He had met his wife, actress Joanne Whalley, when they played each other's love interests in Willow, one of my all-time favorite fantasy movies.
Some years later while he was filming "Dr. Moreau" with Brando in a South Pacific locale, he retired to his motel room one day and turned on CNN, only to hear the news that Whalley, his wife of 7 years, was divorcing him. He had no prior warning. At that point, he & Whalley had a 6 year old daughter and a newborn son.
I remember thinking, Wow! What a great way to find out your wife and the mother of your only children is leaving you ... by flipping on a TV newscast!
I remember that. I loved her in Willow. Such a beauty. Too bad she wasn’t such a nice person. But...who can say?
I like them together in the movie Kill Me Again, where she is the femme fatale!
