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. 'Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool' is an affectionate, moving and wryly humourous memoir of friendship, love, and stardom ER -
