Actress Kathleen Turner has written a very revealing autobiography. The Daily Mail has an excerpt in it which discusses not only her sex scenes with William Hurt in Body Heat (and other movies), but why she detests Burt Reynolds and Nicolas Cage.

What’s really surprising is a comment about her appearance, when she was 25 and working on Body Heat:

But I was no great beauty: back then, I was a skinny woman with long legs, almost no boobs, good hair and bad teeth. Indeed, one of the studio’s worries was that my teeth didn’t look American – so they paid to have a fake cover made for them. It was awkward because it changed my lips and the way I spoke. It was uncomfortable, too, but I didn’t have any choice.

Proof that actresses are human and have the same neuroses as anyone else.

As for why she hates Nicolas Cage, it seems Cage was trying too hard to prove he didn’t get his role as Turner’s boyfriend/husband in Peggy Sue Got Married due to nepotism (uncle Francis Ford Coppola was directing). Cage apparently contradicted everything Coppola asked him to do. Turner also claims he might have stolen a chihuaha dog he liked by tucking it into his jacket.
