Lana Turner in popular culture Lana Turner in popular culture Since her rise to fame in the 1940s, American film actress Lana Turner (19211995) has appeared and been referenced in numerous works across literature, film, art, and music. Her glamorous persona and publicized personal troubles have contributed to her recurring prevalence in popular culture. Turner first entered the popular culture lexicon under the nickname "the Sweater Girl" due to her feature film debut in "They Won't Forget" (1937), in which she appeared in a form-fitting sweater that accentuated her bust. She was the first known person to be given the nickname, which went on to
The Hockey Sweater between French and English Canada, as well as the rivalry between the Canadiens and the Maple Leafs. Carrier stated, however, he had no political motivations, and only wished to "tell a good little story". "The Hockey Sweater" has achieved an iconic place in Canadian literature. It is the defining work of Carrier's career, and while he has lamented the fact that it has so overshadowed his other works, Carrier appreciates what its popularity has given him: "There is almost not one day in my life that there is not something nice that happens because of the story."
