LANA TURNER (1945) MGM portrait

[Los Angeles: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1945]. Vintage original 7 1/4 x 9″ (18 x 22 cm.) borderless black-and-white double weight glossy silver gelatin still photo, fine.

Stunning classic and sexy portrait image of a platinum blonde Lana Turner to publicize her now iconic role in THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1946). Perhaps her finest work from the 1940s, writer James M. Cain told Lana that she was perfect in the role of Cora in this noir-influenced adaptation of his crime novel.
