The “Body Heat and Romancing the Stone,” star, who has been open about her health struggles, made a rare public appearance.

Kathleen Turner appeared noticeably frail during a recent outing in New York City. Her appearance has sparked a wave of emotional reactions from fans, many of whom expressed deep concern and empathy for the 70-year-old star.

Turner was seen relying on a walker and the assistance of two companions as she moved toward a waiting car. Dressed in a long, dark coat layered over a blue sweater and paired with black pants and sneakers, Turner seemed unsteady on her feet as she navigated the sidewalk.

Her pictures from the outing were shared online and fans shared their opinions on her wellbeing. A fan pointed out, “She’s not well.” One person couldn’t hold back their heartbreak, noting, She is really suffering – RA very painful – even to walk – – meds cause significant weight gain , affects internally and facial appearance- Grace 🙏🏻🙏🏻”

Another observant person wrote, “Look at her hands. She obviously has arthritis and probably other autoimmune diseases as well.” A viewer seemed shocked by a detail they spotted, writing, “Wow her hand has turned white.”

An emotional fan commented, “I love her 💗 It hurts me that she is suffering with such pain.” Hoping for a positive turn, one supporter shared, “Oh man… she has trouble walking 😢😢… love her … praying it’s some temporary ailment.” One more person expressed their feelings in a few words, “Geez. Hard to see. God bless.”

Turner has previously spoken candidly about her decades-long battle with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that targets joints and internal organs, which was first diagnosed while her acting career was thriving in the early 1990s.
