On 29 September 1981, Peter Turner received a phone call that would
change his life. His former lover, Hollywood actress Gloria
Grahame, had collapsed in a Lancaster hotel and was refusing
medical attention. He had no choice but to take her into his
chaotic and often eccentric family's home in Liverpool. Liverpool
born and bred, Turner had first set eyes on Grahame when he was a
young actor, living in London. Best known for her portrayal of
irresistible femme fatales in films such as The Big Heat, Oklahoma
and The Bad and the Beautiful, for which she won an Oscar, Grahame
electrified audiences with her steely expressions and heavy lidded
eyes and the heroines she bought to life were often dark and
dangerous. Turner and Grahame became firm friends and remained so
ever after their love affair had ended. And it was to him she
turned in her final hour of need. Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
is an affectionate, moving and wryly humorous memoir of friendship,
love and stardom.
