Lana Turner had the BIGGEST scandal in Hollywood history..

[on Hollywood] “It was all beauty and it was all talent, and if you had it they protected you.” -Lana T… watch “Bette Davis a witch who cast spells on costars & her own daughter?” https://youtu.be/bF_IWrh2iVM

You can be perfectly obsessed with getting your parent's love and attention WITHOUT having romantic feelings. Especially when they were lacking in affection

Just because Sheryl longed for her mother's attention that doesn't imply she had any inappropriate feelings for her own mom! What a crazy hypothesis. Truly a very sad story too.

Such a sad world to accuse her daughter of inappropriately having a crush on her mom. The daughter missed and loved her mom - totally normal.

She wasn’t in love with her mother like that, more like overprotective of her. Her daughter knew something wasn’t right about her mother, multiple men and multiple marriages. And I sense a great deal more happened to her by the hands of those men. Being a victim of that type of abuse, there’s only so much one actually tells because a lot of it is painful. 😊

Her poor daughter - she was so abused and neglected.

She strikes me as the type of woman who doesn't know how to be alone with herself and needs to fill the void with men. The good, the bad and the unfaithful as long as she has a man. She definitely sounds like the type of woman would put a man above her child.

Smelling your moms clothes is not weird if you’re a child starving for attention. She might have married a woman because she watched her mom be in so many terrible relationships with men.

She wasn’t In love with her mother. She was a child that naturally wanted her mom’s love but her mother kept pushing her away because she didn’t want her daughter to touch her hair or makeup but at the same time allowed all those men in. Poor kid.

I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry for Lana. Her daughter obviously was traumatized and neglected growing up with such an unstable woman. Especially one as selfish as Her. She shouldn't of had a kid if all she ever did was night club and bar hop!

The fact that they claimed that Cheryl was in love with her mother Lana is so absurd to me! Like every newborn would know the warmth and scent of their mother from being held it’s only natural she would do what she did. It’s not weird it’s just natural to want to surround yourself with things that make you feel safe and sound when surrounded by these strange men. Hell I even know how my grandmas and moms hands and sometimes even their presence even blind folded. But I also know some friends who just could not relate to it (sometimes cuz of the upbringing and sometimes cuz of the emotional distance). I also know some that relate to this kind of bond.

I feel fortunate to have had an affectionate mom growing up when I hear these horror stories of moms being cold. It makes me sad and angry really, but grateful for mine at the same time.

"I'm not gonna blame her for anything. . . she could've been protected a little bit more." Really, you think? This woman allowed strange many strange men around her daughter who had their way with her. That's horrific. There's no beauty that can wash away the terror she inflicted upon her child. This woman should not be celebrated. My God, what is wrong with you?

Loved Lana Turner as the beautiful and talented Actress. 💚 💗 Favorite movie, "Imitation of Life." So sorry her daughter Sheryl couldn't get the love & affection from her Mom that she so deserved as a child, neither in life OR death. The least Lana could have done was leave her ALL the money to help her daughter with counseling and to ease her pain.😢

I don’t believe she was “in love” with her mother at all. She wanted more affection, which is normal for a child. She admired her mother, which is partially why she went into modeling. Also, the abuse from men early on could have DEFINITELY influenced her distrust. I agree with your read. Very tragic but seems she found love and stability. Thank you.

Her daughter loved her. I don't think she was was in love with her. When children aren't allowed closeness with a parent, some of them are in awe of, or kind of in awe of, the parent and try to feel close in other ways. It's not surprising her daughter might have sniffed her clothing on which there probably would've been the aroma of any perfume she wore.

💛💖 (Yellow heart and a pink heart with some extra glamorous sparkle ✨ for Lana) She's probably one of my favourite actresses from that era. I just love Lana's style. Have you featured Jayne Mansfield on your YouTube channel yet? I'd love to see you do a deep dive into her career and life.

I LOVED her and her outfits in Immitation of Life❤

How many beautiful talented people who are beloved by millions yet bear the scars of childhood trauma and deep unhappiness. May Lana Turner RIP.

Poor girl was so starved of her mother’s love and attention. When I was a kid my mom had to go away with work a couple of times. I remember missing her so much that I would sleep with her shirt next to me because it would smell like her. Never thought that was weird. Kids are drawn to their mother’s smell.
