| Lana Turner at the coroner's inquest into the death of Johnny Stompanato, April 11, 1958 "After an argument, her agent notified me that she was withdrawing from [Anatomy of a Murder]. I can't see why there should be any argument over what an army officer's wife would wear. I'll get an unknown, and make her a new Lana Turner!" -- Otto Preminger, March 3, 1959 |

| Lee Remick in Anatomy of a Murder (Columbia, 1959) "I would not walk out of a picture for anything as trivial as a costume.

"Last month, Lana had a tiff with Otto Preminger over costumes for Anatomy of a Murder, and walked out of the movie. A lot of folks said about her replacement, 'Who's Lee Remick?'" -- Bob Thomas' column, April 17, 1959
"I'm simply not the glamour girl type. I would be uncomfortable trying to fit into a studio's conception of what a movie star is supposed to be...I suppose it was different years ago, when studios took people with no experience and made them into screen personalities." -- Lee Remick to Bob Thomas, April 17, 1959
"I thank God neither I nor any of my family will ever be so hard up as to have to work for Otto Preminger." -- Lana Turner
