Actor: Kathleen Turner

Kathleen Turner debuted in Body Heat, and the performance is among the most assured first films any American actor has given, playing a femme fatale whose plan is more thorough than anyone realises.

Romancing the Stone and Prizzi’s Honor showed comic range, and she voices Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit uncredited.

Rheumatoid arthritis in the 1990s severely affected her career and she has been candid about the treatment and the drinking that accompanied it. She works extensively on stage.
