Mary Kathleen Turner (born June 19, 1954), better known as Kathleen Turner, is an American film and stage actress and director. Turner came to fame during the 1980s, after roles in ''Body Heat'' (1981), ''Romancing the Stone'' (1984), and ''Prizzi's Honor'' (1985), the latter two earning her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. In the later 1980s and early 1990s, Turner had roles in ''The Accidental Tourist'' (1988), ''The War of the Roses'' (1989), ''Serial Mom'' (1994) and ''Peggy Sue Got Married'' (1986), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Turner later had roles in ''The Virgin Suicides'' (1999), ''Baby Geniuses'' (1999), and ''Beautiful'' (2000), as well as guest-starring on the NBC sitcom ''Friends'' as Chandler Bing's cross-dressing father Charles Bing, and in the third season of Showtime's ''Californication'' as Sue Collini, the jaded, sex-crazed owner of a public relations company. Turner has also done considerable work as a voice actor, namely as Jessica Rabbit in ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'' (1988), as well as ''Monster House'' (2006), and the television series ''King of the Hill''. In addition to film, Turner has worked in the theatre, and has been nominated for the Tony Award twice for her Broadway roles as Maggie in ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'' and as Martha in ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?''. Turner has also taught acting classes at New York University. ==Early life== Turner was born in Springfield, Missouri, the daughter of Patsy (née Magee) and Allen Richard Turner, a U.S. Foreign Service officer who grew up in China (where Turner's great-grandfather had been a Methodist missionary).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Biography Channel )〕〔(Star Kathleen Turner focuses on peace during first Israel trip )〕 Turner was raised in a strict conservative Christian household, and her interest in performing was discouraged by both of her parents: "My father was of missionary stock," she later explained, "so theater and acting were just one step up from being a streetwalker, you know? So when I was performing in school, he would drive my mom () and sit in the car. She'd come out at intermissions and tell him, 'She's doing very well.'"〔 Due to her father's employment in the Foreign Service, Turner grew up abroad, and graduated from the American School in London in 1972. Her father died of a coronary thrombosis that same year, and then the family moved back to the United States. At age 19, Turner began volunteering at a local Planned Parenthood office.〔 She attended Missouri State University in Springfield for two years, then studied theater at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=US News )〕 During that period, Turner acted in several productions directed by the film and stage director Steve Yeager. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kathleen Turner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
