Murder, She Wrote

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. It was simply impossible to deal with Mr. Preminger's unpredictable temper." -- Lana Turner, March 3, 1959

"Everybody's agent (from Gina Lollobrigida's to Susan Hayward's to Tina Louise's) has asked for the Lana Turner-vacated role in Anatomy of a Murder..." -- Earl Wilson's column, March 10, 1959

Gina Lollobrigida in Where the Hot Wind Blows (MGM, 1960)

Susan Hayward in I Want to Live! (MGM, 1958)

Tina Louise in God's Little Acre (United Artists, 1958)

Lee Remick in Anatomy of a Murder (Columbia, 1959)

“Nobody is going to yell at me like that…Otto called and immediately started to abuse me. He yelled, ‘I’ll show you that this isn’t Universal or MGM! You’ll do and wear exactly as I say!’…I’m not going to take that kind of shouting from anybody. Thank God, I’m not that hungry.” -- Lana Turner, March 14, 1959

"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

That Continental Touch

"I don't care what she does in her private life, but she shouldn't ridicule marriage and decency in public." -- Corinne Calvet on Zsa Zsa Gabor
