Cheryl Crane’s Sheltered Life
Lana’s daughter, Cheryl Crane, lived a rather sheltered life. She was far from the party girl her mom was. Instead, she was constantly watched over like a hawk. Whether it was nannies or governesses, she was never alone. That was very frustrating, especially during her teenage years.

Turner was an overprotective mother. Like most parents, she wanted to protect her daughter at any cost. It might be to prevent her child from getting involved in scandals like Ike Turner did in your youth. At the end of the day, the mother-daughter relationship was distant, but Crane knew her mom loved her. It was Crane’s love for her mother that forced her to commit an unimaginable offense one day.
