Kathleen Turner has always lived her life according to her own rules. The screen icon opens up about her own life--both personal and professional--the risks she's taken, and the lessons she's learned from her film and stage career, 20-year marriage (and recent separation), raising her daughter, and her successful struggle with rheumatoid arthritis. Turner recounts why she took the roles she did--from her film debut as the sultry schemer in Body Heat to her subsequent craft-stretching roles in Peggy Sue Got Married (for which she received an Academy award nomination), Romancing the Stone, Prizzi's Honor, The War of the Roses, and Serial Mom. And she discusses her recent resurgence on the stage with Tony nominations in her roles as Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate and as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, for which she also won the a British Evening Standard Award.--Publisher description.

In Grosse Pointe, Michigan, in the middle 1970s, live the five golden Lisbon girls, each of them blond, sweet, and impossibly beautiful. Ranging in age from 13 to 17, they have enchanted a group of neighborhood boys, who watch them through windows with binoculars, collect souvenirs of them, and fixate on them to such a degree that they never outgrow it. Lux, Cecilia, Bonnie, Mary, and Therese are beyond reach because their strict Catholic parents have, in response to the tenor of the times, nearly imprisoned them in their own home. The girls, preserved forever in the perfection they possessed when they were last seen, were waiting to be understood. Instead, they were simply loved. They animate one of the most unusual films ever fashioned out of the fears and the fantasies of adolescent boys.
