"The thing about happiness is that it doesn't help
you to grow; only unhappiness does that. So I'm grateful
that my bed of roses was made up equally of blossoms and
thorns. I've had a privileged, creative, exciting life,
and I think that the parts that were less joyous were
preparing me, testing me, strengthening me." - Lana
Turner, Lana,
The Lady, The Legend, The Truth
Lana Turner was no stranger to outstanding hardship. She
was born Julia Jean Mildred Frances Turner on February 8,
1921 to John and Mildred Turner in Wallace, Idaho. Lana's

died in childbirth due to Rh factor complications - and
there was a possibility the condition had been passed

This new edition of a classic 1987 volume,
long out of print, includes 28 previously unseen photographs
not included in the first edition. While many photographers
captured Monroe's obvious sexuality,
Arnold, the only woman to have photographed
her extensively, captured some of the most tender images
ever seen of the Hollywood starlet. This chronicles six
photo sessions that took place over the course of their
10-year friendship, and includes almost 100 images, many
taken on the set of The Misfits, her last film.

Showcases a scintillating era in film history--pre-code
Hollywood. Before the advent of the Hays
Office--charged with establishing and enforcing standards
for screen behavior--movies were gritty and realistic,
full of gangsters, gold diggers, drugs, adultery, perversion,
white slavery, racial mingling, suggestive dancing and
women of easy virtue.
This work, generously illustrated with
275 film stills--many of them rare--captures the stunning
artistry and bravura of the era's controversial films.
Here are Joan Crawford, Clara Bow
and Marlene Dietrich portraying powerful women of questionable
character.

chronologically, and a short excerpt from the original
script is included with each.
The artist collected all her films and

From Catalonia, he is one of the foremost collectors of
her material in the world. In 1992 he published a major
bibliography.
