Page "Lana Turner" Paragraph 10

Mayer turned her into a glamorous star, mostly popular among college boys, and gave her the leads in several teen-oriented films in the late 1930s and early 1940s, such as Dramatic School ( 1938 ), These Glamour Girls ( 1939 ) and Dancing Co-Ed ( 1939 ).

In early 1940, she was also set to star in a remake of Our Dancing Daughters, but the film was never made.

From the beginning of her career, Turner stood her ground on her beliefs and was one of the few actresses at MGM to go against Mayer's wishes.
