James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow
James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow were married from 1989 to 1991, and they had a friendly relationship to the point that they continued to share their work. In 1989, James Cameron directed The Terminator. It was a low-budget, high-earning sci-fi thriller, and the space-horror sequel Aliens. On the other hand, Kathryn Bigelow was a toiler in B-pictures like The Loveless and Near Dark. She decided to work on Blue Steel in December 1989. It was a cop drama that starred Jamie Lee Curtis. The Marriage between James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow ended after two years. However, the two of them remained in their relationship as a mentor and ally. It was stipulated in their divorce agreement that James Cameron would produce three of her films. The first one was Point Break, and it was a crime thriller about surfers who robbed banks while wearing the masks of United States presidents. The Next was Strange Days. It was produced and co-written by James Cameron. The plot revolved around a sleazy vendor of playback clips. The third and the last was The Widowmaker from 2002, and it starred a stolid submarine actioner with Harrison Ford. Then suddenly, The Hurt Locker came. It was a film that almost missed the Golden Lion in Venice last 2008. Kathryn Bigelow won at the Directors Guild of America Awards. It took place at Britain’s Baftas, and both she and James Cameron were both presents. Avatar lost in the fight with The Hurt Locker. The film was honored both in Best Picture and Best Director. What was unique about The Hurt Locker was that it tested the audience’s moral compass. In an interview, Kathryn said, “I don’t like violence. I am very interested, however, in the truth. And violence is a fact of our lives, a part of the social context in which we live.” James Cameron complimented his former wife in his acceptance speech for best director at the Golden Globes. He said, “Frankly, I thought Kathryn was going to get this. And she richly deserves it.” It was reported that James Cameron showed an early cut of Avatar to Kathryn, and Kathryn did the same with The Hurt Locker. So even though they had divorced in 1991, they decided to continue with their professional collaborations. Kathryn Bigelow told the Sunday Times, “There is always a price for doing what you want. And I guess that price was my Marriage.”
