A weird movie moment
 

After a few brief moments of weakness and indecision, I found myself sitting in a theater watching Dumb and Dumber To with my girlfriend.

Once they found the mom in the story, I was really struck by this really strong sense of familiarity with the actress and couldn't figure out why. The voice was super familiar... the face only vaguely familiar.

Suddenly, it hit me and I turned to my GF and said "oh shit, that's Kathleen Turner" and she just looked at me like I was retarded.

So i was doubting myself and the voice kept striking a chord with me and I became convinced that I was recognizing the voice, not the face... then it hit me ... i realized why the voice was familiar and said to her "Oh shit... that's the person that played Chandlers cross dressing father on Friends". Now she's thinking "what a weird way to cover up the first stupid obviously wrong thing you said"

Turns out they were both Kathleen Turner. I had no clue after watching those episodes of Friends so many times, that it was her. Such a deep raspy voice even back then. In what had to be one of the more spectacular coincidences ever, after the movie, we came home, sat down and I turned on the TV and flipped through a few channels and Romancing the Stone was on. We couldn't get over how sexy she was in that movie and how she looks like a homeless person today.

The years have not been kind to her.

Here she is in Dumb and Dumber To...

That bitch scares me.

She was a major sexpot even when she first started to get chunky. Very close to a 10 at some points.

Train wreck now.

A few extra pounds at 20's to early 30's OK. Without warning: BAM! Wall.

Some can get in shape and stretch it out another 20 years. i have met a few rare 50+ that were hot (no surgery) but it was a part time job working out and taking care of themselves to look good.

And if you smoke...STOP IT!

She was super hot, now she is old :(

She has had rheumatoid arthritis since 1992. She compounded the problem by drinking to numb the pain of RA. RA is very disfiguring to the joints...

Not only is it disfiguring to the joints - many of the medical treatments cause significant weight gain that is difficult to lose due to the affected joints and inability to exercise and be properly active.

But yeah, Kathleen Turner was one of the hottest chicks on the planet back in the day, fer sure. :thumbsup
