Joe Morella and Edward Z. Epstein pull back the curtain on the woman behind the silver screen, uncovering the turbulent romances, multiple marriages, and personal scandals that made Turner as famous off-screen as on. Written with the sharp, unflinching tone of seasoned entertainment journalists, the narrative presents an intimate portrait of a woman shaped by ambition, vulnerability, and the relentless machinery of the Hollywood studio system. The authors detail the infamous 1958 stabbing of Turner's abusive lover Johnny Stompanato by her teenage daughter Cheryl Crane — a tabloid sensation that threatened to destroy her career — and illustrate how Turner's resilience ultimately defined her legacy. Fans of classic Hollywood history and celebrity biography will find this an authoritative and absorbing account of one of cinema's most iconic and complicated figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820247298267,"sku":"2026100005231-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a791aba3-2396-4bf8-abbc-20e3586d30b0.png?v=1780055625","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005231-secondhand-lana-the-public-and-private-lives-of-miss-turner","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
