Always liked her and she plays a great character in the show. Like you I wondered what had happened to her, she used be this sexy milf type actress who suddenly dropped out of sight. She's no longer a Milf but it's good to see her back in the business.
From a newspaper (Daily Mail) report a few years back
She is the siren whose sexual chemistry with Michael Douglas lit up the screen 20 years ago.
Today, Kathleen Turner is barely recognisable as she succumbs to the side-effects of steroids she is taking to ease the agony of rheumatoid arthritis.
With her smouldering beauty and husky voice, Miss Turner became one of Hollywood's biggest stars in the 1980s, playing femme fatales in films such as Body Heat, The Man with Two Brains and Prizzi's Honour.
She starred with Douglas in Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile and The War of The Roses.
Her appeal was such that she was voted one of the 100 sexiest stars in film history by the movie magazine Empire
Since then the arthritis she first suffered more than ten years ago has grown steadily worse.
She had chemotherapy and took steroids simply to function normally, and found temporary relief in alcohol, ending up in rehab five years ago. She said in a recent interview: "People were saying that the reason I looked so bloated was that I was an alcoholic, but it was actually the steroids I was on that were making me look puffy.
"In Hollywood, it's more acceptable for you to drink or do drugs than to be ill. Although it made me angry to have those things said about me initially, I never corrected anyone and just let everything wash over me."
THEN
AND NOW
