When Vic Damone spotted Lana Turner in the audience during one of her trips to Las Vegas, he introduced her to the showgoers- who gave her a standing ovation. Damone then related how, in the 1940s, he was at the MGM lot and, seeing her walk across the street, became so taken with Lana's beauty that he drove his car into a wall. Taylor Pero, personal manager to Lana, was at that same event and summed up her "indisputable beauty" by saying: "If looks were benedictions, Lana would have been the most blessed creature on earth."

"Mother's newlywed character set fashion trends of the day. The standout was what Mother called her 'rumba dress,' worn for her first on-camera rumba. The black and white film didn't do justice to the striking satin panels of black and pink that matched the roses at the left side of the bodice." -Cheryl Crane

February 18, 1942: "Lana Turner Spurs Bond Sales! The lovely film star does a land office business for Defense, autographing every purchase . . . and for service men, a special dividend, a real Hollywood clinch!"
