Kathleen Turner, age 53, was one of the most strikingly beautiful actresses in the 1980's. The photo at left is from the 1981 movie Body Heat, one of the sexiest movies of all time. Here she was at the beginning of her acting career. The center photo was taken earlier this week at a book signing.

And Turner was very aware of how attractive she was when she was younger. She has said "You know how it is when you know you are really sexy? On nights when I feel great about myself, if I walk into a room and a man doesn't look at me, he's either dead or gay."

She's just written a book about her life and her struggles with rheumatoid arthritis and alcoholism. See Send Yourself Roses
