...rock 'n' roll. Next Turner's fans will get a chance to see her strut her tuff in Mad Max III, the Road Warrior sequel to be released this summer. For the latest installment of the adventure series, set in postapocalypse Australia, Turner, 46, plays Aunty Entity, the hardhearted ruler of a barbaric outpost known as Bartertown.
