## Key points

- Douglas says he does not feel bad about the revelations.
- His memoir confirms affairs with Kathleen Turner and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
- He says both relationships took place while he was separated from Luker.

## Summary

Michael Douglas said he does not feel bad about revealing past affairs in his memoir, saying they happened “before Catherine” and that he thinks his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, understands. The revelations matter because they confirm long-denied relationships with former co-stars and revisit Douglas’s marriage to his first wife, Diandra Luker.

In the book, Douglas says he and Kathleen Turner began a relationship while filming *Romancing the Stone* in 1983, when he and Luker were separated, and ended it after she visited the set with their son. He also describes an affair with Jeanne Tripplehorn during the making of *Basic Instinct* in 1992, saying he was ready to leave Luker for her. Turner said she loves Douglas and looked forward to reading the book; Tripplehorn has not commented publicly.
