Romance on the Movie Set - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It's been happening since the creation of movies. Long nights, lots of downtime, attractive people, exotic locations....often spells romance for actors.

President Ronald Reagan met both of his wives, first Jane Wyman, then Nancy Davis, while filming movies with them.

Huge scandal back in the 60s when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton fell in love during the filming of 'Cleopatra'. They were both married to others at the time, and eventually married each other, twice.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell met on the set of 1984's 'Swing Shift'.

Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe had the fling heard round the world while filming, 'Proof of Life'. It didn't last but ended her marriage to Dennis Quaid.

Others?

Interesting to note that Spielberg was still married to Amy Irving at the time...

Didn't Director James Cameron leave his wife for Linda Hamilton while filming The Terminator, only to leave Linda for someone else while filming Titantic?

Who's on first?

Dean Winchester · 09-13-2004, 07:55 PM

I remember it was big news when he dumped Linda Hamilton for Suzy Amis who had a role in Titanic. She took him to the cleaners financially.

I recall reading that Linda had been Cameron's 'other woman' at one time as well. They had a child in 1993. I believe they met on the set of one of the Terminator films.
