Kathleen Turner, 69, spotted on rare NYC outing using a cane

Hollywood star Kathleen Turner was spotted out on a rare stroll in Manhattan on Monday.

It was the first photographed sighting of the “Romancing the Stone” star, who was born Mary Kathleen Turner, since she attended a screening of Bradley Cooper’s Oscar-nominated “Maestro” in New York in November.

Turner, 69, wore a long black overcoat and used a cane as she walked in Soho and along Canal Street.

Turner’s heyday at the movies was during the 1980s, when the actress was propelled to superstardom by the thriller “Body Heat.”

She then made a slew of films over that decade, such as “Prizzi’s Honor” and “The Accidental Tourist.” 

But she’s perhaps best remembered for playing an adventuring novelist in 1984’s “Romancing the Stone,” directed by Robert Zemeckis, and its sequel “The Jewel of the Nile” a year later. In both, her co-star was Michael Douglas.

Turner admitted in an interview last year that she and Douglas, who was separated from his wife at the time, Diandra Luker, very nearly put the romance in “Romancing.”

“I think we might have been falling in love,” Turner told the Guardian. “But then Diandra flew down and made it clear that she did not consider Michael to be available. So that ended that, because I can’t get involved with another woman’s relationship. But oh my, that attention is delicious!”

She didn’t get the man, but soon after she got an Oscar nod — Best Actress for 1986’s “Peggy Sue Got Married,” directed by Francis Ford Coppola and co-starring Nicolas Cage.

Later in the aughts, while taking on smaller film and TV roles, Turner became a well-regarded stage actress. 

She was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress twice — in 1990 for playing Maggie in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and then in 2005 for taking on the venomous Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” For “Cat,” she received a special Outstanding Broadway Debut Tony.

Turner also caused a stir on Broadway in 2002 for baring skin in “The Graduate.” 

The Post’s critic Clive Barnes said, “In the play’s notorious nude scene, [Turner] no-nonsensically reveals a great deal more than a coy Nicole Kidman did in similar circumstances. Mind you, Turner has a great deal more to reveal.”

More recently, the still-working actress reunited with co-star Douglas for a 2021 episode of “The Kominsky Method.”

“He’s such a good friend,” she told the Guardian. “It made it very easy to play ex-husband and wife. In a funny way, we were. Not that I ever married the man — never would have, never could have!”
