Michael Douglas doesn’t ‘feel bad’ about affair revelations from ‘before Catherine’
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.
In short
- 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.
