About this product
Product Information
On 29 September 1981, Peter Turner received a phone call that would change his life. His former lover, Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, had collapsed in a Lancaster hotel and was refusing medical attention. He had no choice but to take her into his chaotic and often eccentric family's home in Liverpool. Liverpool born and bred, Turner had first set eyes on Grahame when he was a young actor, living in London. Best known for her portrayal of irresistible femme fatales in films such as The Big Heat, Oklahoma and The Bad and the Beautiful, for which she won an Oscar, Grahame electrified audiences with her steely expressions and heavy lidded eyes and the heroines she bought to life were often dark and dangerous. Turner and Grahame became firm friends and remained so ever after their love affair had ended. And it was to him she turned in her final hour of need. Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is an affectionate, moving and wryly humorous memoir of friendship, love and stardom.Product Identifiers

To Be Totally Loved
This has to be one of the loveliest love stories I’ve read. Warm, heartfelt and so enjoyable. Gloria obviously had her troubles but the way her partner and his family rallied to care for her was lovely. I shed a wee tear in parts but so glad I read it. Can’t wait to get it on dvd now. A beautiful story about true love which I for one loved from start to finish!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
