Katheleen Turner Falls On Face After Night Of Boozing


Actress KATHLEEN TURNER's boozing has become so wild, she was found collapsed on the floor of the ladies' room in a posh New York restaurant. The Serial Mom (1994) star smashed her face so badly at classy Manhattan eatery Orso that she needed stitches to close the wounds, according to American publication the Globe.

Sources say Turner's husband, real estate mogul Jay Weiss, was called and soon arrived with a female staffer. A friend says, "Kathleen was reeking of booze, slurring her words and almost broke her neck leaving the restaurant. The smell of alcohol was overpowering. She was rambling incoherently and, on the way out, she stumbled on the stairs. If her escorts hadn't caught her, it would have been really bad. The next day she was treated, and her lip was stitched up by her Park Avenue plastic surgeon. "

The sultry star of Body Heat (1981) and Romancing The Stone (1984) had to cancel a photo shoot with famed photographer MELVIN SOKOLSKY for Broadway play The Graduate because of her injured face. Turner's representative insists the star slipped at home and hit her mouth on a table. But the actress has been battling the bottle for years and admitted attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in 1994. (RGS/TG/NFA)
