Peter Turner chats about his love for Gloria Grahame in Film Stars don't die in Liverpool

[@JAWilsonwhitetidelinedesigns]

Brilliant performances in an astonishing and gorgeous story. Through Peter Turner, I learned about the wondrous and magnificent Gloria Grahame who I'd never heard of before. Many thanks!

[@intangiblelikecolours7200]

Annette Bennington should get an Oscar for her incredible performance. Thank you Peter for sharing.. Real love is rare❤️🌹

[@Field-Meerkat]

I think Jamie Bell was equally as good too

what a lovely tribute to gloria from peter,very nice,,," in a lonely place" is one of my favourite films despite being made 9 years before i was born.

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

What a lovely humble man. Fantastic interview Monica. You do ask some great questions. Creative people always look so relaxed around you when you interview them. Bravo. I want to see this film.

[@Kaytecando]

A beautiful love story and a great film.

lovely comment. thank you!

Top film really enjoyed it she was always great in her films

[@thejewel270658]

The most beautiful and moving film and story, outstanding performances from all.

[@londonmums]

I agree

[@waynej2608]

Yes, Annette Benning really nailed the Gloria Grahame role. Entire cast was impressive. Hadn't seen Julie Waters lately, she's always wonderful. I've been a Gloria G fan since I was a kid. She's among the best of all film noir actresses. Too bad she didn't have a more successful career, as she got older. Gloria was great looking and very sexy, too. That infamous pout, those big eyes...😍😍

[@marybarratt2649]

I always thought Gloria was a lovely and appealing person and I didn’t know much of her history until I saw the film. It was really emotional. She was ahead of her time I agree.

Beautiful movie, absolutely the last remnants of what true love was like. 😢

I have just seen the movie and absolutely loved it. It had a certain resonance with me. The acting was superb and now I will be reading the book. Thank you Peter.

[@londonmums]

I absolutely agree with you and I am also reading the memoirs. Brilliant! So simple yet so amazing. Real stories are so special. Peter is such a lovely person. Unlike some of the bullies in the film industry.

best film ive seen all year.

I I loved "Film Stars Don't Die I Liverpool"...just finished it

I have the actual film screening in a separate window on the computer and as I'm watching the above interview with Peter Turner, he also appears in the film in the cameo role of Jack, the stagehand at the one-hour-twenty-five-minute mark. What a coincidence.

[@styxcreek]

Seems like a good guy. Currently reading the book - very moving - can't wait to see the film

[@londonmums]

beautiful book, beautiful love story and great guy!

[@siobhancosgrove4145]

The film is FANTASTIC but! VERY sad. out now on dvd through Amazon

[@dotnb]

Did the Romeo and Juliet reading on Gloria's bucket list actually happen? If it did, Peter u da boss! I cried buckets as I watched it!

[@londonmums]

me too it's a lovely film

Good man.Gloria was a great woman and actress.RIP

[@waynej2608]

@@samuelparker9882 Bullshit. That was an allegation by Nicholas Ray. Ray, while a great director, was an alcoholic/drug abuser and a notorious womanizer. He seduced a very young, 16 yr old Natalie Wood in 1955. I wouldn't believe a damned thing Nicky boy said. Gloria and those around at the time all indicate that the guy in question was a grown man, when they got romantic. Also of note on this, Gloria and Ray's son, from another marraige, Anthony, remained married for 14 yrs. Ten more than her marriage with Nick lasted. I suggest you delve into this a bit further, before you judge and get nasty about a woman like her. Jackass.

[@wk1810]

@@waynej2608 actually, the marriage lasted 14 years in name only. They had separated years prior but had only filed for divorce years later.

[@JWatsL]

@@waynej2608 Tony Ray admitted the affair with Gloria (when he was 13 years old) to Dennis Hopper who confirms it. Anthony Ray (son of Nicholas Ray) also admitted the affair to his son, James Ray. Gloria Grahame married Tony Ray in May of 1960, when he was 22. They went on to have two sons, Tony Ray Jr in 1963 and James Ray in 1965

[@danndulin5306]

Good interview! I want to see pics of Peter and Gloria when they were dating. Where can I find them??

[@londonmums]

I'll check if I can find them in the memoirs and will let you know

[@flitebiscuit1592]

When I bought the book many years ago upon release I was disappointed that it had no pictures of them together except for a blurry picture on the dust jacket. It took away some the books credibility as far as I was concerned. Still would like to see the movie, though.

[@Trendy-lf6ig]

@@wk1810 Peter Turner is my uncle the pic in New York is Gloria and Peter's niece and my cousin Eileen

[@MTknitter22]

flitebiscuit I dunno. She did not look her best in the later years because she was ill. I bet Peter did that for HER privacy - the photos I mean. That is a sensitive thing.

[@waitingodsgrace]

I feel Hollywood was just the wrong place to look for love for Gloria.. particularly in that generation of 50s

[@samjones4451]

Hard to understand.

[@crimsonrush]

There's an elephant in the room...

[@Vesnicie]

crimsonrush a minor stroke maybe?

[@paulyarrow9857]

The original book had an element of opportunism and seedy implying a sexual relationship with a dying woman

[@Dana9437]

I don't think so at all.

[@martinwatson9615]

There’s always one who sees things as he is rather than as they are.

[@cloudydaez]

He seems effeminate

[@crimsonrush]

You are not suggesting he is embellishing the truth for attention are you? How dare you!

[@tomorrrowneverknows]

He did admit in the film (I haven’t read the book, but I’d imagine it’s the same) that he is bisexual
