“I imagine we could possibly have been falling in appreciate,” Turner explained to The Guardian. “But then Diandra flew down and created it crystal clear that she did not take into account Michael to be obtainable. So that ended that for the reason that I just can’t get concerned with a further woman’s romantic relationship. But oh my, that awareness is delicious!”
She did not get the male, but quickly soon after she received an Oscar nod — Most effective Actress for 1986’s “Peggy Sue Bought Married,” directed by Francis Ford Coppola and also starring Nicolas Cage.
Afterwards in the aughts, whilst getting on scaled-down movie and Tv set roles, Turner turned a perfectly regarded stage actress.

Turner also induced a stir on Broadway in 2002 for baring skin in “The Graduate.”
