The Many Lives of Kathleen Turner | Vogue
December 13, 2021 - Kathleen Turner’s voice has always commanded attention. Pick any random review of Body Heat or Romancing the Stone, and you’ll likely see it described as smoky, sexy, sensuous, tobacco-cured, or scotch-laden. The effect of Turner’s voice in person, seated in a corner booth at The Odeon in Tribeca, is nothing short of intoxicating: It has a lower, huskier quality now than it did in those old films.

r/movies on Reddit: Kathleen Turner was a highly regarded actress in the 80s but illness prevented her from continuing her successful career in the 90s. What are your thoughts on her?
March 9, 2024 -

All I have to say is that voice she had is enough to keep you entranced. I always liked watching her in movies, I even liked the bad ones she made or the smaller parts she got.

One movie I truly liked was "Giulia and Giulia", nobody watched that movie but it's a fascinating film about a woman who lost her husband in a accident after the wedding. Years later, she finds herself entering an alternate Universe where her husband never died and they had a child and she's hellbent in keeping that reality. Or is everything she's experienced a delusion she has created in her mind? An absolutely spellbinding thriller.

Turner has also given us some classic performances: Body Heat, Peggy Sue Got Married (deservedly nominated), The War of the Roses, Romancing the Stone, The Accidental Tourist, Serial Mom...etc.

She could play the sexy femme fatale but also had a knack for comedy. She had everything, but then she got ill and medication made her balloon. From then on, her career changed. It's sad because I think the Movie world had a modern day Carole Lombard and I still think Turner never got to continue her career the way she deserved to.
