===Theatre work and Broadway debut===
In 1973, Turner spent the summer with her mother in [[Midland, Texas]]. There, at the [[Yucca Theater (Midland, Texas)#The Summer Mummers|Yucca Theater]], Turner made history when she was cast as the first female villain in the [[Yucca Theater (Midland, Texas)|Summer Mummers]] 1973 [[melodrama]], ''Plodding Among the Planets''.

Several months after moving to New York City in 1977, Turner took over the female lead in Michael Zetter's play ''Mister T'', which co-starred [[Jonathan Frakes]] and played at [[Soho Repertory Theatre]]. That production marked her [[off-Broadway]] debut. Several months later, Turner made her [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] debut as Judith Hastings in ''[[Gemini (play)|Gemini]]'' by [[Albert Innaurato]], staged at The Little Theatre (now known as the [[Helen Hayes Theater]]) and starring [[Danny Aiello]].
