Lana Turner And Cheryl Crane At Age 74
Lana Turner, a prominent figure of Old Hollywood, achieved remarkable stardom and even held the distinction of being one of the industry’s highest-paid actresses. In addition to her successful tenure at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Turner’s personal life was also filled with intriguing tales. One of the most sensationalized events in her life involved the unfortunate death of her former partner, Johnny Stompanato. Amid a heated altercation that turned violent, Turner’s daughter, Cheryl Crane, intervened and fatally stabbed Stompanato while protecting her mother. In a court ruling that recognized Crane’s actions as a defense of her mother, both Lana and her daughter were acquitted. Deviating from her mother’s path, Cheryl Crane ventured into real estate and pursued a career as an author.
