Join us for a special program at the Newseum with Academy Award and Tony Award nominee Kathleen Turner.
Academy Award and Tony Award nominee Kathleen Turner appears in a special evening program at the Newseum to talk about her role as legendary newspaper columnist Molly Ivins in the play, "Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins." The play opens Aug. 23 at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C.
"Red Hot Patriot" is a one-woman show about Ivins combining personal anecdotes with her take on the world of politics. Ivins, who died in 2007, was a liberal political humorist for The Texas Observer, the Dallas Times Herald and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. She skewered the political establishment and mocked politicians with her sharp wit that made her one of America's highest-regarded columnists.
Turner has starred in several acclaimed movies including "Body Heat," "Romancing the Stone," "Prizzi's Honor," "War of the Roses" and "Peggy Sue Got Married," which earned her an Academy Award nomination.
Turner has also starred in many Broadway productions including "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" which both earned her a Tony Award nomination.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
