SEND YOURSELF ROSES Thoughts on My Life, Love, and Leading Roles

In this heartfelt performance of her 2008 memoir, actor Kathleen Turner's famously smoky voice is as enticing as always, if a bit more smoky than it once was. Turner-the-actor possesses timing, fearlessness, and strong characterization skills. All of those, plus absolute honesty, make SEND YOURSELF ROSES a moving and involving listening experience for her many fans, as well as young actors, for there's a good amount of acting craft shared along with her personal story. And what a story it is--famous roles; fellow actors; marriage and efforts to conceive; social commentary; her battle with rheumatoid arthritis and substance abuse, and more. Turner is brave and interesting, and if her voice cracks with emotion occasionally, well, so much the better. A.C.S. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2017]
