An copy that came my way via librarything in March. MARCH! And here it is June and I still haven't been able to finish the darn thing. I picked it up with great anticipation. After all Kathleen Turner is one of my favorite actresses. She has yet to disappoint, whether it's been in film or in interview. And while I could hear her distinctive voice behind the words very definitely in the beginning of the book, it just didn't sustain my interest. It was a struggle to get through her life up to maybe 1991 (after Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile.) But even for beautiful Kathleen, I don't think I can keep reading this. It's too much of a struggle. Yes she's "astonishingly candid" but I am not sure that I care that much. It was all kind of "vanilla" for me. For a woman capable of such passion on the screen and stage, it doesn't translate well into writing, or at least not for me. On the other hand, the gossipy bits about her co-stars was kinda fun. It's no surprise that she enjoyed her time and got on well with Michael Douglas and Danny de Vito. And Jack Nicholson, too. Her not so favorable reaction to Burt Reynolds surprised me, I kinda felt redeemed with her also negative reaction to Nicolas Cage. I absolutely despised him in Peggy Sue Got Married, so much so that I wouldn't see films with him in them. But apparently, he had a huge chip on this shoulder then, and a major bad boy attitude. He seems to have left that behind and let his true skill come out. And it made him a better actor (and one I no longer avoid.) So all in all, I'm kinda disappointed in Kathleen the author, but hey-- she's got beauty, brains and oodles of acting talent. She can leave writing for others to find their star.
