If you’re looking for a real page-turner for the beach this summer, this news is for you. Danforth Prince H’75 and his company, Blood Moon Productions, have just released another Hollywood tell-all blockbuster. Danforth tells us that “Lana Turner: Hearts and Diamonds Take All” is “history's most comprehensive overview of the queen of MGM, Lana Turner, Celluloid Venus and Sex Goddess to the G.I.'s who won World War II.” Timed to mark the 20th anniversary of her death, the book is available online and in book stores.

Here's how Danforth introduces his newest Hollywood sensation:
"There's a mad rumor circulating that I've fallen madly in love with LANA TURNER, the film star whose scandal-soaked life has never been comprehensively documented. UNTIL NOW, with the release, on April 1st, of a 622-page biography that documents the over-the-top raucousness of her tabloid-fueled life. THIS IS STUFF THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE TAUGHT AT HAMILTON, but fans of Golden-age cinema, we think, are eager for more.
"LANA TURNER! She's hot. She's beautiful. She's an A-list movie icon. And SHE'S BACK, at least in book form. Danforth's company (he's founder and president), Blood Moon Productions, an expert on Hollywood secrets, announces the availability, everywhere, in April, of history's most comprehensive overview of THE QUEEN OF MGM, LANA TURNER, Celluloid Venus and Sex Goddess to the G.I.'s who won World War II. It's new, it's hot, and it's proof that this Hamilton grad is, as rumors claim, madly in love with LANA TURNER."
