I can't imagine Lana together with Mickey Rooney. That would have been a mismatch.

That year, the one chosen to receive the Donostia award was the American actress Lana Turner, who was already suffering from terminal cancer. As Rooney had stated in her recent biography, both had a passionate youthful love story and a daughter, something that the interpreter of The Postman Always Calls Twice she had flatly denied.
Knowing that they could coincide in Donostia, she demanded not to meet him and at the Festival they tried to mislead him by taking him to eat paella at a restaurant on the coast. But as soon as "the fox smelled the prey" and learned of Lana's imminent arrival, he returned to force a joint photo to encourage the sale of her memoir. Galán and his team considered the possibility of putting a laxative in his tea, but finally they decided to feed his ego by offering him an interview with a Russian television that kept him busy for a long time: while he pondered his wonderful cowboy movie, the happy actress posed for the photographers.
A journalist later asked her about her alleged affair with the actor and she responded by violently spitting on the table: "He's a cretin. I'm still a romantic, but I've been married seven times and that's enough. Now I prefer to think about other things." After receiving the Donostia Award, a bouquet of flowers from Rooney awaited him in her room. "In the trash, immediately throw it in the trash!" They say she ordered the housekeeper from her.

Oh my Lana and Mickey. The poor chap must have used a ladder, in their intimacy.

The problem is not that Lana had an affair with him. He told that she got pregnant and had had a daughter who they said was up for adoption.
The problem is not that Lana had an affair with him. He said that she got pregnant and had a daughter that he said was up for adoption.At one point in the '80s, Rooney claimed they had an affair when they were young, and I think he says as much in his memoir. Turner's publicist made a tersely-worded denial -- Lana was either embarrassed because it was a lie ... or because it may have been the truth.
It's hard to believe anything Mickey Rooney says. But then he's not the one with a murder scandal under his belt -- which all true divas need.
Wow, Jaquelinne and Lana had something in common

i have his bio i do not remember him saying they had a daughter at all,i think i was wait a minute when i wrote that i think i was thinking about Ava Gardner With Lana Turner i think he said he did end up knocking her up but once she had to get an abortion he said nothing about them having a kid cause he if i recall said that once that did happen her parents had to get involved to help her get an abortion since well it was illegal back than and after that they broke up i think because of that i got the impression. he's been married so many times that i sometimes can't remember who he was all married to! not all of them worked in hollywood

Ronney's biography has not been translated into Spanish but Ava Gardner's autograph has and it does not talk about any Mickey abortion
If she says that married to Frank Sinatra she got pregnant. Since she wanted to have an abortion while filming Mogambo in Africa, Metro arranged for her to do it discreetly at a London clinic.
The Metro was a specialist in these issues. They convinced Judy Garland, married to director Vincent, to have an abortion because at that time a pregnancy was not convenient at that time
If Lana had stayed with Mickey, the great star of Metro, then they would have taken care of the abortion.
And not her parents, besides, Lana's father died when she was eight years old and her mother was a modest worker.

i do not remember what i had read as it's been a number of years since i last read the book. i got the impression if my memory is right that she had stage parents or a stage mom like Judy did. but i'd have to go and find my book and look it up and at the moment that requires movement
