"The Perfect Family": Kathleen Turner Strikes a Hit for Indie Movies

One of my reasons for loving indie movies is their ability to offer refuge to those talents cast away by the mechanics of the merciless Hollywood machinery. Women of a certain age see their roles dwindle. Like Goldie Hawn famously said in “The First Wives Club” (Hugh Wilson, 1996), “There are only three ages for women: babe, District Attorney, and ‘Driving Miss Daisy.’” It is even more true when it comes to the movie business. Consider the case of Kathleen Turner.
