AceShowbiz - Hollywood icon Kathleen Turner, 70, was spotted on a rare public outing on Tuesday in New York City. The "Body Heat" actress relied on a cane as she exited her car and entered a building in Manhattan's Downtown area. She was later seen leaning on a wheelchair for support.
Turner, whose full name is Mary Kathleen Turner, was a prominent figure in the film industry during the 1980s and 1990s, appearing alongside notable actors such as Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito. Aside from "Body Heat" (1981), she is known for her roles in "Prizzi's Honor" (1985), "The Jewel in the Crown" (1984) and "The War of the Roses" (1989).
In recent months, Turner has made public appearances at various events. Last month, she briefly left the stage during a performance of "A Little Night Music" due to illness. In November, she attended Citymeals On Wheels' Annual Power Lunch.
Throughout her career, Turner has been open about her experiences in the entertainment industry, including a crush she had on Michael Douglas during their time together in "Romancing the Stone" and "The Jewel of the Nile". However, she has maintained that her former co-star may have perceived her as competition.
Turner lives in New York City as a single woman and has been divorced since 2007. She is an advocate for charities that assist the less fortunate, having attended Citymeals On Wheels' Annual Power Lunch for several years.
Despite her physical challenges, Turner remains an inspiration to her countless fans. Her strength and resilience in the face of adversity are a testament to her enduring legacy in the film industry.
