Kathleen Turner Didn't Feel The Cast Of 'Friends' Was "There" For Her

Kathleen Turner

Kathleen Turner, who starred in hit after hit movie in the 80s and 90s - Body Heat, Prizzi’s Honor, Peggy Sue Got Married, The War of the Roses, Romancing the Stone, The Jewel of the Nile - recently shared as only she can in an excellent interview with Vulture.

Along the way, the outspoken actress was asked about her time guesting on the biggest sitcom of all time, Friends, where she played the father of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). At the time, the approach was highly criticized by the LGBTQ community as homophobic and transphobic.

Apparently, she didn't feel the cast was "there" for her.

“I’ll be quite honest, which is my wont: I didn’t feel very welcomed by the cast,” Turner says. “I remember I was wearing this difficult sequined gown — and my high heels were absolutely killing me. I found it odd that none of the actors thought to offer me a seat. Finally it was one of the older crew members that said, 'Get Miss Turner a chair.'”

“The Friends actors were such a clique — but I don’t think my experience with them was unique,” the actress shared. “I think it was simply that they were such a tight little group that nobody from the outside mattered.”

Asked how she viewed the sitcom stars as actors and actresses: “I won’t comment on that.”

It's a fabulously unfiltered interview. Highly suggested for your reading pleasure.
