Detour: A Hollywood Story door Cheryl Crane

PaulaGalvan | 3 andere besprekingen | Aug 28, 2023 | Another example of the rich and miserable. Although the story is captivating, I felt like Ms. Crane stopped just short of honesty. The book is fascinating, however I would have enjoyed a bit less self pity from one who led a very priviledged life.

Rob.Larson | 3 andere besprekingen | Aug 5, 2011 | Cheryl Crane, the only child of actress, Lana Turner, grew up without her parents really taking a true interest in her for their own careers always came first. If they could pawn her off to some private school or to some nanny or relative, they were satisfied. Crane became infamous for killing her Mother's lover, Johnny Stampanato. Because she was protecting her Mother from an assault, she was found not guilty of murder but because of her parents' poor parenting practices, she was put under the protection of the courts. A misspent youth included drugs, runaways, and detention kept her name in the press. Only after realizing she was gay and finding an understanding life partner did her life turn around. This autobiography leaves one wondering how much of this story is true and how much is self serving. The gossip about the many celebrates she knew growing up is fun to read. She went to school with several actors' children including Christine Crawford another Hollywood child who suffered crude parenting practices and wrote her own book about it.
