The city of Wallace, Idaho recently celebrated the 100th birthday of one of their most favorite daughters, Lana Turner (or aka Julia Jean Turner). I am going to guess there may be a few people reading this not familiar with Lana, but she was a famous (and also somewhat infamous on occasion) actress whose popularity was predominantly in the 40's and 50's. She often played the part of a good girl gone bad, and sadly, life often imitated art in her case. Despite fame, hers was not a life to envy, even from her earliest years. After winding up in a foster home in California, she suffered abuse as a child, and like so often happens, that pattern of abuse followed her into adulthood.
Lana TurnerHer childhood home still stands in Wallace and several years ago I took photographs of the house 'just because'. I loved the style of the home, reminiscent of something you'd see in the old south. Any grand ideas this home may have had though, have long vanished.

See the Eagle in the sky? This was our sky over Ajo the morning of Jan. 20th. I don't think it could have been any more appropriate!
