, but I will take advantage of it and buy several for holiday and birthday gifts :)
Final note: Attention all Lana fans: this is THE book for you.

Dazzling Brilliant Tribute to Lana Turner
15. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Cheryl Crane, daughter to the incredible icon of Hollywood glamour Lana Turner, gave a gift to both fans and her mother in this beautiful book. Overflowing in beautiful glossy MGM photos and even more never-before-seen photos, this is the ultimate tribute to Lana Turner.
The book is extremely well planned and seems to answer every question a Lana Turner may have had. Several sections highlight the Loves of Lana Turner with many accompanying photos, the family, behind the scenes. It is a Must Have for any Lana Turner fan!!
Every Hollywood star should have such a beautiful tribute to their life! Congratulations to Cheryl Crane for a beautiful, very well-done book!!

BEAUTIFUL BOOK - FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!
16. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Lana Turner's new book is beautifully illustrated and written by Cheryl Crane and Cindy De La Hoz. I love it! The cover art is beautiful. It is so unique from any other autobiography/film books in the way it's presented and written. It's so original. It's exquisite with lots of original photos, facts and information. I am totally enthralled by the uniqueness of this book. As a classic movie fan for many years, this book has surpassed any biography/film books that I have read in the last 15 years. I highly recommend it to all Lana fans and those who love classic movies. This is an excellent example of how autobiographies should be done. Congratulations to both authors!! Five stars all the way!
P.S. Be sure to read Lucy at the Movies: The Complete Films of Lucille Ball also by Cindy De La Hoz who does a beautiful job.
