Kathleen Turner can do whatever she wants on the red carpet.
The beloved actress, 71, who rose to stardom in the role of sex symbol Matty Walker in the 1981film Body Heat, went on to memorable roles like The War of the Roses, Peggy Sue Got Married, and The Virgin Suicides. She even nailed several comedic roles, like starring as Chandler Bing's transgender father on Friends. But these days, Turner is enjoying a quieter life. The iconic star stepped out to attend the red carpet New York premiere of Animal Farm, and rocked a pair of Crocs like an absolute boss. Walking with a cane due to some recent injuries, the legend of stage and screen smiled for the cameras.
When Did Kathleen Turner Last Hit the Red Carpet?
Turner last stepped out to attend the New York premiere of Netflix's Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man at DGA Theater. While she walked with a cane then, the icon looked happy and healthy.
Before that, the legendary actress made a rare appearance last summer at the New York City premiere of The Roses at the Hudson Theatre on Monday. The black comedy, based on the 1981 novel The War of the Roses by Warren Adler, tells the story of a couple, Ivy and Theo, played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, who face a crossroads in their troubled relationship. Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney have supporting roles in the film.
It would have been only appropriate to have Turner at the premiere of the film, since she starred opposite Michael Douglas in the 1989 film adaptation of the book, which was a runaway hit directed by Danny DeVito. The legendary actress wore a full-length black dress for the occasion, along with black sandals. While her arm was in a sling, there was no word about the cause of her injury. With Cumberbatch and Colman by her side, Turner appeared happy to be at the big event.
