have love; this is the crying need of her existence — and in Turhan Bey she thought she might find it. But here again, the romance faded into nothingness.
“I don’t know what happened,” Lana said at the time. “I don’t know whether I did something or someone told him something or what. He said he would call me and he never called and I never heard from him again.”
Apparently, Greg Bautzer had bowed out on Lana previously, and the beauty couldn’t understand what there was about her which attracted men but only kept them attracted a short while.
“It’s so bad for me,” she said, “with Cheryl growing up, to have everyone think I don’t know my own mind. I knew my mind for a long time about Turhan. Because of my little girl, I don’t want it said that I turn lightly and frivolously from one man to another.”
When Lana turned to Tyrone Power, there was nothing light or frivolous about it. Lana was in love with the man, and he with her, but again, only for a time. Linda Christian captured his true af¬ fection, and Lana met millionaire Bob Topping.
Topping fell for Lana in a hurry. It cost him a pretty penny, but he got a divorce from Arline Judge and married Lana as quickly as he could.
This time, Lana insisted on a formal wedding; no hasty Las Vegas elopement. She had flowers, bridesmaids, the whole works. She honeymooned in Europe, found herself with child, and then un¬ fortunately lost the baby before it was bom.
After this shock, Lana went down to Florida and aboard the Snuffie, the Top¬ ping boat, cruised the Florida waters, gradually regaining her health.
Lana has been back in Hollywood for six months now, and by the time you read this, she should be starring in “A Life of Her Own,” or “The Reformer and the Redhead.”
There are many cynics who will tell you that Lana’s marriage to Bob Top¬ ping is fated to go on the rocks. This is Lana’s third marital attempt and Bob's fourth.
Undoubtedly, you have heard many stories of their frequent nightclub bick¬ erings. These, in part, may be due to the fact that both Lana and Bob are restless and need activity. As soon as they get it, these bickerings will probably cease.
At the moment, however, Lana, more than anything else, wants to make her marriage a success. Topping, reportedly, is not the easiest man in the world to live with. (What millionaire is?) Lana, however, is going all out in her every effort to please him. He is an intelligent, discerning, worldly man, and such men usually take a lot of pleasing.
In the years gone by, it’s been fashion¬ able to condemn Lana as an impetuous, fun -loving girl out on a perennial fling.
That has never been the truth. The true story of Lana Turner is the story of one woman’s search for love, a love denied her in her youth, a love un¬ reciprocated in her teens, a love without which her life becomes a mockery and her existence a hollow shell.
We hope with all our heart that Lana has found it at last!

Christmas Greetings
from
Roy Rogers
To all my friends this is more than a heartfelt Christ¬ mas Greeting. It is my prayer for the world.
At year's end I count my blessings, and find enough to share with everyone. They are the blessings of America, where men can live in peace: where a bootblack can be¬ come a banker, and a farm-boy like me, a movie star.
The news from the rest of the world makes me want to remind us all again of the Golden Rule. With continued faith in God and our country we may yet make the whole world a place of peace.
Until we meet again, may the Good Lord take a liking to you, and may you earn, and keep His love.
Roy Rogers.
