Actress Kathleen Turner, celebrated for her iconic roles in films like “Body Heat” and “Romancing the Stone,” has recently raised concerns about her health following a public appearance in New York City.
The 70-year-old star was seen using a wheelchair and walking with a cane during her outing. On Tuesday, she made a rare appearance in Manhattan, dressed casually in a black shirt, black pants, a gray sweater, and black sneakers. Initially relying on her cane to exit a vehicle, she later appeared in a wheelchair, prompting worries about her well-being.
This sighting follows a recent incident where Turner had to leave the stage unexpectedly during a performance of “A Little Night Music” after feeling unwell, intensifying public concern about her health, especially given her history of serious health issues.
Turner has been candid about her struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, a debilitating autoimmune disease that impacts her joints and organs. Diagnosed during her peak career in the early 1990s, the condition has profoundly affected her life.
Despite these challenges, Kathleen Turner continues to demonstrate resilience in her career, shifting from leading roles to supporting parts as she navigates her health. Her determination to stay active in both film and theater serves as an inspiration to many.
