She was America's "Sweater Girl" -- a dazzling beauty with one of the most provocative bodies in Hollywood. Lana Turner lived a private life as exciting and sexually charged as her public image. Now, meet the real Lana Turner behind the glittering legend and shocking rumors...

The seven men she married. The lovers she adored. The sexual escapades and earthy wisecracks that rocked all of Hollywood. None of it compared to the ultimate scandal of her career: her affair with small-time racketeer Johnny Stompanato, whose fatal stabbing put Lana's daughter in the nation's headlines...and in police custody. Here is a boldly candid story you will never forget.
