[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 393494, member: 57984"] Yeah, Turner's perfectly acceptable in THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL -- a goodish actress in a good film. But Basinger's praise is a little overstated. We all know Elizabeth Taylor's acting liabilities -- so did she, well-aware of the "fishwife" thing. But as much as I like Lana Turner (fortunately, we stopped dating before she took her trip to the cutlery shoppe) and find her competently adequate in numerous roles, I think Taylor could go deeper when called upon to do so. Hell, even the film Taylor most hated, and for which she received her first Oscar (which she felt she didn't deserve), BUTTERFIELD 8, she was terrific in -- and Turner couldn't quite have done what Taylor did with that trashy role. Nor could Turner have done the other things Taylor did which worked. [/QUOTE]
