TIDBITS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD

Lana, the story of the ravishing blonde actress who reigned as queen of MGM studio, is another reminder that fame, fortune, and beauty can't buy happiness. In fact, sadly for La Turner, sometimes it is just the opposite.

Jane Ellen Wayne, the author of bios of other screen luminaires packs her book with data, not much of which is new but its neatly compiled in these pages.

Cosseted and marketed by Louis B. Mayer, the dictator-paterfamilias of MGM, Lana, according to this author, was ill equipped to recognize reality. Celluloid was her milieu; that was where she worked and tried to live.

The history of her screen roles is well known to fans as well as the many romances with her leading men. Her personal life took a toll: murder, seven mis-marriages and seven wrenching divorces left her with little else but her reflection on the screen.

A derivative, cut-and-paste cheapie.

A definitive biography of Lana Turner has yet to be written. Wayne has read Turner's memoirs and those of her daughter Cheryl Crane and Turner's ex-secretary to produce this trifle. The book is not sourced, there is no original research, and the result is a rehash of old info. Wayne even relies on supermarket tabloids for details she includes about Turner's final illness. A few pages of grainy snapshots of Turner round out this meager effort. Save your money.
