Hollywood Icon Kathleen Turner Stays Strong Despite Health Setbacks: “She’s a Fighter”
Eighties screen siren Kathleen Turner was pictured shuffling through the streets of New York City.
The 70-year-old former bombshell stopped to catch her breath while passersby seemed not to recognize the onetime sex symbol who steamed up the big screen in blockbusters such as Body Heat and Romancing the Stone.
Turner has admitted to suffering through a decades-long battle with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, which derailed her career and led to self-medicating with alcohol to ease her pain.
“It was incredibly stupid,” she once confessed. “I had this thing in my head where I thought: ‘I’m not taking pain pills — they are addictive and dangerous.’ But it was okay to have that second or third vodka.”
And while she has put drinking in the past, her pain continues to progress — even forcing her to drop out of a passion project production of A Little Night Music last summer in Maine, just two shows before the end of its run.
“Kathleen’s a fighter,” says a source. “She’ll never give in to this disease.”
