  • "Kathleen Turner has always lived her life according to her own rules. The screen icon opens up about her own life--both personal and professional--the risks she's taken, and the lessons she's learned from her film and stage career, 20-year marriage (and recent separation), raising her daughter, and her successful struggle with rheumatoid arthritis. Turner recounts why she took the roles she did--from her film debut as the sultry schemer in Body Heat to her subsequent craft-stretching roles in Peggy Sue Got Married (for which she received an Academy award nomination), Romancing the Stone, Prizzi's Honor, The War of the Roses, and Serial Mom. And she discusses her recent resurgence on the stage with Tony nominations in her roles as Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate and as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, for which she also won the a British Evening Standard Award.--Publisher description."

  • "Award-winning actress Kathleen Turner's unique blend of beauty, intelligence and raw sexuality has driven her personal and professional life. In this gutsy memoir, she tells us of the risks she's taken and the lessons she's learned - sometimes the hard way. For the first time, Turner shares her childhood challenges and talks about her twenty-year marriage and recent separation, her close relationship with her daughter, her commitment to charity work and how activism has bolstered her beliefs. Turner reveals the pain and heartbreak of her struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, and with characteristic irreverent humour, shares behind-the-scenes stories of working with legends such as Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, William Hurt and Steve Martin."
