Kathleen Turner's stunning film debut as a femme fatale opposite William Hurt in 1981's Body Heat set the stage for her stardom in the 1980s. She began suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, diagnosed in 1992, which cut into her ability to make films. Her career was renewed when she began stage work, first in The Graduate, then with the role of Martha in the 2005 revival of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, for which she won rave reviews.
