Michael Douglas says he had a relationship with his “Romancing the Stone” co-star Kathleen Turner while they were filming the movie. Multiple outlets report that Douglas discusses the connection in his memoir, after previously denying it for decades.

The accounts describe the relationship as having begun during production and being kept secret for years. One outlet says the two shared a “magic spell” while working together, and also notes that Douglas’ estranged wife confronted Turner on set. Another outlet similarly frames the disclosure as Douglas revealing that he fell in love with Turner during filming and then hid the relationship for decades.

While the sources differ in how they characterize the relationship and the details they emphasize, they converge that the admission is new, tied to Douglas’ memoir, and presented as a long-denied story connected to his time making “Romancing the Stone.”
