"Oh, I was yearning, babe, but he was still married [to first wife Diandra Luker] ... although they were separated, and so I thought there was hope for me," she admitted.
"It was that wonderful sexual tension, you know?" she continued. "When you really, really know you want somebody — and I'm saying it went both ways — and you can't have them. It's just lovely."

PEOPLE caught up with Turner and Douglas in 2021, as they reunited for The Kominsky Method, with Douglas celebrating how the two "know each other so well."
"You protect and cherish when you've got a good relationship," the Oscar winner told PEOPLE, sharing that working with Turner again was "so much fun."
"It just is a comfort factor. Then you get to see it on screen and [realize], 'Oh, this is really good,' " he said.
"It was a no-brainer," Turner said of the decision. "They say it's like slipping on an old shoe, which I assume means that it's one of your favorite things. And that's how it feels."
