Kathleen Turner is known for her raspy, smoky and sultry voice in steamy romances and comedies like ?Body Heat,? ?Romancing the Stone? and as the voice of Jessica Rabbit in ?Who Framed Roger Rabbit?? In her latest interview, that voice had a whole lot to say.
Speaking with Vulture on Tuesday, Turner dished on everything from President Trump?s ?gross handshake? to how cliquey she found the cast of ?Friends? when she made a guest appearance. Check out some more of the juiciest highlights from her interview below.
Turner says Elizabeth Taylor was overrated
?You ever listen to her voice? It?s awful,? Turner said of Taylor. ?I don?t think she was very skilled.
Donald Trump has a ?gross? handshake
Vulture interviewer David Marchese briefly went off topic to ask whether Turner ever met Donald Trump in his 1980s New York days. ?Yuck,? Turner replied at the thought, interjecting that Trump has what she called a ?gross handshake.?
?He goes to shake your hand and with his index finger kind of rubs the inside of your wrist,? Turner said. ?He?s trying to do some kind of seductive intimacy move. You pull your hand away and go yuck.?
On how she avoided being typecast
Turner is known for her voice and her sex appeal, but she said she worked to avoid being considered as only one type of actress, which she added hurt her career and financially. She said that after her first stage role playing a ?privileged white girl,? Turner didn?t want the audience to think that was what she was like offstage.
