Kathleen Turner, one of the 90s' most prominent stars, had a remarkable career in Hollywood. In recent years, she has become quieter due to health issues. She also has a wonderful family, with who she is still so close.

This week, she showed her face again as she graced a red carpet. She has been a staple in Hollywood for over five decades, and fans were excited to see her out and looking healthy once again.

Despite looking happy and healthy while she was on the red carpet, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 1992. However, fans were unaware of her condition because she kept it quiet.

She said she wanted to remain private about her illness because she feared producers and directors wouldn't consider her for roles if they knew she was ill. She was also afraid to take her prescribed painkillers because she knew how addictive it was. She is now in remission but sometimes gets flare-ups.

Douglas said that he and Turner knew one another very well. He said that when you know someone well and have developed a great friendship, you have to cherish and protect them through everything.

While Douglas believed he needed to cherish and protect his friend, he, Warren Beatty, and Jack Nicholson made a bet about who would be able to sleep with Turner first. Turner turned all three men down.

As an older woman, she has noticed that women feel they are not taken as seriously as men. However, Turner said:

"But I have found that [life] is mostly exciting."

Turner also says she knows she does not need a man in her life. She said she only found men interesting for a short while. She feels a man is the last thing she needs in her life right now and is content on her own.
