Kathleen Turner<\/strong> is a legend of stage and screen, and it’s always a privilege to see her working the red carpet.<\/p>\n The legendary actress, 71, made a rare appearance at the New York City premiere of The Roses at the Hudson Theatre on Monday. The black comedy, based on the 1981 novel\u00a0The War of the Roses\u00a0by\u00a0Warren Adler<\/strong>, tells the story of a couple, Ivy and Theo, played by Benedict Cumberbatch<\/strong> and Olivia Colman<\/strong>, who face a crossroads in their troubled relationship. Andy Samberg<\/strong>,\u00a0Kate McKinnon<\/strong>,\u00a0and Allison Janney<\/strong> have supporting roles in the film.<\/p>\n It would only be appropriate to have Turner at the premiere of the film, since she starred opposite Michael Douglas<\/strong> in the 1989 film adaptation of the book, which was a runaway hit directed by Danny DeVito<\/strong>. The legendary actress wore a full-length black dress for the occasion, along with black sandals. While her arm was in a sling, there was no word about the cause of her injury. She also walked with a cane. Smiling brightly for the camera, Turner appeared happy to be at the big event.<\/p>\n (Photo by Dia Dipasupil\/WireImage)(Photo by Dia Dipasupil/WireImage)<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac\u00a0<\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Turner made it clear from the start that she was comfortable with the film being remade, despite being such an iconic part of the original. Ahead of the premiere, she told USA TODAY<\/a> that she would be there to support it, no matter what.<\/p>\n \u201cI do plan to see The Roses at the premiere in NYC,\u201d she told the paper ahead of the big premiere. \u201cShould be fun and I have a bet with myself that they don\u2019t die,\u201d she added, referencing several wild scenes from the original film when the couple battled each other.<\/p>\n Looking back on her time making the film with Douglas, Turner shared that the feelings that come with making a movie about divorce can be heavy. However, the stars made sure to keep their relationships intact.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember that sometimes the anger seemed too real, so we made a pact that no one left set without hugging the others!” Turner said. “I don\u2019t think these are the feelings brought up by divorce \u2212 at least I surely hope not.”<\/p>\n Turner also has a big fan in Cumberbatch, who said he was a big fan of the original.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was an iconic film that we both remember from our youth,\u201d he told the publication, \u201cand (we\u2019re) big Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas fans.\u201d<\/p>\n Related: \u201880s Femme Fatale, 70, Makes Rare Appearance as Her Iconic 1989 Film Gets a Modern Reboot<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Aug 26, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
