I am the daughter of Ronald Pellar (Lanas 7th husband/night club hypnotist) The marriage to Lana ended in part because she was an alcoholic. She was not a bad person at all, but my dad couldn’t deal with it. He had to protect her from the spotlight when she drank too much. He said she was very sweet & he never saw her without makeup. She would wake up before him & put her makeup on. She was sweet & beautiful, but it wasn’t meant to be. A lot of bad rumors were spread about my dad. My dad married my mom in 1974 & he was a great father & husband to my mom, myself & my sister. He passed away a few years ago & is greatly missed… Don’t believe everything you read. He was the best father we could have asked for.

Hi!!! I want to thank you so much for sharing this. I am going to pin this comment to give future viewers this perspective. This is a fantastic reminder that there are always multiple sides to a story and you indeed can’t believe everything you read. It’s truly incredible to hear that she woke up to put on makeup every morning and I can 100% understand how it would be difficult to deal with her drinking. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate you taking time out of your day to leave this comment and share. You are so gracious and that speaks volumes about how good your father (and mother) must have been. Sending love and light to you and your sister in memory of your late father! ✨🤍

Lana Turner is my cousin. I am related to her through her mother and then her mothers mother. The Julia name comes from her great grandmother Julia Ann Porter b. 1861.

I love hearing about these old stories. Another gem.

Just finished the video! I think the most alluring thing about Lana is that she never gave up on love, even when things turned really sour. She knew her self-worth and dropped men when she definitively knew they were not good. Often, women continue relationships beyond a relationship's prime because of fear of not finding someone else or what others will think. Also, in our society we judge people like Kim K for having short marriages, but Lana never cared about what others thought, only caring about herself and her daughter. What a queen 🙌

Lana is my absolute favorite as well. She was the most beautiful of them all. But her hair was a huge part of her look. She had a very very low side part... Then the front was swept up and the rest cascaded down. She wore her hair exclusively like that... for most of her career... And it fit her perfectly!

Hi Rachael! 🥰 That is so cool!! Happy very very early Birthday! 🥰

Enjoyed this- however, you missed a couple of big points 1-. - Lana was addicted to face lifts - having at least 5 from the 1960s onwards - she famously went to a Beverly Hills Surgeon in the 1970s with a picture of herself from 3 Muskateers- asking to look like that again - impossible. 2. - A big event was Lana's appearances in the night time Soap Falcon Crest in early 80s- Lana looked great and her character ''Jacqueline Peroult'' was a big hit with audiences and initially writers kept adding to Lana's part- until a feud developed with the star of the show ''Jane Wyman' who saw to it Lana's character was killed off.

My name is Lanna Tutor... I am a Virgo, Leo... I've used Lana Turner to help people say my name correctly all my life... I'm from Washington originally. I am also an only child. My mom was a house wife and my dad was an entrepreneur who passed away when I was 6. I also met someone with the last name Wilkenson who changed my life... Very interesting if you ask me. Oh I was also a model when I was a teenager however I didn't move to California so I guess we will never know if I could have been more like her.

You probably read that Frank Sinatra was involved with Mafia's so that would make sense that he may have warned Lana Turner about her Italian fan.

You're talking real good about Sean Connery? He thought it was ok to hit a woman because she wouldn't shut up. I seen the video where he said that and it wasn't doctored in any way.

Sean Connery chased Johnny Stomp out of Scotland because He was beating Lana, Sean Connery said He was going too kill Him and Johnny was banned from England. All this occured while Lana was filming this movie with Sean Connery. Your Right though Sean Connery did say that in a interview and held nothing back!

I'm late to your playlist of beauty biographies but am enjoying them nonetheless. Question. Were the Marx Brothers infamous or famous? I am not aware of them having bad reputations or evil. Are they instead famous or well known? Guess I will have to deep dive to find out if they were not so great.

"So, quite obviously the nun thing, does not pan out." 😒...😂

You were correct about Big Band leader Artie Shaw. He broke Judy Garland’s heart by suddenly eloping with Lana Turner. A while before he died, a bunch of my friends and I went to his performance at the gorgeous "Stardust Ballroom" at Connecticut's "Lake Compounce" amusement park. Mister Shaw literally demanded THAT NOBODY CAN DANCE DURING HIS FIRST SET! Um? HUH?! For the amount we paid for tickets, he could kiss my lily white ankles!!! 🤬

Lana was fine.

She promotes makeup and gives tips on makeup. Just listen! You don’t have to watch if you don’t like the makeup part!

Why didn't Lana get a restraining order against Johnny Stempannato?

Because She was a Mark by The Mob Mickey Cohen's violent outfit. He assigned Johnny too Lana Whatever it was Mickey wanted something from Hollywood itself and he couldn't get it without a starlet of some kind giving them access.

It's both weird and gross to us pertaining too The 24 year old and the 14 year old however in that era it was rather common for those Age gaps too be joined in Union. It's now with modern thinking we see this as disgusting behaviour.

It is pronounced 'STOMP- a- nato NOT STAMP-a- nato...STOMP-a-Nato.

i think you made yourself look very similar to Lana.

Actually it's not pretty obvious because it was called The May Company. Lol

Sean Connery thought it was ok to slap your wife

I read that Lana first took Cheryl to the doctor when she made her claim about the abuse by Lex Barker so she did her due diligence. You can't always take a child's word as the Absolute Truth, they actually do sometimes lie. The important thing is discovering the truth and doing the right thing about it. Apparently, Lana did this, although, of course, it would have been even better had she not brought horrible men like these into her homes and her daughter's life, but movie stars of that era were not trained to be good parents.

i see what you mean but i think you are a bit unfair about Lana not being a good parent. Cheryl loved Lana and they did have a great relationship. Obviously, Lana didn't plan to marry horrible men. I mean who would? Maybe they just didn't really show their true selves until they are already married. It's right though. It was a different time.

Is her love affair with Ava Gardner mentioned in this video?

Praise God she converted to Catholicism! So have we ! Amen We love the SSPX Amen

Clark Gable was having an affair with Lana Turner while married to Carol Lombard. Carol was on a very successful national war bond tour that had raised millions. It ended in Las Vegas and she and her mother were boarding an overnight train for Los Angeles. Carol was anxious to get back to Clark because of rumors of his affair with a young starlet. She instead booked them on a flight leaving that night for LA. Tragicallly the plane crashed on a mountainside after taking off and killed everyone on boad. Clark ended the affair with Lana but never got over his grief and guilt over Carol's untimely death. She was a truly beloved star worldwide. They were very much in love and were planning on starting a family when she returned. The studio had to protect Lana and buried the affair. It would have destroyed her career. Clark was a notorious womanizer but always maintained these affairs meant nothing to him yet the one with Lana, according to friends, he deeply regretted.

A good show…….but Lana was a DREADFUL actress in almost every 'movie she made! And good Catholics DO NOT get married Seven times!

Never liked Lana, don't know why but she looks mean 😮
