DETOUR

The stabbing of Johnny Stompanato on Good Friday 1958 by the 14 year-old Cheryl Crane, Lana Turner's daughter - was one of the most shocking and scandalous Hollywood tragedies ever. Now, 30 years later, Cheryl Crane tells the true story of that night of horror, the events that led up to it and the terrible aftermath. Despite a lonely and often horrific childhood as the daughter of a Hollywood megastar, she refused to remain a victim despite being repeatedly raped by one of her mother's lovers and sent to a series of remand homes after the killing. She eventually reconciles with her mother and comes to terms with her own sexuality to lead a saner life with her live-in companion Josh - ex-girlfriend of Peter Lawford.
