Dang... She did not age well at all!


Yikes.... Went from playing a sultry blonde bombshell to Chandler's tranny dad.

She's one of those women I never saw the appeal in. I remember her once saying something like 'If I walk into a room, any man that doesn't look is gay'. I thought at the time, Really? I don't see it. I love the movie Body Heat but I could never work out why Hurt's character would go ga-ga over her.

I agree with this 1000%. The always looked average to me.

She has suffered from Rheumatoid arthritis at least since the early 90s if not before.

I really forget how legit gorgeous Kathleen was back in the '80s before she started putting on weight:

That is the sultry babe that I remember! Thanks for the reminder

reply

She was attractive, but flat as a twelve-year-old boy, a look I'm not into.

Her husband calls her Kathleen Turn 'Er Over.

reply

True. But you cant blame her- it's not like she did it to herself. I think she smoked, which obviously didn't help - but the big thing was her disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis. It was so bad it pretty much took her out of commission - plus I believe it drove her to drink heavily. If you're out of commission, you're gonna gain weight. If you drink heavily, you won't look good.

Maybe she didn't go under the plastic surgeon knife like most of actresses of her age?
