Peter Turner est un auteur anglais, né à Liverpool en 1952, réputé pour ses mémoires et ses ouvrages non fiction. Il était le benjamin d'une fratrie de neuf enfants et a été éduqué dans une école secondaire publique. La passion de Turner pour le théâtre a commencé à l'âge de seize ans, lorsqu'il a commencé à travailler avec le National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Plus tard, il s'est produit dans le théâtre britannique, à Londres et dans les régions. Il a également joué des rôles importants dans des drames télévisés et des films, dont Spearhead et la version de Shakespeare The Tempest de Derek Jarman.
La relation de Turner avec l'actrice américaine, lauréate d'un Oscar, Gloria Grahame, a été un tournant majeur dans sa vie. Ils se sont rencontrés à Londres en 1978 et sont devenus amants, restant ensemble jusqu'à la mort de Grahame du cancer en 1981. Le mémoire de Turner, Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, publié en 1984, est un récit émouvant de leur relation et des derniers jours de Grahame passés avec Turner et sa famille. Le mémoire a ensuite été adapté en un film en 2017, réalisé par Paul McGuigan et mettant en vedette Annette Bening, Jamie Bell et Julie Walters.
Outre son mémoire, Turner a écrit de manière extensive pour la télévision britannique et a écrit deux scénarios. Il a également écrit des guides pour les voyageurs en Nouvelle-Zélande et travaille actuellement sur une collection de histoires courtes et son premier roman.
