Sting: Kathleen Turner Doesn’t Turn Me On
Steve Turner, You, 28 February 1988
Erstwhile teacher turned pop musician Sting spent a week writhing naked on a bed with Kathleen Turner for his new film Julia and Julia. His verdict? "Not arousing in the least." And the critics verdict on the film? "Hopelessly silly, third-rate." But Sting isnt out for Hollywood stardom. He just wants to be a better actor.
