Lana Turner born February 8, 1921 in Wallace, Idaho

🎞 American actress with a career spanning nearly five decades. She achieved fame as both a pin-up model and a film actress, as well as for her highly publicized personal life.

In the mid-1940s, she was one of the highest-paid American actresses, and one of MGM's biggest stars, with her films earning approximately one billion dollars in 2024 currency for the studio during her 18-year contract with them.

Lana's career-defining role was as the femme fatale Cora Smith in The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), which established her as a serious dramatic actress. Other major hits included her Oscar-nominated performance in Peyton Place (1957) and the massive commercial success Imitation of Life (1959). 

Turner is frequently cited as a popular culture icon due to her glamorous persona, and a screen legend of the Golden Age of Hollywood. (d. 1992)
