Going to the movies in the 1980s was difficult if you didn’t want to see Kathleen Turner in something. In addition to Body Heat, Romancing the Stone, Prizzi’s Honor, The War of the Roses, and Peggy Sue Got Married, she appeared in a number of other films that were all critically acclaimed. In Hollywood, her smoldering good features combined with a seductive voice made her a perfect choice for the role of femme fatale. During this time period, she was nominated for an Academy Award and received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

There is nothing Kathleen Turner can do to affect her shift from being a sex siren to becoming a regular person. During the 1990s, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, which resulted in agonizing suffering and was attempted to limit her to a wheelchair. Some critics were skeptical of the medicine prescribed for her recuperation since it caused generalized weight gain and bloating, according to their observations. Aside from being pushed out of the limelight, Turner’s acting offers moved from “star” to “mother” and even “grandmother.” as a result of her gender. Her arthritis has, happily, been put into remission in recent years, and she has appeared in a number of guest roles on television shows such as Friends, Nip/Tuck, and Californication throughout the years. We’re relieved that she appears to be in better shape and is doing better.
