What the hell has happened to Kathleen Turner?

Ironic that I read this send yesterday and while perusing a book store, came across her book (image below). She is uncover, honest, funny, friendly, quirky, and someone you could have a bottle of wine with and not even want to interrupt her to speak. I like a passage of the interviewer telling her of a woman who called her "my hero" for how she got through the trauma of RA. I can't keep in mind the exact phrase she used, but it was obvious that Kathleen was touched to the indicate of realizing that she has really made an impact on somebody's experience as a human creature. I saw her on Broadway in "The Graduate" and "Virginia Woolf", and hope to see her again. There is a beauty in her that defies age, and I don't care about her reputation as being complicated. She put quality and passion into her perform, knows that she has passed the icon stage, but can now relocate onto character actor function which she states she loves.
