Remember when Geri Jewell played Blair's differently-abled cousin on The Facts of Life and donned a T-shirt that read "I'm not drunk, I've got cerebral palsy"? Well, print one of those up for Kathleen Turner, only she's got the arthritis instead of the palsy.
For years, Jessica Rabbit has lived under the shadow of the rumors that she's a hopeless, doddering drunk. But if she herself is to be believed, the rumors are her own doing. (We guess her 1999 stint in rehab for alcohol abuse was, you know, just for fun.) You see, Hollywood frowns upon old biddies, but they welcome sad old drunks with open arms. Duh! Dudley Moore as Arthur? So cuddly! Kath recently confessed to the New York Daily News:
"I was afraid I wouldn't get work. My hands were very crippled for a while, so I kept dropping glasses and things because I couldn't grip them. Some of the medications make you blow up and puffy, so the rumour was that I had a drinking problem. It was safer for me to let people think I was drinking than to tell them that I had this. They always hire drunks, all the time. But they wouldn't hire someone with a disease they didn't understand."
And with that, Kathleen Turner has unlocked the mystery of why Michael J. Fox hasn't worked for three years, while Tara Reid got her very own show to highlight her love of Blavod and Cuervo.
Is Kathleen naked at MrSkin.com? HELL YES, brother!
