Hey Jordan
Bit of topic but what did you think of The Third Story?

I liked it. It wasn't his best play but with those two hamming it up on stage, how could you not have fun?!

#27Does Kathleen Turner Sign After Matinees?
Posted: 4/7/11 at 4:16pmI understand both sides but I do think that Kathleen Turner could have just taken the picture and be done with it. The woman who wanted the picture was obviously not savvy in the ways of celebrities in such instances...she was just being naive and it was kind of sweet of her to be so eager to get a picture with an actress she admires. Hugh Jackman couldn't have been nicer at The Boy From Oz stage door and it means something to have a big star like that allow fans to do something that takes a few seconds, like snapping a photograph.

No means no. No damn way should Miss Turner have allowed that photo to be taken to appease a clueless (to put it very kindly) fan.
eta: the years and her health issues have not been kind to the woman. It is perfectly understandable if she should not wish to have her photo taken, and in any case, she has the right under ANY circumstances to refuse a fan's request, especially as they'd already been told "NO!" twice.

Posted: 4/7/11 at 4:46pmMimi, Miss Turner has NEVER taken photos with people at the stage door and there is no reason she should have made am exception for this woman who was no clueless, she was a bitch who didn't like the answer "NO" when it was given to her.

Amen, ghostlight. The older and crankier I get, the less patience I have for the ridiculous sense of entitlement people have, even for seemingly silly things like this.
I'm not one to go around quoting Peggy Noonan, but she said (about Sarah Palin, no less) something that I find very appropriate to situations like this: that we're living in a time where so, so many people have "no proper sense of inadequacy."

Posted: 4/7/11 at 4:53pmThat woman should have said "Well, Jessica Lange, I didn't want your picture anyway."

No, it wasn't cute of her. It was rude and annoying.

Possible translation: Kathleen Turner is an excellent actress and maybe has a chance at a Tony for this. I haven't seen this show, but I saw her in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and she was great in that.
Maybe...?

I could make you all jealous and post the picture Miss Turner and Miss Janet McTeer were kind enough to take with me, but it's not the best picture of me, so I'll leave you with this instead.

Posted: 4/9/11 at 7:43pmI can't believe some actually suggest that Ms. Turner SHOULD have done the picture with this bitch. But then not allow nice people to picture? What kind of sense does that make -- only allow pictures if the person is obnoxious?

It's the same logic that goes, "Didn't get want you wanted from customer service? Raise hell and they'll make you happy just to shut you up."

Posted: 4/10/11 at 8:06amwell, as someone who was raised by Disney "guest relations" i raise hell for better customer service regularly...otherwise i think the slow encroachment of us paying someone so we can help ourselves will definitely accelerate...i am still not dense enough to recognize that asking someone a favor and being rebuffed is different than getting what i'm paying for our of, say, a cell phone contract.
