Living a lie is a poor substitute for living the truth sometimes it takes the harsh realties of life to help us discover who we truly are. The legendary Lana Turner stars in this 1959 version of Fannie Hurst's emotionally-charged drama, which chronicles two widows and their troubled daughters as they struggle to find true happiness amidst racial prejudice. Lana Turner plays Lora, a single white mother whose Hollywood starlet ambitions come at the expense of any meaningful relationship with her daughter, Susie (Sandra Dee). Lora's black housekeeper, Annie (Juanita Moore), has troubles of her own as she faces the rejection of her own fair-skinned daughter, Sarah Jane (Susan Kohner), who abandons her heritage for a chance to be accepted as white. As years of selfishness and denial pass, tragedy strikes and forces the women to come to terms with their own identities. Juanita Moore and Susan Kohner were both Oscar-nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" for their stirring performances. This lavish production, directed by Douglas Sirk (Magnificent Obsession), was a critical and commercial success, and today remains both a testament to its time and a beloved Hollywood classic.

I watched this movie with my mom when I was 8 and she was 48. Back in my mom's younger days she was told she could pass for white. Meanwhile, I her carmel colored daughter didn't understand what that meant until I saw The Imitation of Life'. The story is sad n painful to watch but it has many truths. Mom is now 85, I am 45. She is dying of stage 3 lung cancer along with other complications. Today my family and I are taking her off the machines that her helping her breathe. This pain reminds me of this movie

This is my all time favorite movie. I love it and my kudos go out to all girls who have a loving mother daughter relationship. Unfortunately, I've never felt love from my biological or adoptive mother. Yes I'm mixed. It's a struggle even at 44 nearly 45 years.
