Kathleen Turner Pretended To Be An Alcoholic

In order to get work!...

Monday 14th Nov 2005

Kathleen Turner Pretended To Be An Alcoholic
?Jewel of the Nile? actress Kathleen Turner has admitted that she pretended to be an alcoholic in order to hide the fact she had rheumatoid arthritis.

Turner, 51, feared that she would be unable to get work if the truth about her condition was known.

Speaking to the New York Daily News she said: "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."

That?s the state of Hollywood today kids?
