With production on their long-anticipated Dumb and Dumber To imminent, writers/directors Bobby and Peter Farrelly have officially added the sequel’s first new cast member.
Turner, star of classics like Body Heat, Romancing the Stone and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, recently starred in director Anne Renton’s comedy drama The Perfect Family.
The Farrelly Brothers tweeted this about Turner’s role.
“Kathleen Turner is officially in Dumb an Dumber To,” they write. “She plays Fraida Felcher–the legendary hose-hound from Cranston!”
Fans of the original Dumb and Dumber will recall Felcher’s name from the scene where Harry and Lloyd share a hot tub together, awakening some memories of a past relationship in Harry. Harry explains that he and Fraida, a “babe who worked for the tractor company” stayed together at a similar place, the No-Tell Motel on Route 31. Sadly, their relationship ended a week later when Fraida sent Harry a John Deere letter.
