Synopsis: From the Jacket: She was the Sweater Girl, provocatively sexy but with a small-town winsomeness-a combination that meant dynamite at the box office. She was the image of coolness and glamour, in diamonds and white fur, but she always drew the hottest, blackest headlines. Even before her teenage elopement with the mercurial Artie Shaw, her private life was considered public property. Now, at last, in this long awaited autobiography, Lana Turner separates fact from gossip-sparing no one, least of all herself-to reveal the sometimes humorous, often heartbreaking reality of the life behind the legend.

With the face of an angel and the body of an alluring woman, Lana Turner was one of the greatest natural beauties in screen history-and a hardworking actress as well. From her first small part out the other way around. Trouble came early and often involved a man, some notable, like her beloved Tyrone Power, and one notorious, John Stompanato, when trouble would turn to tragedy. There would be a bout with alcohol and depression, but with humor and spunk she would fight back to become the "new woman" she is today-"more disciplined, less gullible and persuadable . . . taking responsibility for my life."

Told with relentless honesty by the woman who lived it, here is the explosive and touching story of the very real human being behind the myth-from the innocent fifteen-year-old who was discovered at a Hollywood soda fountain to the Dream Factory's most glamorous, most provocative star.
