James Cameron: Gale Anne Hurd
built 217 days ago
Ellison was not particularly interested in suing James Cameron over the matter, but unfortunately there was physical evidence that was difficult for Ellison's attorneys to ignore. James Cameron and girlfriend (and Terminator producer) Gale Anne Hurd had contacted Starlog magazine and demanded that they send the galleys of the as-yet unpublished interview the magazine had conducted with James Cameron about The Terminator. When Starlog refused, Hurd threatened to sue them, so then sent the material. From: Shapiro, pages 130-131:

It was in Rome that James Cameron had a nightmare about a relentless robot from the future; he flew back to the States and wrote The Terminator based on that nightmare. He ... teamed up with young producer Gale Anne Hurd and sold the script to her for one dollar, with the stipulation that he would be the one to direct it.

James Cameron spent so much time working at Roger Corman's New World Studio, that he spent less and less time with his wife, Sharon Williams. He eventually rented an apartment near New World Studio in Hollywood, so he would not have to make the long daily commute back to Brea. Cameron drifted apart from his wife and began an affair with fellow New Line employee Gale Anne Hurd (an executive and producer). Cameron eventually divorced Sharon and married Hurd.
