Thank you for indulging the question. And there are basic qualities I want to convey: the sense of loving people, of loving to be onstage, of loving to communicate.
What was that about? Eileen could be extremely difficult. She probably knew there was something wrong with her and was frightened. I would find myself searching for words. Eileen found this extremely unprofessional.
I can understand that. It was not intentional on my part. One of the areas that was most painful was my right wrist. Just touching it would make me want to scream. Please avoid this wrist. Oh no. Sit right on my wrist. I would just lie there, trying not to gasp. Oh, it was a very confusing time. There she goes. In my dream the camera was there.
When I got on set, the camera was here. I was disoriented. What was the deal? He said that if I gave him as many takes as he wanted from where he had set the camera, he would give me two takes from where I wanted the camera.
And guess what happened? The take he used was from your spot? Damn right. They were pretty mean to you. Well, that had so much to do with the rheumatoid arthritis.
At that time there was very little public knowledge about autoimmune diseases, so my illness was a source of bad mystery — certainly compared to what was going on with, oh, for example Robert Downey Jr.
Someone like him could show up on set and be drunk or misbehave in some way, but he would still get hired because producers figured they could control that kind of behavior. And the only real effective treatment back then was massive doses of steroids, which has massive side effects. At what point did drinking become a real problem and not just a falsely perceived one?
In truth, I did have a period when I found that alcohol was a great painkiller. For some reason, which I do not understand, I thought I could control the pain of my illness better with alcohol than I could with pain medication. I thought that would be an immediate path to addiction; I never thought alcohol would. Then I did, of course, abuse it [alcohol].
It never got in the way of the work but, oh, on my time off, just to kill the fucking pain, drinking was great. You know, when I went back and watched The War of the Roses , it was amazing to be reminded how savage and perverse that movie is. And it was a hit. You know, they tried to neuter The War of the Roses.
Come on. But are mainstream Hollywood films less sophisticated than when you were starring in them? It was all guns and superheroes. I would think that whoever could offer an alternative would make a killing. To pick one show you guest-starred on: What stands out about your experience on Friends?
I remember I was wearing this difficult sequined gown — and my high heels were absolutely killing me. I found it odd that none of the actors thought to offer me a seat. I think it was simply that they were such a tight little group that nobody from the outside mattered. How did you find them as actors and actresses? I do respect the camaraderie they had.
You can see camaraderie on the screen. When I did Body Heat with Larry Kasdan and Bill Hurt, we rehearsed significantly before shooting and there was a familiarity before the camera rolled. You see it in the film. I read in your memoir that William Hurt was into magic mushrooms. Did he ever try and get you to take them with him? No, I never tried any of those things that he liked. Bill can be very odd.
How so? You would find yourself in that kind of discussion with Bill. Then when we did The Accidental Tourist , Bill was sober, so there were fewer discussions like that. God, you did not want to get Bill talking too much. Just to go back to working with Michael Douglas. You did three movies with him. How quickly was it apparent that you played off each other so well? I was willing to throw myself down mountainsides. And when we did the sequel, Jewel of the Nile, the sense of coming back together was so cool.
It was nice to be back with friends. Were you surprised or hurt at the way Michael leaned on you to do that movie? That was a bad blowup. I had signed a contract to do a sequel [to Romancing the Stone ] but the script for it [ The Jewel of the Nile ] was terrible. What had happened was that Romancing was so successful that Diane [Thomas], who wrote the original script, evidently asked Michael for what he felt was a ridiculous sum to work on the sequel. So instead, he went with these two guys and what they came up with was terrible, formulaic, sentimental.
Anyway, I said no. Eventually Michael and I talked. And Michael did go to her for some alterations. But ultimately I read the script on a plane to Morocco, where the film was shooting, and I was furious. When I got to the hotel in Fez, Michael and I sat down on the floor with three versions of the script. The part won Taylor a best-actress Oscar. How so? Shot No. But none of those stars were as difficult to work with as Burt Reynolds, according to Turner, whom she acted alongside in the comedy Switching Channels.
He said something about not taking second place to a woman. His behavior was shocking. Reader, his character was not supposed to bite her character. Turner responded by slapping him in the face. She even looks pretty much the same. Could it be Diane Keaton, who loves a meta role? That woman was gorgeous and seemed to turn into a middle-aged frump overnight. Because she is extremely a-f-f-e-c-t-e-d. Kathleen is a drunk and a cokehead. That does funny things to people. After a while, you begin to believe you're "cosmopolitan".
I could listen to her speaking all day. For those of you who buy the excuse that she spent time in different countries due to her father's job, it's true that she did, but so did her mother, brothers and sister, and oddly enough, none of them sound like her. They all sound as if they are from Missouri. Yes indeed, we too use "cookies. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.

Why does Kathleen Turner talk the way she does? Bitch stole my voice! We need a sample of her voice. Affected bitch. She appears starting It's her version of posh-speak. Sounding like Kathy is easy! First, you clench tight, then repeat after me: "Are those pussy willows?
So many have tried for Tallulah Bankheads voice. She pronounces her own name as "cah-ta-leen. Only a drunk would prefer you think it's an affectation than the effects of an alcoholic stroke. Too much time spent at the cocksucker's residence. That's not nice. Is she German? Is she still married to that slumlord?
