February 8, 2021 marks what would have been the 100th birthday of Lana Turner, the ice-blonde goddess of the silver screen whose film credits include
The Postman Always Rings Twice,
Peyton Place,
The Bad and the Beautiful, and
Imitation of Life. Though she was a Hollywood icon, Turner s real life was as dramatic and tragic as any of the heroines she ever played onscreen (if not more so).
1. Lana Turner s father was murdered when she was a child.
Lana Turner born Julia Jean Mildred Francis Turner on February 8, 1921 in Wallace, Idaho had one of the most dramatic off-screen lives of any star of the Golden Age of Hollywood. The tragedy began when Turner was just 9 years old and her father a conman and sometime-bootlegger named Virgil M. Turner was beaten to death after winning money at a card game. His murder was never solved.
