Has anyone ever been able to make your pants explode just by talking like Kathleen Turner? Born 70 years ago this day, the husky-voiced hottie has the distinction of making the world lust after a 2-dimensional cartoon character with her portrayal of the uber-curvacious Jessica Rabbit in 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit? But Kathleen was already one of the 80s greatest sex symbols by then, ever since kicking off her film career and the decade with one of the steamiest crime dramas ever, 1981’s Body Heat.
The Best of Kathleen Turner Nude
Kathleen goes bare six times in Body Heat, including a brief fully nude moment before she puts on a robe.

Then in 1984, director Ken Russell cast her to play a fashionista who moonlights as a sex worker in Crimes of Passion, and audiences got an even better look at her magnificent melons.

After that, she’d bed both Rutger Hauer and Jack Nicholson in A Breed Apart and Prizzi’s Honor, respectively. Basically, if a movie called for a passionate roll in the hay, Kathleen was the perfect choice.

Her last sizzling sex scene was with Gabriel Byrne in the 1987 thriller Julia and Julia, though her last bit of nudity came when she flashed a nip while canoodling with costar Michael Douglas in 1989’s The War of the Roses.

Looking back, Kathleen managed to pack an impressive amount of nudity into a short time, but we’re still holding out hope Ms. Turner will turn heads in the 21st century by baring her body again. But until then, we'll just have to enjoy the birthday girl in her birthday suit on Mr. Skin!
