He grew up poor and suffered the death of his father

In Hollywood in the last century, Lana was known as the "queen of conversation", with a lot of scandals and gossip, but also a glamorous career as a movie star. Anyone who knows her knows that she is a well-known figure with a conflicted life. According to the data, she was born in the early 1920s of the last century, from a very poor family. Her father is an ordinary miner and her mother works in a beauty salon.

Although the life is very miserable, but the family is also very happy, but her father has a big vice, is gambling. One day when Lana was eight years old, her father, who had won a large sum of money in a casino and was very happy about it, was killed on his way home, along with a large sum of money. His father's death was a big blow to the family, which was not rich. To support Lana, her mother works a few hours a day. As time goes by, Lana gradually grows into a beautiful young girl.

She moved to Los Angeles with her mother and enrolled in a high school. One day, a man came up to her and asked if he had any interest in making movies. Lana was so intrigued by the idea that she was recommended to a local acting company. With her beautiful face and sculpted figure, she soon got an acting gig. Her first film was called Never Forget, in which she played a high school girl.

She started acting in high school and became an instant hit with her debut film

I have to say, beautiful women will be the center of attention everywhere. Despite her limited role in Virgo, she still attracted a lot of attention, as many viewers marveled at Lana's beauty and praised her performance as "amazing". In less than a year, she has become a high-profile movie star. In the meantime, her life has been turned upside down. From a poor girl, grow into a famous movie star, the biggest change is more and more money, a lot of men flocked to her side.

Her first boyfriend was a prominent Los Angeles lawyer named Bozer, who was handsome and wealthy. Lana fell in love with this man at first sight, because there is no love experience, she almost wholeheartedly into the relationship. But what she didn't expect was that this man, ten years older than her, turned out to be a playboy. Lana was so angry at the news that she agreed to marry another suitor for the first time.

As it turns out, impulsive decisions are often irrational and counterproductive, and the couple's marriage ended in failure after just seven months. She had learned little from her unhappy marriage. In the decades that followed, she married seven more times, the longest of which lasted only four years. Her list of ex-husbands grew to include actors, businessmen, lawyers and even con men.

Lana's marriage history has made her the butt of jokes in Hollywood, with people mocking her for not knowing what marriage is. Lana divorced her last husband in 1972, when she was 60. In addition to her many ex-husbands, she had a number of boyfriends outside of her marriage, including many famous movie stars and political figures. Two U.S. presidents, Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy, for example, had affairs with her.

She's had 83 boyfriends in her life, not to mention a contentious relationship with her daughter

According to later statistics, she had a total of 83 boyfriends throughout her life, many of which ended up in vain. To these men, Lana had a certain level of appeal, not only because of her body and good looks, but also because she was synonymous with sex appeal in Hollywood at the time. When the American media once selected the three sexiest girls in American movies, Lana was selected with a high vote.

Although she is very popular in Hollywood, she is very immature in dealing with family life. For example, in the process of getting along with her only daughter Sheryl, because of her various problems, the relationship between mother and daughter gradually deteriorated. According to media reports at the time, Lana's fourth husband, a Hollywood star, had tried to molest her daughter. After learning of the incident, Lana pointed a gun at her husband and told him to leave the family.

But he turned around and accused his daughter Sheryl of seducing his stepfather. Sherrill was so angry at his mother's criticism that he ran away from home. It was only in her later years that her own daughter chose to forgive her. Starting in her teens, Lana worked in the industry for more than 40 years and made dozens of films during her lifetime. Among them are classics such as "Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain" and "Warm and Cold World".

She was undoubtedly one of the brightest stars of the glitzy Hollywood era. So, in such an environment, Lana also inevitably began to drink, to pursue the highest enjoyment of personal life. Even as late as the 1960s, she was still active in the film industry, receiving a lifetime achievement award from the film industry. She died of cancer in the mid - '90s at the age of 74, ending a brilliant, brilliant and controversial life.

Summary: Throughout Lana's life, she has been living in poverty since childhood and even suffered the shock of her father's death. In a stroke of fate, she made it to Hollywood and eventually became one of the most famous movie stars of her time. It's hard to generalize her life is good or bad, after all, it's all her own choice. With all that said, what other stories do you know about Hollywood actresses?
