Kathleen Turner Falls Ill During Performance of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at Ogunquit Playhouse

A couple rounds of steroids and she’ll be better than ever!

Drinking again?

I wish her well.

The part is played FROM A WHEELCHAIR. And she still can’t do it??!!?!

The show doesn't look great.

The Curse of Valerie Harper

Alright, let me tell you about the time Kathleen Turner totally surprised me. I was working as a hairstylist on a low budget film, and we were in the middle of a crazy long day. Kathleen comes in for her touch-up, and she must’ve seen the exhaustion on my face.

Without missing a beat, she asks about my day and I mention it’s my husband’s birthday, but I’m stuck working late. Kathleen, with that warm smile of hers, says, “Hold on a minute.” She leaves and comes back with a huge, beautiful bouquet of flowers she had in her trailer.

She hands them to me and says, “Give these to your man. Tell him happy birthday from me.” I was floored. Here’s a Hollywood legend, and she’s thinking about my partner’s birthday. That’s Kathleen for you - kindness when you least expect it. I really hope she’ll be okay.

Get up Daddy!

Leslie Jordan said she was wonderful, so I like her.

Thanks for sharing that, R7. Lovely story about Kathleen. I’ve read elsewhere that she’s great to work with as well.

Kathleen will the be the next person taken by the "Friends" curse.

That's a cool story about KT at R7. If she is drinking, again, I hope she can just quit. (She previously said: "I’m not an alcoholic, but I am an abuser [of drink].") She also has been to rehab.

She’s fine. She was just practicing for her audition to replace that old bitch in the I’ve fallen and can’t get up video. The producers want to find a replacement that will draw a younger, more non-hip replacement crowd.

Is this Four Two One Five Pussy Way?

R5 It looks pretty good. It's summer stock.

I saw this with Jean Simmons and Margaret Hamilton. Hamilton was miscast.

This makes me sad. 😮‍💨

And we were just commenting on her resemblance to the late Vestal Goodman the other day...

A gem. One of the best.

Mary! me if you must, but I love her, completely and unironically, whether she’s drink or sober, fat or thin, young or old. She’s just got that charisma. She makes every production good. I hope she keeps going.

The weather’s supposed to be a muggy mess next week. She should have held off.

They have air conditioning in Maine.

Well, thanks, R7, now I can't make my crack about the floorboards and the basement.

R7, the truth is she needed the empty vase for another gin ricky.

Someone should piss on her fish. That’ll get her going.

That clip at R5 gave me a headache from rolling my eyes. I have had my fill of Sondheim, I suppose.

Was the "Ketamine Queen" in the audience?

And so what begins?

Eat shit and die OP, she's a fucking national treasure.

Oh for heavens sake she was taken ill and couldn't finish a performance. So what. How many times has that Tony winner from Hells Kitchen not made it through the entire show. The weather has been horribly humid and she's got health issues to begin with. Give her a break.

Who's the "Tony winner from Hell's Kitchen"? I'm not familiar with anything east of the 405.

Any update on Miss Turner?

R32, we’ve just received word from Brenda Vaccaro!

“She’s” *ghaaaaaaaaasp*

We’ll update as more words are said.

She's 70 years old and she's a lifelong smoker and drinker. Tick tock.

Is Sally Stuthers anywhere in the area?

R35. No, but Sally Struthers is.

Frankly, R5 doesn't know what she's talking about. From that clip the production looks quite solid, and Kathleen was enchanting. I never would have thought she could sing so well. Her basso is quite good! I wish her a speedy recovery.

I saw her in The Graduate in London -you couldn't take your eyes off her, she radiated so much star quality. A friend of mine worked with her on a later West End show and said she absolutely professional and a pleasure to work with.

In fairness, she's a lot to take in.

OMG....the guy playing Swedish Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm....LOL. Listen to his rendition of "In Praise of Women"!

Goddamn. I'll climb Mike McGowan without a net.

Any update?

This interview is from this summer and she's pretty upbeat. I bet she'll be back.

No worries , it's just the Bottle Flu. Recovery in 2 days.

Her repertoire in the 80's and 90's was unbelievable. Going from Francis Coppola and John Huston to John Waters and Ken Russell. No other actress was as daring.

Also Romancing the Stone, War of the Roses, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Body Heat, Virgin Suicides.

My number one candidate for an Honorary Oscar. With Sigourney coming in second.

Sorry Glenn

War of the Roses is epic. Danny Devito's direction and the combo of Kathleen, him and Michael

They should have done a Thin Man type of series for the big screen.

oh Kathleen Turner we love you get up

Loved her in Peggy Sue Got Married, too bad I couldn't ignore Nicholas Cage. Coppola often had casting mistakes in his movies, like Vincent Spano in Rumble Fish or Keanu Reeves in Dracula.

...

What a star.

Saw her years ago in a production of “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream”

There was a pool in the center of the stage into which the fairy spirits would dive, to disappear from mortals, and then miraculously emerge from elsewhere in theatre.

Kathleen made quite a splash.
