Kathleen is the nicest person when you meet her. I used to work at the Reebok Sports Club in manhattan. She came in there regularly and I was just a staffer who handed out towels and keys to lockers. And she was incredibly nice to me every time. Always smiling and friendly. I'll always respect her for that.

I loved her since I was a kid, loved her movies. I was diagnosed with RA at 35 it's horrible.

I loved her on movies, I have RA too. It is horribly painful.

Indeed. I just rewatched Romancing The Stone, not ten minutes ago, and she was so wonderful in it, as she was in so many other films.
