Kathleen Turner
Born: 19 June 1954 Springfield, Missouri
Height: 5' 10"
In 1978, the 5'10" husky voiced Turner was hired as the second Nola Turner on NBC daytime soap The Doctors, but she was fired the next year because the producers felt she was "not hot enough". Turner, however, soon launched a successful film career in Body Heat, which many consider one of the sexiest films (with Turner giving one of the sexiest performances) in the history of cinema. Turner remained a film star until the early 1990s, when rheumatoid arthritis began to seriously restrict her activities. During her heyday, she rose to fame as the star of Romancing the Stone with Michael Douglas, Prizzi's Honor with Jack Nicholson, Peggy Sue Got Married with Nicolas Cage, and The War of the Roses with Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito. As she grew older and her disease worsened, her career began to slide, and she appeared in increasingly low-budget and low-profile films.
