Kathleen Turner

Born: 19th June 1954

Kathleen began acting in the 1970s and enjoyed a stint on the daytime soap The Doctors before her Body Heat breakthrough.

It was the hit Romancing the Stone in 1984 that cemented her stardom and earned her a Golden Globe.

She re-teamed with Michael Douglas again for the Black Comedy The War of the Roses and received yet another Golden Globe nomination.

After a two-year sabbatical from the screen, Kathleen cropped up in supporting roles in the 1997 Martin Short kiddie flick A Simple Wish, and in the Tom DiCillo satire The Real Blonde.

From April 2000, Kathleen starred in The Graduate on the London stage, for a six month run. Then in November of the same year she was in Baltimore starring in the Broadway-bound play, Tallulah.
