TURNER TURNS THEATRE DIRECTOR

Actress KATHLEEN TURNER has turned theatre director and is thrilling audiences at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts with her stage-directing debut. The Romancing The Stone star is midway through a run of Beth Henley play Crimes Of The Heart at the festival. And Turner admits her directorial style owes a lot to filmmakers John Huston and Francis Ford Coppola, who directed her in the movies Prizzi's Honor and Peggy Sue Got Married respectively. The 53-year-old says, "I learned a lot from them - Huston and Coppola."
