Columnist, George Sokolsky wrote in the New York Journal-American:
"Cheryl Crane, the little girl of too many fathers, is a sad girl who could have had everything but who had nothing. A girl who spent her childhood and girlhood watching a procession of lovers and husbands wander in and out of her mother's bedroom and to whom the sight of her mother being physically abused by men became an everyday occurrence. She is a girl who learned about life, long before she understood what she was learning."
* * * *Her story, twined around that of her mother and father, certainly illustrates the important impact of a childhood environment. What happens to us at this point of our development will effect later years and even our sexuality. Sometimes parents can offer wonderful shelter, love and caring, while others have been accused of child abuse, which certainly damaged their children's adult years. The list is long with famous names. Marilyn Monroe was a victim of childhood rape, which had a distorting influence over her adult years. Judy Garland was dominated by a studio head who fed her pills in order to keep her functioning during tight schedules of filmmaking. Rumors that many child actors and stars were victims of dominating parents, even sexually abused by them, are common media fodder. Joan Crawford's daughter claimed that the famous actress was a brutal child-beater and a somewhat horrid mother. Nobody is without sin; nobody goes through childhood without some nasty business to twist and pervert their later years. Even today, with super stars such as Michael Jackson, we hear rumors and stories about childhood abuse that may or may not be true. We aren't interested in the truth of such rumors so much as the fact that some events reported in the media illustrate the public's feelings, bias, and sense of right and wrong. And, of course, many of these stories contain enough truth for readers to take them seriously. As a prime example of how early childhood experiences can be responsible for later tragic events, the story of Lana Turner and her daughter, Cheryl Crane, is bluntly illustrative. Nobody can know the truth other than the survivors. And they, generally, will be reluctant to expose the totality of their experience. And, even truth is sometimes tainted by bias.
