The Daily Mail has published an extract from Send Yourself Roses in which Chandler’s husky-voiced father flips the birdie to Burt Reynolds (who she worked with on “Switching Channels”) and describes her “Romancing the Stone” co-star Michael Douglas as “a wonderful friend and a terrible enemy.”.

She also, rather amusingly, has a nice crack at Nicolas Cage.

‘’Another co-star who left a lot to be desired was Nicolas Cage, who played my boyfriend and husband in Peggy Sue Got Married, about an unhappily married woman who jumps back in time to her high-school days.

Now, Nicolas happens to be the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, who was directing the film. And my contrary co-star was absolutely determined to prove that he wasn't there as the result of nepotism.

So, everything Francis wanted him to do, he went against - to show that he wasn't under his uncle's wing. Which was ridiculous. Oh, that stupid voice of his and the fake teeth! Honestly, I cringe to think about it.

He caused so many problems. He was arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He'd come across a chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.

On the last night of filming, he came into my trailer after he'd clearly been drinking heavily. He fell on his knees and asked if I could ever forgive him. I said, "Not right now. I have a scene to shoot. Excuse me," and just walked out.

Nicolas didn't manage to kill the film, but he didn't add a lot to it, either. For years, whenever I saw him, he'd apologise for his behaviour. I'd say: "Look, I'm way over it." But I haven't pursued the idea of working with him again.’’


'Now hold on a second!,let me get this right...kathleen turner still gets work?.

I love Kathleen Turner! I can definitely see Nicholas Cage doing that. He was young, and definitely an idiot... but I still dig some of his movies! Con Air is one of absolute favorites.

Meh. Even in her prime, Kathleen Turner always resembled a man in drag. It's a wonder she ever got popular in the 80s as a "sex symbol". Cage shits on her now...:D

Ah, freaking Serial Mom!

Anyway, she's gotta be over 60 years old! While she didn't age that gracefully, she sure aged a lot better than some male celebrities out there.:rolleyes:

I think that's a bit harsh on Cage. I'm sure he's MUCH more professional now than he maybe was back then.

Oh. I thought it was because she was jealous of his smooth, feminine voice.

Cage is the actor I don't like who's been in movies I love.

i think Turners comments are being taken a bit too far. She's just rehashing an anecdote from something that happened 20 years ago. It's not like she's bashing his work or anything.

I agree, though his career choices lately have left a little more than desired.

Funniest thing I've read all day.

Still haven't seen Serial Mom, I keep meaning to watch it when it's on tv but always forget.

You know, that just sounds like something Nic Cage would do.

And no, Kathleen Turner isn't getting any work any more. That's why she's resorted to writing tell-all books.

She was freakin' hot in Body Heat, I'll give her that.

She obviously has not aged well, and it's suprising that she gets any work other than voice work, which is basically all she's done in movies since her "Friends" work.

With so little left in her career, she's simply "descending" and firing shots at whomever she can on the way out.

Don't get me wrong:

"The Man With Two Brains"
"Romancing The Stone"
"VI Warshawski (not for the movie, it sucked. She just had some nice legs.)"

All movies I loved her in, but she's just in the twilight of her career and if you ask her an opinion of her co-stars, she's gonna give you what sounds like an honest opinion.

ghost rider defends himself.



Response issued by Nicolas Cage in regard to false statements made by Kathleen Turner in her upcoming book:

“I have never been arrested for anything in my life, nor have I stolen a dog. I am reaching out to my fans--many of whom are children so that they know that I do not condone drunk driving or theft. The reason why you've never seen a mug shot of me is because it does not exist.”

Stupid voice and fake teeth. What is she talking about? Are his teeth fake? Doesn't matter. Turner is a nobody, and Cage is still ripping shit up.

Any man who sticks a chihuahua he likes into in his jacket deserves respect.
