I haven't seen that many of her films TBH but here goes
1. Postman Always Rings Twice - Turner clearly gets this gal, driven by libido, low trash - ut's terrific work
2. Peyton Place - I remember her being dreadful in this part... I'll have to rewatch it... but she provides a solid centre
3.Green Dolphin Street - Turner steps into a part that Katherine Hepburn was going to play and does well in this surprisingly enjoyable historical melodrama
4. Love Finds Andy Hardy - a very flashy part, beautiful and sexually aggressive... poor Polly!
5. The Bad and the Beautiful - Turner channels Diana Barrymore and does a very good job
6. Imitation of Life - I've got notes she was dreadful and maybe she was but it so perfectlt cast
7. The Three Musketeers - Milday's not a hard part but Turner has the beauty and charisma to make it sing
8. Johnny Eager - great value as a good girl with a taste for being bad
9. Honky Tonk - teams well with Gable in a film that turns a little too soapy but is fun
10. Ziegfield Girl -Judy Garland has the talent but Turner's got the best role, becoming famous and hitting the bottle and being all tragic
