Okay, I'm not looking for a fight. And I do respect your point of view. I just don't agree.
And you're right I don't know any of these people, but I do ( and you can choose to believe me or not- it's up to you entirely and I won't feel offended if you don't LoL) have a very good friend who knows Kate very well, and she only has positive things to say about her. I've never catched her on a lie before so I'm taking her word for it.
Let me just make reply to this:
"Amy Irving being "innoncent" in her motives for catching Steven Spielberg is not the point. Amy Irving staked her claim and Kate Capshaw stole it! "
Who says she is the one initiating the whole affair?
"From what I've observed marriages in show business are just too vulnerable. Who knows, perhaps Kate Capshaw fullfilled Steven Spielberg on a deep level that Amy Irving just could not and painful decisions had to be made"
That's the point I was trying to bring accross, without breaking my friends confidence. Marriage #1 was rocky and very vulnerable, marriage #2 is much more solid and able to weather storms that may occur, better.
It's interesting that Amy and Kate are getting along rather well. So whatever happened in the past, that's were they left it. Maybe everybody else should as well.
I'm not claiming to have any hot inside informartion, just basing it on things I've heard from a person I trust. That's all.
Me? I'm the eternal optimist. The glass is always half full on this end -

Sure. And Amy's the sweet innocent victim in all this I assume?
Wasn't she the one who came running back in the mid 80's
after
Spielberg made ET and added a few mil to his account? had nothing to do with that, I bet
The stories that
could
be told about "poor" Amy
Amy has her own career. Granted not as money making as his but its not like she rolled off the hay cart. Her parents were a Producer and an actor also. She came from the business and from money.
Why are you so angry?

"He married her. Now she has it all, including the old buzzard himself. "geoh777
Old Buzzard? Wow, that's not an accurate description of Steven Spielberg. I saw that guy introduce his film at the premiere of " A.I." when it was released and the man was in shape. He also had the GLOW (personal magnetism or nerve force). The man will live to be a hundred. Anyway, I'm amazed this thread is still going. I guess it's a real issue with people that Kate Capshaw destroyed Steven Spielberg's marriage and then married him herself. I guess at heart America is pretty conservative on these issues. I'm not judging either way, I'm just saying.

Not only thatbut Capshaw spent several years and put tireless and ongoing effort into trying to finally seduce him away from his then-family. She would send him letters, show up to places where she knew he would be, etc.
I can't believe he gave into that kind of desperate nonsense. -

She didn't give up anything for him. She never stopped acting. That's a crock of beep Her career wasn't exactly spectacular before they married, was it?
At the time, it wasn't pocket change to him. It was a big percentage of his worth. And she got a piece of his royalties from his movies to that point. -

UmmAmy Irving ended that marriage. Spielberg's high profile life was too much for her. They had dated & broken up once in the late 70s. It was Spielberg who pursued Amy in tda0he early 80s. I was working in India at the time, and I still remember Spielberg visiting her in India on the "The Far Pavilions" locations. It was big news there. I think he was on a recce in India for "Temple of Doom". Kate Capshaw got into a relationship with Spielberg well after the marriage ended. I'm from that generation and remember the course of events as covered by the media back then. I've also read interviews with Amy where she was quite open about how she wanted a simpler life than Speilberg, who was at the peak of his celebrity at the time.
I agree $100 mill is peanuts for that man. -

There's been a lot of back and forth going on between Irving and Capshaw from the early 80's
Spielberg changed 'teams' halfway the TOD shoot, and the other way around during Last crusade.
round 1
Spielberg/Irving were
not
a couple when shooting of temple of doom began
he got together with caphaw on the Doom set
Met irving halfway the shoot, broke things of with capshaw
married irving
round 2
'89 Spielberg left irving for capshaw - though the marriage was over long before that.
I know someone who's witnessed it all - and the aftermath - from close by.
(funny how it's all tied up with two out of three Indi5b4ana jones films LoL)

Irving and Spielberg were going out from 1976 to around 1980. (She was originally going to play Marion in the first Indiana Jones but the two broke up before filming began) They didn't get back together until after Yentl in 1984. Capshaw and Spielberg had a relationship or "fling" in 1983. Capshaw was still seeing Spielberg while he was with Irving, although Capshaw was trying to start a relationship with another $$$ director Brian DePalma. Funnily enough DePalma was the man Irving was chasing after while filming Carrie but DePalma liked Nancy Allen and they got married.
It seems young actresses run after the directors for a) work and b) financial protection, as well as a relationship. Look at Irving's mother herself Priscilla Pointer, she married her stage director WAY back -

You're apparently unaware of how life and marriage in most states works offhand, I'd say you're quite a fool. When a marriage ends, without extenuating circumstances, all assets are split down the middle that's the starting point. I'd suggest you save your smartass comments and opinions for something you actually know a little about. Without that prenup, she'd have gotten one hell of a lot more.
