154: Lana Turner and the Mobster Moidah

Happy Monday Cult Babes! This week we’re headed to the golden age of Hollywood to discuss the moidah of ex-mobster turned dirtbag boyfriend Johnny Stompanato. We’re first going to deep-dive into the life and times of iconic actress Lana Turner because boy does she have a story, 7 marriages, humble beginnings, and a skyrocket to stardom. She was just 15 years old when she was discovered and went on to become MGM’s bread and butter earning the studio $5O+ million throughout her time with them.
