Lana Turner grown up

I always thought that Lana Turner was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen (along with Pattie Bess Lummus)!

I also loved her name. So when I got pregnant I said right away that if I had a girl I would name her Lana something. I decided on the Kay part later but it definitely was going to be Lana.

In her later years someone started calling her (my Lana) Lana with short A accent (sounding like Lonna). She liked that and so she mainly goes by that name now. Most people call her Lonna. Whatever she goes by now her name is Lana like in banana. She can't change that! I still use her whole name when I talk to or about her--Lana Kay. Carla, Brett and Amy call her just "Kay" all of the time. I guess plain Lana was not good enough for her, she wanted to be fancier!

Lana Turner has not been the perfect role model but I still think she, and her name, are beautiful.
