Michael Douglas made a surprise visit to broadway on Tuesday to support his friend and actress KATHLEEN TURNER as she made her big comback on the stage.
Turner stars as Sister Jamison Connelly, a nun and counsellor who has to treat a drug addict, in new play High, which marks her first return to the Manhattan stage since her 2005 Tony Award-nominated role in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Douglas has starred opposite three movies with Turner and famously played her husband in the 1989 comedy 'The War of the roses,' about a couple in the midst of a divorce, refusing to leave the house that they both love so much. The pair have been friends for more than 25 years since starring opposite each other for the first time in 1984 comedy Romancing the Stone.
Turner's performances proved to be a hit - drama critic Joe Dziemianowicz from the New York Times praised her for bringing an "irresistible gusto to a star turn filled with virtues. Her work is credible, clean and honest."
It was nice to see Douglas up on his feet again after his recent battle with throat cancer. The star seemed healthy and happy, as he waved to photographers before taking his seat in the theatre.
He is currently locked in a lawsuit with his ex wife Diandra Luker over loss of royalties from remade movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
