“Miss Turner has angry eyes. I thought so when she first appeared, in Body Heat… No matter how obliging, overwarm, and available her Matty made herself in that film, didn't the eyes warn us of danger and intrigue too heady for Ned Racine? She could not keep the warning light of Femme Fatale out of her eyes….

“It was a remarkable debut… Along with her eyes was a voice that had an unaccountable harshness--did it come from the years spent in Latin America as her diplomat father got posted around? There was a strength in the woman that seemed likely to break out. It was not entirely comfortable, and the career has been hard to track.”

“…. [S]he did her best with the designer by day and hooker by night in Crimes of Passion….”
