Diane Renee Thomas (January 7, 1946 – October 21, 1985) was an American screenwriter.
She was writing scripts and then had the opportunity to pitch Romancing the Stone to customer Michael Douglas, who later bought, directed, and starred in the film with Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito.
Early life
She was born in Sault Ste. on January 7, 1946. Marie, Michigan. When she was 12 years old, her family migrated to Long Beach, California. She attended the University of Southern California and majored in finance. During this time, she served as an advertising copywriter, produced travel brochures, took acting lessons, and concentrated on a psychology degree.
Career
Thomas was a waitress on Romancing the Stone in 1978, while working on the Pacific Coast Highway in Coral Beach, Cantina.
Norman Kurland, the script's agent, took less than a week to sell it. Kurland had sent it to several major studios. Michael Douglas, an actor/producer, and Columbia Pictures bought the script, but the film will not be released until the twentieth Century Fox.
According to other reports, the screenplay was a Cinderella tale on its own: when Thomas stepped into Douglas as a customer, she was a stranger. This account, on the other hand, is debating.
Douglas recalled the screenplay that would launch Thomas's career, "It just had a spontaneity about the writing." "She was not cautious." The script had a wonderful spirit to it. ... There was no fear in writing. It was a success. Romancing the Stone's screenplay was selling for $250,000.
Thomas wrote another screenplay titled either Blonde Hurricane or Blond Hurricane, an extension of P. Howard's book of the same name.
Thomas died six weeks before the sequel to Romancing the Stone, The Jewel of the Nile, was announced. Thomas was writing for Steven Spielberg's film Always (1989) at the time, but he wasn't able to write The Jewel of the Nile.
She was also preparing a script for the third Indiana Jones film, which was reportedly set in a haunted mansion at the time of her death. Steven Spielberg, on the other hand, was apparently unimpressed by the haunted mansion technique, feeling that it too closely resembled his earlier film Poltergeist. Thomas had completed the first draft.
