But when the famous femme fatale began dating mobster Johnny Stompanato, thug for the infamous west coast mob boss Mickey Cohen, her personal life became violent and unpredictable. Lana's teenage daughter, Cheryl, watched her beloved mother's life deteriorate as Stompanato's intense jealousy took over. Eventually, the physical and emotional abuse became too much to bear, and Lana attempted to break it off with Johnny--with disastrous consequences. The details of what happened that fateful night remain foggy, but it ended in a series of frantic phone calls and Stompanato dead on Lana's bedroom floor, with Cheryl claiming to have plunged a knife into his abdomen in an attempt to protect her mother. The subsequent murder trial made for the biggest headlines of the year, its drama eclipsing every Hollywood movie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author Casey Sherman pulls back Tinseltown's velvet curtain to reveal the dark underbelly of celebrity, rife with toxic masculinity and casual violence against women, and tells the story of Lana Turner and her daughter, who finally stood up to the abuse that plagued their family for years. \u003cem\u003eA Murder in Hollywood\u003c\/em\u003e transports us back to the golden age of film and illuminates one of the 20th century's most notorious true crime tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Casey Sherman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464221987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464221989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sourcebooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.76d","brand":"Casey Sherman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790090989823,"sku":"9781464221989","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e748c10b-d46e-4f98-83da-f936dda0cfe1.jpg?v=1707287931","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-murder-in-hollywood-casey-sherman-9781464221989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
