Michael Douglas reveals affair with Kathleen Turner during Romancing the Stone filming
Michael Douglas says in his memoir that he and Kathleen Turner had a relationship while filming the 1984 adventure film *Romancing the Stone*, after denying the rumour for four decades.

He describes the affair as ending after Luker’s visit; he and Luker divorced in 2000, the year he married Catherine Zeta-Jones.
