Lana Turner

Lana Turner

Highest Rated: 89% The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)

Lowest Rated: 40% Portrait in Black (1960)

Birthday: Feb 8, 1921

Birthplace: Wallace, Idaho, USA

In her reign as a movie goddess of the 1940s and early 1950s, Lana Turner came to crystallize the opulent heights to which show business could usher a small-town girl. Her apocryphal "discovery" at Schwab's Drug Store made her a textbook example of sun-drenched Hollywood dream-making, even as she would become a queen of the darkling plane of film noir in her most fondly recalled film, "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946).
