Page "George Lucas" Paragraph 18

In 1969, Lucas married film editor Marcia Lou Griffin, who went on to win an Academy Award for her editing work on the original Star Wars film.

George and Marcia adopted a daughter, Amanda, in 1981, and divorced in 1983.

Lucas has since adopted two more children: Katie, born in 1988, and Jett, born in 1993.

All three of his children have appeared in the three Star Wars prequels, as has Lucas himself.

Lucas had been in a long relationship with and engaged to singer Linda Ronstadt.

He has been dating Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments, since 2006 and she has accompanied him to several events including the 79th Academy Awards ceremony in February 2007, an American Film Institute event in October 2007, the 2008 Cannes Film Festival held in May, and the 2010 Golden Globes.
