Kathleen Turner is making waves with a wide-ranging interview in Vulture, where she discusses subjects including acting, Hollywood sexism, the co-star she once slapped—and President Trump's "gross" handshake. Turner, who found fame with '80s hits like Body Heat and Romancing the Stone, has focused on stage acting for decades and is renowned for what the BBC calls her "iconic, smoky voice." Asked what had driven her career, Turner said the main force was "rage" at "the injustice of the world." Some highlights:
- A career derailed by illness. Turner, 64, says she felt a sense of loss after illness struck and the Hollywood job offers dried up. "Rheumatoid arthritis hit in my late 30s—the last of my years in which Hollywood would consider me a sexually appealing leading lady," she says. "The hardest part was that so much of my confidence was based on my physicality. If I didn’t have that, who was I?"
