The sultry and intense thriller “Body Heat,” starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner, made its debut in theaters on this day in 1981. The film, directed by Lawrence Kasdan, quickly became known for its steamy love scenes and complex plot.

Did You Know? William Hurt and Kathleen Turner took an unusual approach to break the ice with the film crew—they introduced themselves naked to ensure the crew wouldn’t feel uncomfortable during the many intimate scenes they had to shoot together. Their commitment to the film’s authenticity left a lasting impression on everyone involved.
