While filming the romantic comedy The Lady Takes a Flyer in the spring of 1957, American film actress Lana Turner began receiving phone calls and flowers on the set from mobster and ex-Marine Johnny Stompanato, using the name "John Steele." Turner claimed she was unsure of how Stompanato obtained her phone number, but that she learned in later pres...
At approximately 8:00 p.m. on April 4, eight days after the Academy Awards ceremony, Stompanato arrived at Turner's rented home at 730 North Bedford Drive in Beverly Hills, California, which she had just begun leasing a week prior. The two began arguing heatedly in the bedroom, during which Stompanato threatened to kill Turner, her daughter and her...
Police chief Clinton Anderson, who arrived at Turner's home shortly after emergency medical services, stated that Turner had pleaded to him, "Please, let me say I did it," after Crane had confessed to the stabbing to her father, who had also arrived at the house. Within one hour of the homicide, Turner and her ex-husband had retained attorney Jerry...
Pre-detention hearing
On April 7, 1958, a juvenile pre-detention hearing was held under Judge Donald O'Dell, closed to the public, which was attended by Turner, her mother Mildred and ex-husband Stephen. The same day, Turner attempted to file an application for Crane's release into the custody of Mildred, Crane's grandmother.Turner's application was denied, however, as the judge felt that Crane would "be better protected by remaining in custody pending the hearing [for Stompanato's murder]." A follow-up juvenile d...
Coroner's inquest
Due to Turner's high profile and the fact that the killing involved her teenage daughter, the case quickly became a cause célèbre. Over one hundred reporters and journalists attended the April 11, 1958, coroner's inquest, described by attendees as "near-riotous". Cohen, Stompanato's friend and associate, was called as the first witness, but refused to provide testimony as he feared he might be implicated in the crime, and also refused to identify Stompanato's body in photographs. While Cohen...
Public response
Immediately following Crane's exoneration, her father Stephen told reporters of the Los Angeles Times that he planned to fight Turner for full custody of his daughter. Reporter Jack Jones wrote: "Although Jerry Giesler, Lana's attorney, reported that the actress herself will battle for custody of the couple's daughter... there seemed to be no ill feeling between Crane and his glamorous ex-wife." Though Turner and her daughter were cleared of any wrongdoing, public opinion on the trial was var...
Wrongful death lawsuit
Stompanato's brother Carmine, who attended the inquest, alleged afterward that he felt Turner "failed to tell the whole truth" and that law enforcement had "made up their mind right from the start that Johnny deserved to die." Stompanato's ex-wife, Sarah Ibrahaim, filed a wrongful death suit of $750,000 (equivalent to $7,600,000 in 2022) in damages against both Turner, Cheryl and Stephen on behalf of herself and then-7-year-old John Jr., her son with Stompanato. In the suit, it was implied th...
Legacy and conspiracy theories
Stompanato's homicide has had an enduring presence in true crime popular culture and mythology, and was named one of the "crimes of the century" by Time magazine in 2007. Film historian Sam Staggs noted that it "belongs in the same pantheon of foul deeds as the Fatty Arbuckle rape trial in 1921, the ambiguous death of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, and the O. J. Simpson caseof 1994–95." In the intervening years, Stompanato's homicide has been subject to an oft-repeated conspiracy theory that Turner...
A 1962 novel by Harold Robbins entitled Where Love Has Gone was inspired by Stompanato's death, followed by a 1964 film adaptation starring Susan Hayward and Bette Davis. In 1987, Woody Allen's movie, September, features a thinly-veiled reference to the death, in the relationship between daughter Mia Farrow and mother Elaine Stritch, with Allen ass...
