The Daredevil 1,189 Posted August 28 Iconic 80s Hollywood actress, known for starring roles in Body Heat, Romancing the Stone and Prizzi's Honor, among others. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the early 90s which caused her immense pain and forced her to use drugs which severely altered her body. These recent photos from April show the long lasting effects. Having recently turned 70, I can see her going at 71 like her Body Heat co-star, William Hurt. In any case, time for a specific thread for this once goddess of the screen. Also, last week fell ill during Ogunquit musical, misses final performances 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 355 Posted August 28 Wow to think she has been battling such pain for over 30 years. She is a great actress, and she was wonderful in any roles she played. I hope you will be wrong this time my friend that she only has a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted August 28 "Goddess of the screen"? Will die aged 71 from "arthritis"? You sure do talk a lot of total shit Daredevil. Another undeserved thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve 604 Posted August 28 Whilst I don't necessarily agree she will die at 71 i am in support of this thread. I lost a friend in 2003 from complications resulting from rheumatoid arthritis and she was younger than Kathleen Turner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, bonus points for playing Chandler's dad (yep!) in a guest starring role on Friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
