  • Diane Thomas was a screenwriter. She was working as a waitress while writing scripts and then had the opportunity to pitch the script for Romancing the Stone to customer Michael Douglas who then bought, produced, and starred in the film with Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. Diane Thomas died in a car accident in October 1985; this was only about six weeks before the sequel to Romancing the Stone, The Jewel of the Nile was released. Ms. Thomas was busy writing for the movie Always for Steven Spielberg and was not available to write Jewel of the Nile. She was also working on a sequel to Raiders of the Last Ark before she died. In the Special Edition of Romancing the Stone DVD, Michael Douglas stated in an interview that he had purchased a Porsche for Thomas as a present for her work with him on Romancing and help with scenes on Jewel of the Nile. Thomas was a passenger in the Porsche, while her companion driving it caused the accident, killing her instantly. The accident, according to Michael Douglas, occurred on the Pacific Coast Highway. The companion was identified as male and was driving while intoxicated. Following her death, UCLA created the prestigious Diane Thomas Screenwriting Awards in her honor. Original judges included Steven Spielberg, Michael Douglas, James Brooks and Kathleen Kennedy.
  • Lavorò come cameriera quando ebbe l'opportunità di fare la sceneggiatura e di essere il soggetto nel film di Steven Spielberg All'inseguimento della pietra verde nel 1984. Diane Thomas morì in un incidente d'auto quando viaggiava con la sua Porsche. Guidava il suo compagno che ribaltò l'auto uccidendo Thomas istantaneamente. L'incidente, secondo Michael Douglas era avvenuto alla Pacific Coast Highway in California. Il compagno era intossicato. Questo fu solo sei settimane prima che Thomas scrisse il sequel del film All'inseguimento della pietra verde, Il gioiello del Nilo.
