She isn't forgotten but Robert Taylor and Susan Hayward, and yes no joke, Sandra Dee, deserve more credit for being the huge stars that they were. I am glad people are finally recognizing Kim Novak. She was an enormously big star. Her movies were events.People don't know old time movies, when they mention someone like Jayne Mansfield in the same breath as Marilyn. Jayne was in B movies, prediominantly ,after 4 big ones. She was not a great star on the screen just a media star and a star amongst the public. She knew how to work it. When she appeared topless in a really bad B movie in 1963, it was a great move. It got her on the list of top box office stars for that year, which was amazing.

Technicolor never had it so good. Who could look at anyone else when she’s on the screen?

What a fantastic interview! Robert Osborne, looking dapper, in his youth! Lana Turner, was an iconic actress; who put her all, in her acting! Those glamorous days are long gone; but we still can relay on Classic Films and KZread, to remind us of her wonderful films! Lana, looked beautiful and was well spoken, as always! She is missed! 🎬👍

There is a newsreel of Lana on KZread of her and her husband Crane during WWII visting a GI base. It was shot in Black and white and Lana is without makeup. I've never seen a more luminous face.❤

Lana Turner and Robert Osborne were two consummate professionals, each in their respective genres. Too many people mistake being very beautiful, as was Lana, with not being able to be good at their career. On the contrary, Ms. Turner was an excellent actress, who mastered method, refinement of her acting skills, and invented a treatment and rationale for how she tackled every role. She seems to have practiced down to every grimace, word and look out of her eyes. She was quite good when she was young, but as she matured, she became even more feminine, beautiful, and excellent as an actress. She had a beauty and a way of acting all her on. She was inimitable. She still today, is one of the most researched actresses of all time. I shall always love her. There will never be anyone who looks like, act like her, nor perform like her, ever again in this lifetime.

I remember at 20 taking the Universal Studios tour & one of the features was Lana Turner's dressing room. It was large & beautiful, but I thought "why her dressing room?" I was too young to have known her career. Years later, I fell in love with TCM & dutifully watched & learned from Robert Osborne & others & I watched the catalog of Lana Turner films. Only then did I realize why we saw her dressing room on that tour. She was the biggest & most glamorous star of her era. They may have waited too long to recognize her with an Oscar nod & other actresses may have landed more prestige roles. But, Ms. Turner took the film's they gave her & made them better than they would have been without her & she did what studios wanted stars to do -- she put customers in theater seats. She exuded movie star glamour. She became a better actor with each film. The camera loved her at every age & stage of her career & she lived her life more like the actors of her day than the actresses. She did what she wanted to do, had romances with those whom she wanted to have romances & she lived on her terms -- but, she also showed up on set on time & prepared to give them Lana Turner, movie star. Stunningly beautiful, versatile, & always able to improve the material, she deserves to be remembered as the great box office star & great fan favorite that she always was & always will be. Watch a Lana Turner film & see for yourself what I mean. But, forget me -- you know you can trust Robert Osborne, another legend!

Beautiful, classy ,smart funny. love her ,the intervieuwer is such a lovely respectfull gentleman

I saw an interview where Lana said Hedy Lamarr was the most beautiful actress she ever worked with...😍

Robert Osborne was a handsome guy

Lana Turner was an unrivaled powerhouse movie star. She was a great actress but her breathtaking beauty prevented people her from taking her as seriously as they should. Robert Osborne's question about survival in Hollywood was poignant because Lana is one of the few mega stars of her generation who not only survived but triumphed and stayed on top for decades, remaining a household name when her contemporaries had faded into novelties. As this interview shows, Lana's beauty never faded, nor did her intelligence and grace.

Thank you very much Alan Eichler for these wonderful interviews! I've never saw any of her televion appearences and I must say she seems a pretty charming woman. But after viewing them all one thing occured to me: with Lana it's not about the movies... it's all about her: her life, her past, her lovers, Stompanato and the life of the rich and the famous. I found rather strange that not even Osborne asked her about her wonderful movies such as Madame X and Imitation of Life to name just two... They just mentioned them in a hurry but not in-depth conversations about her directors, the actors and so on... She wasn't perceived as a real actress I guess!

She never really talks about her characters, how she developed them and what her thoughts about the directors were. In the book "Born to be hurt: The untold story of Imitation of life" there's a very interesting chapter about Lana during the time when her autobiography came out. Of course there was a ghostwriter (a woman which remain unknow to this day) and she complained that it was very difficult to write the book because Lana recollections very primarly on her jewellery and her clothes... very few memories about her husbands or her movies. Anyway she still remain one of my favourite actresses from that era... Thanks a lot for the interviews!!
