The cast of Imitation of Life (1959, Douglas Sirk). A powerful riveting drama starring Lana Turner, Juanita Moore, John Gavin, Susan Kohner and Sandra Dee. Based on a Fannie Hurst movie and a remake from a previous film by John M. Stahl from 1934, this was Douglas Sirk last film in Hollywood. Nowadays, considered a masterpiece of one of the greatest filmmakers and one of my personal favorites.
