Michael Douglas' Memoir: Affair with Kathleen Turner Revealed

Michael Douglas' recently published memoir, "One Helluva Ride," has brought to light a 40-year secret: an affair with actress Kathleen Turner. The romance reportedly occurred while they were filming "Romancing the Stone." Douglas shared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, has no intention of reading about his past exploits. He explained that due to their 25-year age difference, Zeta-Jones was only seven years old when the affair took place.

Douglas obtained permission from Turner before including the sensitive details in his book. He revealed that he asked Turner if it was time to share their story, to which she agreed. She also gave her consent for other anecdotes within the memoir. Turner herself has responded to the news, stating she loves Michael and is eager to read "One Helluva Ride."

The memoir, released on Tuesday, covers several of Douglas' romantic relationships throughout his life. Many of these events occurred during his first marriage to Diandra Luker, from 1977 to 2000. Douglas has stated he secured permission from numerous women before writing about their shared pasts.
