Very well said, macsrose. This makes Kathleen look even worse than she does in that picture. If there were any truth to what she said, it should come from someone other than Kathleen. Anyone should know better than to brag on oneself especially in such terms as these. Kathleen did well in her movies but she has no right trying to discredit Elizabeth Taylor. How rude and obnoxious. She must be hitting the bottle again to be making such remarks.

Too bad you get too old that you don't watch what you're saying about your peers (in this case I don't know even if Kathleen can be considered equal to Elizabeth Taylor).
Ms. Taylor has had a wonderful acting career and to stoop to this low level and ridicule her shows how desperate Kathleen is this late in her life.

I used to think you were beautiful; now you're just a bitter old hag. At least Elizabeth Taylor was incredible to look at in those movies! Elizabeth Taylor is timeless and classy.

Liz got over for her beauty and Kathleen gets over because she can play the leading lady AND the leading man. Hey..whatever it takes to make a buck!

Why is Kathleen Turner slamming Elizabeth Taylor now? Is she that hard up for publicity?Elizabeth Taylor is a great actress.You don't win Oscars unless your fellow Actors feel you can act!Watch,A place in the Sun,Giant,and any other E.T movies,and you will see how easily she made the tranformation from child star to Actress!Sounds like sour grapes,and looks like Kathleen has eaten some by looking at that picture.Miss Taylor has so much class,that she will probably not dignify Ms.Turner's comments.Also Miss Taylor is one of the most beautiful women of our time.time has not been kind to Kathleen.Stop drinking Kathleen,you have way too much time on your hands!

Elizabeth Taylor had lost her husband Mike Todd in a tragic plane crash during the filming of "Cat on a hot tin roof". She was a mere 25 years old, and she was/is sensational in the film as Maggie the Cat. Ms. Turner in her wildest dreams could/has never come close to being comparable to Elizabeth Taylor's greatness.
Elizabeth Taylor was only 32 when she filmed "Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf?" Not only was she brilliant as Martha, but she was nolonger Elizabeth Taylor in the last frame of the film. She was Martha. Martha's character was a 57 year old woman. Furthermore, Elizabeth Taylor won the oscar for best
actress for her performance. Ms. Turner is Martha personified by virtue of her age, weight, and personality. All she had to do was be herself.

Ha Ha In the white corner we have Kath lean no way Turner weighing in at 375. And in the red corner we have Elizabeth Taylor aging in at 97.6 with a lot of slack flub hanging, well just hanging off her. Lets have a clean fight old sows and may the best hog win bring on the marshmallows and the chocolate coated gummy bears no eating below the belt. Lets get readyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tooooooooooo gobble.

A true actress with beauty & brains will never diss another actress & brag abt herself.. Kathleen juz made herself sound like a perfect fool & she only has herself to thank!

Elizabeth Taylor is a beauty in all ways. She doesnt have to answer to fools that act out of jealousy, way to dignified for that. Kathleen your a great actress but a fool for your comments.

Look into the mirror Ms. Turner, do you like what you see? Instead of spending your time critizing others--work on your appearance!

FFS, people get the facts. Kathleen Turner has rheumatoid arthritis and the steroids she takes for the disease make people gain weight and get puffy. If you want to slam her statements, fine, but what does her weight have to do with anything?

Oh why don't some of you just leave Kathleen alone. Somewhere inside of her is a good hearted person.
