In fact, after attending the Oscars on March 26, 1958, Turner was physically assaulted by Stompanato. A week later, the two argued again where the gangster threatened to kill Turner, Cheryl and Turner’s mother. Cheryl, who was listening to the entire fight from the next room, became scared for her mother. He then picked up a kitchen knife and attacked Stompanato and killed him. The jury later acquitted the actress’ daughter, Cheryl, due to the defense’s claims of self-defense and evidence of a physical attack on Turner.
