Kathleen Turner on Being a Gay Icon, Hollywood's Unoriginality, & Playing Serial Mom

[@Stingmon21]

The reason the gays love Kathleen is because she always has "Strong Mom" energy while having the voice of a Strong Daddy.

[@suvariboy]

I served her in a restaurant once when I was a waiter. She was great. Smoked and swore non-stop. She was with Sarah Jessica Parker who kept apologizing for Turner. 😂

[@sagesufferswell]

That's epic 😂😂😂

[@AlistairHann]

Romancing the Stone was one of my favourite films as a kid

[@mightyone3737]

Fun for all ages in an era of surprisingly bad movies.

[@peggysmyth6110]

Mine too.

[@oceanlover3530]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Her voice is so iconic I was like "Kathleen Turner? Not sure I know who Kathleen Turner is," and then she started talking and I thought, "Oh, nevermind. I know her."

[@gabrielmaroto18]

I’m surprised she hasn’t done any animation she perfect.

[@AoideTavish]

​@gabrielmaroto18 You may wanna treat yourself to a viewing of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

[@gabrielmaroto18]

@@AoideTavish omg 😱YESSSS! Forgive me mother Kathleen! Fu€king millennial. 🤣😅😇

[@teresahenderson1797]

So fine in “Body Heat” ! 💥

[@michan6705]

​@@gabrielmaroto18Who Framed Roger Rabbit amd Monster House.

[@Rb1330]

Serial Mom does not get the respect it deserves. She's brilliant in it, and it even has Suzanne Somers in it. Great movie.

[@tophers3756]

Love that movie. It's a good mainstream-ish introduction to John Waters.

[@Meganec3810]

That movie is one of my favorites

[@Someonesaidthis]

I want a Serial Grandma sequel to come out. Directed by John Waters and no one else.

[@sweeney60]

Here me out. Serial Mom in her later years running a support group for “former” serial killers yet her and everyone in the group are still killing people.

[@jusme164]

It's her voice,it's her!!!!!

[@tylerthompson1842]

She’s an Ork now

[@olzki]

Absolute living legend - love this woman!

[@sisterseeth]

If you love her voice as many do, I highly recommend her memoir, "Send Yourself Roses" 2008. This was a few years before her health struggles began, so she's very expressive throughout, and it's hard to shake the mental image of getting my bedtime story read to me by Jessica Rabbit.

[@SaveRobbie]

Kathleen Turner has been my favorite actress since I was 4 years old and always will be! Proud gay supporter here!

[@jonhinson5701]

Straight women have been the greatest supporters of gay rights. We would not have come as far as we have without these women.

[@heinruh9788]

True

[@mrmenno]

And yet today so many gay men are happily selling women down the river by pretending not to know what a woman is anymore

[@BrandonBorradaile]

It's so true. She's right. We owe them now. Go vote gurls 💙

[@paulnagle7017]

So glad Turner said that about Peggy Sue - I always felt that ending was unacceptable

[@jacobmorris3664]

She couldn't stand the voice Nicholas Cage used in the film.

[@TheAureliac]

She outclassed him on every level (still does) and I was furious that she settled for him again.

[@bitchenboutique6953]

Even as a kid when I was an idiot it didn’t feel right!! But almost ALL media promoted shitty toxic relationships as what we should aspire to… 🙄

[@MrQueerDuck]

V. I. Warshawski had some choice moments too! Love her so much. I'm glad to know she's a fan of the show.

[@katiebelmont2903]

One of my favorites movies❤

[@ronaldwatson3862]

Great to see Kathleen and Jon together!

[@carina9295]

May Pod save her and the country

[@oceanwoods]

Ms. Turner was saying that ALL WOMEN need support right now. Roe v Wade anyone…..

[@Pixl8dwhmsy]

No she was saying that women’s spaces and sports are being invaded by the t’s

[@oceanwoods]

@@Pixl8dwhmsy I didnt hear it that way. But if it was, she's not a 'gay icon'

[@FabianEDuran]

I remember watching Ms. Turner swinging from the chandelier and thinking: She's wonderful!!!!

[@amandadeloff4278]

Incredible!!! She was pregnant while doing the voice acting for Jessica Rabbit? Delightful and I'm glad her daughter convinced her to do the show!! ❤❤

[@LHSnLA]

That was a great interview - but so short! I felt like the conversation could have gone on much longer!

[@jpt9328]

How could you be with Kathleen Fucking Turner and not talk about Body Heat?! What an icon.

[@tophers3756]

For real

[@zedsodead]

That's because you're straight. That movie brought on my puberty.

[@zedsodead]

​@tophers3756 That's because we're straight. That movie started my puberty. I say the gays can not have her to themselves! She's mine, I tell you! Mine, mine, mine.

[@vanessawhitneypro]

LEGEND. How cool is that! Thank You, Ms. Turner. You are AMAZING.

[@jazbaygrapes]

I yelled in excitement and scared my dog when I saw Kathleen Turner. I could have watched this talk for hours.

[@marylhere]

“I’m as pure as the driven slush” best Telula Bankhead quote.

[@PneumaNoose]

I just watched Serial Mom for the first time since I was a kid, and I couldn’t believe it’s even BETTER now. I absolutely fkn LOVE HER!

[@Basileus84]

You didn't ask her about Crimes of Passion? One of her best roles.

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

😲So great to hear her voice!

[@brianmoore6306]

this was so much fun! I couldn't believe it when it was over...it went so FAST! Great show.

[@surewhatever8843]

Big fan of Kathleen Turner. The War of the Roses is my FAVORITE, and I can never get my hands on it!

[@Jenny_Oblivion]

She’s an icon for all of us and she’s right- women need support!

[@lareneandpipsqueeksully]

War of the Rose’s is my favorite Kathleen Turner’s❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@kitkeller5831]

She should have won the Oscar for that. They shouldn't even have bothered with nominations.

[@mdhsml]

Happy Birthday, Kathleen!!! Have loved you forever.... xoxo

[@mightyone3737]

Romancing the Stone was a very good movie, much better than it could have been, and the acting was a big part of it's success. The sequel was also solid, and had even less right to be, it's almost a miracle how well those two movies aged (I watched them randomly a bit ago because they were on Disney+ and I remembered liking them).

[@holmcm751]

Hands down MY FAVORITE TV DAD!!!!

[@Halflife2-y2m]

I love Kathleen Turner!

[@amandad6513]

She’s a legend. Thank you for this interview. It was amazing ❤

[@peggysmyth6110]

Enjoyed her in Body Heat

[@GlassSpiider]

She was magnificent in War of the Roses, all the flowers to Kathleen Turner 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@jacobmorris3664]

Not a weak link in that film.

[@GlassSpiider]

@@jacobmorris3664 The way she looks at Michael Douglas before uttering, "Woof." Just iconic in every possible way.

[@jacobmorris3664]

@@GlassSpiider hehe. She had many great moments in the film

[@robertcushman7002]

will never forget buying you a martini at Dempsey bar in Palm Beach ⛱️ after seeing you in Tallulah, you were so kind 😇 cheers ❤

[@darreylhenderson702]

6:58 The girl in the audience may have messed up the character's name, but so did he. He called her " Betty" Sutphin. It's "Beverly". Lol

[@celebrityrog]

War of the Roses and Serial Mom really did it for me though Romancing The Stone and Jewel of the Nile were my first real experiences I simply adore her and her voice.

[@daveatauvich2826]

Body Heat iconic!

[@alfredla2009]

Thanks for Kathleen Turner, Jon Lovett! Very Cool.🌈

[@marylhere]

Saw War of the Roses again after many many years….sooo funny.

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

as a Baltimorean how can i not love John Waters?!!

[@TheDougjen]

Loved her with Dennis Quaid in Undercover Blues!!

[@skyavalanche]

Ms. Turner would be a Fabulous Ursula in John Waters “The Psycho Mermaid”

[@colinneagle4495]

I gotta say, how on Earth can Kathleen Turner and Jon Lovett be the same height? In my memory of watching her films, she always seemed to tower over her male co-stars like an Amazon warrior. Is Michael Douglas simply a pocket sized human? Has my sense of scale been completely wrong all these years? I'm so perplexed

[@analogee6858]

A lot of actors are pocket-sized humans.

[@lester10023]

She’s a gay icon because she’s fabulous!

[@judeangione3732]

Thanks for the tip about Serial Mom. Never heard of it. Sounds great.

[@johnayalachef]

I’m of a generation that say her rise as a movie star and have loved her ever since. Phenomenal woman ❤

[@akronkeith]

I remember when she was on the NBC soap opera “The Doctors.” Yikes … just dated myself! 😮

[@karakask5488]

Is there a podcast out there that has stars telling stories about their careers? If someone knows, could you drop the name? I could listen to her stories for hours.

[@davidcwitkin6729]

I am in awe of both of you

She is such a delight.

[@nicklindsay3418]

God I wish a got both sets of tickets

[@marcobenneti9664]

She was the only woman in the world fit for a character like Serial mom, but she was amazing in The war of the roses too. I love this woman ❤

[@TT_09]

“He bought an Edsel!”

[@mrmenno]

Her saying gay men need to stand with women really struck me, but it goes far beyond Roe VS Wade. Too many gay men are part of shaming and smearing women simply defending their rights or even having the temerity to say that a woman is an adult human female. Lovett gives me the impression he’d be one of those gay men too. We can’t support women by denying what they are.

[@AbbaLeStrange]

uh the host got his own question wrong after the audience member did lol, he said kathleen played "betty" sutphin but the character's name was beverly lol.

[@kristinamusantejd735]

Body Heat.. Magnificent ..enough said.. but wasnt said.

[@Remyisbest]

I saw her in Virginia Wolfe, iconic.

[@gracioussunchild9877]

Why is everyone forgetting how much Chandler shamed his father? He was not only embarrassed...but never spoke well of him. He wasn't really loving at all towards his father.

Kathleen Turner in her heyday was not a gay icon. Perhaps today after all the adversity but back then absolute zero JudyLiza connection.
