Kathleen TURNER blasts CAGE & REYNOLDS - good for her!1

[UTUSN]

I have always detested CAGE. Smarmy, sleezy, parasite. Burt, as described by Ms TURNER, is a bit of a surprise.

.... In excerpts from her upcoming autobiography, "Send Yourself Roses," now being serialized in Britain's Daily Mail, the auburn-haired beauty says Cage was a pain on the set of "Peggy Sue Got Married," directed by his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, and for which she got an Oscar nomination.

"Everything Francis wanted him to do, he went against to show that he wasn't under his uncle's wing. Which was ridiculous. Oh, that stupid voice of his and the fake teeth! Honestly, I cringe to think about it. He caused so many problems," Turner writes. "He was arrested twice for drunk driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He'd come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket."

But Cage fired back through a rep, telling Page Six he had never been arrested or stolen a dog. "While I recall Kathleen Turner being a great lady and wonderful actress, the credibility of her biography and her memory is at stake . . . Fact credibility should have been exercised on part," he said.

Working with Reynolds, Turner's co-star in "Switching Channels," was "my unhappiest experience as an actress . . . For whatever reason, the first thing Burt said to me was: 'I've never taken second billing to a woman,' " she writes. "Oh, every day there were nasty little digs. For instance, because of my pregnancy, the production team had given me a golf cart so I didn't have to walk around too much - and Burt even made fun of that. He was just nasty.

"He later accused me of trying to get him sacked . . . and publicly declared that the sound of my name made him want to vomit." ....
