SYNOPSIS

The legendary Kathleen Turner, who in her decades-spanning career has starred in classics like Body Heat and Serial Mom, iconically voiced Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and scored an Oscar nomination for Peggy Sue Got Married, will be in person for a Q&A for The War of the Roses on Wednesday, June 11. 

 

In this blackest of comedies, a perfect 18-year marriage suddenly becomes unglued and the gleefully evil Barbara (Kathleen Turner) and Oliver (Michael Douglas) Rose single-mindedly inflict as much misery as possible on each other. Rather than just get divorced, they declare war, fighting to the bitter end over their huge mansion and every possession in it. Not even the calculating guidance of Oliver's lawyer (Danny DeVito) can stop this uncompromisingly nasty two some as their vicious battle sends them on an increasingly dark and dangerous path.
