Michael Douglas Reveals Long-Hidden Affair
In his upcoming memoir titled One Helluva Ride, Michael Douglas admits to having a secret romantic relationship with Kathleen Turner while filming 'Romancing the Stone' in 1984. The affair occurred when Douglas was separated but still married to Diandra Luker, and both actors had been denying rumors of their romance for decades.
Kathleen Turner's Response
Turner, now 72 years old, reacted with a lighthearted statement to People magazine: "Good heavens what a fuss about something 40 years ago!" She expressed her love for Douglas and anticipation of reading his book. The affair ended when Luker confronted Turner on set, leading Douglas to return to his wife.
The Affair's Impact
Douglas describes the relationship as more than a fleeting romance, noting that they were "immediately attracted" to each other and kept their affair hidden from everyone, including co-stars Danny DeVito and director Robert Zemeckis. The memoir provides insight into how audiences believed in their onscreen chemistry for years.
Continuing Friendship
The pair later worked together again in films like 'The War of the Roses' and 'The Kominsky Method,' maintaining a strong professional relationship despite past complications. Their friendship endures, with Douglas seeking Turner's blessing before revealing their secret romance in his memoir.
