Turner's loyalty to MGM was rewarded, as she received increasingly important roles in the early 1940s. Her social life was ... very active. She was reported to have dated such notable figures as actors Clark Gable and Robert Stack, bandleader Tommy Dorsey, and movie producer, aviation pioneer, and oilman Howard Hughes. Despite having had these highly publicized relationships, Turner's second marriage was to the relatively unknown Stephen Crane, a restaurateur from Indiana. Once again Turner became pregnant, only to discover that Crane was still legally married to his first wife. She was inclined to leave Crane, but at the studio's insistence, and after suicide attempts by Crane, she agreed to marry him again after his divorce was finalized in 1943.

Lana Turner In 1981, Turner reconciled with her daughter Cheryl, who overcame continuing emotional problems (including a 10-month stay in a mental hospital at age 17) to become a successful businesswoman. Turner lived quietly and stayed out of the public eye until 1992, when rumors began to spread that the actress, a longtime heavy smoker, was undergoing treatment for throat cancer. On June 29, at age 75, Turner died at her home in Century City, Los Angeles, with her daughter at her side.
