Douglas spoke about their relationship in his memoir "One Hell of a Ride," which is due out on October 6. According to him, it was not a fleeting affair but serious feelings that arose through their close work on the film.
The romance ended after Douglas’s wife arrived
At the time, Douglas was living separately from his wife, Diandra Luker, but they were still officially married. According to the actor, Luker suspected the affair and came to the film set in Mexico with their son.
Douglas claims that his wife spoke with Turner and made it clear that their marriage was not yet over. After that, Turner decided not to interfere, and their romance ended.
Later, Douglas and Turner worked together again on the sequel to "Romancing the Stone"—the film "The Jewel of the Nile." According to the actor, it was then that they were finally able to leave their past feelings behind and restore a friendly professional relationship.
