The Kathleen Turner of today looks dramatically different to the Kathleen Turner of the 1980s, but we are approaching forty years since her first film appearance, so that's not unexpected. She couldn't maintain the 'sexy' roles forever, but she's managed to stay busy. 'Dumb and Dumber' was probably the pick of her 90s movie work, but she found more success by heading to the smaller screen.
Younger audiences probably recognize Turner from one of two parts; either Chandler's dad (she played a cross-dresser) in 'Friends,' or her multiple appearances in 'Californication.' Just being able to perform at all means the world to Turner - she was diagnosed with severe arthritis in the mid-90s and told that she'd inevitably end up in a wheelchair, but she overcame the illness. Away from the screen, she ended up in a bizarre 2008 lawsuit with Nicholas Cage over claims she'd made in her autobiography that he once stole a chihuahua from her.

One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party.

Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
