Old School Minx- Lana Turner
"Birth Name: Julia Jean TurnerBorn on Feb. 8, 1920 in Wallace, Idaho, US

This Hollywood glamour queen was dubbed "Sweater Girl" and became one of the most popular pinups among U.S. servicemen in World War II.
Her screen roles often mirrored her tumultuous private life, which was headlined by eight marriages and the sensational 1958 stabbing death of her gangster boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato, by her 14-year-old daughter.
As legend has it, the golden-haired starlet was in high school when she was "discovered" at a soda fountain by a Hollywood film journalist." [Via cmgworldwide.com]
