Her image was undeniably one of glamour, satin, furs, and diamonds, but it was sitting on a drugstore stool. She was the perfumed boudoir, but also the ice cream parlor. She was glamorous, but also girlish. When she first started in films, she was more of a little girl than Shirley Temple ever was, because her performances were less calculating. When she came into the studio system, she was like a kid who went to the party where they ran out of cake and ice cream before they got to her. She started looking for her own share, with an appetite that wasn’t going to settle for a little of anything. - Jeanine Basinger on Lana Turner, The Star Machine
