Kathleen Turner: Career
She attended Southwest Missouri State University at Springfield for two years, then gained her Bachelor in Fine Arts degree from the University of Maryland in 1977. In 1978 Turner was hired as the second Nola Turner on NBC daytime soap The Doctors
, but was fired the next year because the producers felt she was "not hot enough". Turner had the last laugh as she became a movie star a few years later in Body Heat, which many consider one of the sexiest films (with Turner giving one of the sexiest performances) in the history of cinema. Turner remained a film star up to the early 90's, but has since rarely appeared in major productions.
In addition to the television work listed above, she has also appeared as a guest on Friends
, King of the Hill
(voice), The Simpsons
(voice), and Saturday Night Live, which she hosted twice.
In 2000 Turner starred as Mrs Robinson in the London revival of The Graduate, appearing fully nude (albeit in darkly lit sequences).
