Golden Globe–winning actress Kathleen Turner has a simple request for photographers these days: drop the first name. Turner made a rare red carpet appearance Tuesday at the New York premiere of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, where she gently corrected the usual chorus of photographers shouting “Kathleen!” for pictures. Making her way down to her seat on the carpet with a cane, the 71-year-old paused when she heard the calls and offered a new preference. “You know what I really enjoy, at this age? Miss Turner,” she told the photographers. The press quickly got the message. Several photographers began calling out “Miss Turner,” with one earning a wink of approval from the actress. The appearance marked Turner’s first red carpet outing of 2026 and ended a months-long hiatus from public premieres. Her last major carpet appearance came in August 2025, during the promotion of the remake of The Roses, a new take on her 1989 classic The War of the Roses. Turner rose to fame in the 1980s with a string of hits and became known for frequent collaborations with actor Michael Douglas. Her most recent film role came in the 2022 dark comedy The Estate.
