Join us for a Q&A with actor Kathleen Turner as she discusses her work on the 1986 fantasy comedy/drama, Peggy Sue Got Married.

One of Francis Ford Coppola's warmest, sweetest films, Peggy Sue Got Marriedfollows a woman who magically revisits her senior year of high school. At turns funny, poignant, and rueful, Peggy Sue is an extraordinary showcase for the seemingly limitless talents of actor Kathleen Turner who received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Replete with Oscar-nominated cinematography from the great Jordan Cronenweth and edited by Barry Malkin, ACE, this wonderful film about regret and second chances stands as a major highlight in the career of Turner and one of Coppola's most under-appreciated works.
