Michael Douglas


Fatal Attraction

The film that put more people off casual sex than AIDS, and added a new phrase - bunny-boiler - to the English language.

Family man Michael Douglas has a brief affair with stylish other woman Glenn Close - but then finds she's gone psycho when he refuses to leave his wife.

After turning the family pet into soup, Close goes even more mental and attacks the rest of the family.

It all ends messily.
