Book Description

February 9, 2009
The New York Times bestseller SEND YOURSELF ROSES is now in trade paperback.


Kathleen Turner has always lived her life according to her own rules. The screen icon opens up about her own life--both personal and professional--the risks she's taken, and the lessons she's learned from her film and stage career, 20-year marriage (and recent seperation), raising her daughter, and her successful struggle with rheumatoid arthritis.

In SEND YOURSELF ROSES Turner recounts why she took the roles she did--from her film debut as the sultry schemer in Body Heat to her subsequent craft-stretching roles in Peggy Sue Got Married (for which she received an Academy award nomination), Romancing the Stone, Prizzi's Honor, The War of the Roses, and Serial Mom. And she discusses her recent resurgence on the stage with Tony nominations in her roles as Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate and as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, for which she also won the a British Evening Standard Award.

Review

"A real page Turner." (NY Post Cindy Adams )

"Turner's vision of life's many possibilities--even as she gets older--is surely inspiring." (Publishers Weekly )

"Through all of her roles--personal, professional, and in service to others--Kathleen Turner stays true to herself, and I admire that. Send Yourself Roses is an intimate and fun read about an exceptional actress who is also a very gutsy, out-there woman." (Jane Fonda )

"Kathleen has always told it like it is. She has good insight, a great sense of humor and Send Yourself Roses is an enjoyable read." (Michael Douglas )
