Who was married to the director of the film "Titanic" in 1997?

The person who was married to the director of Leonardo DiCaprio's 1997 film "Titanic" was Linda Hamilton. She was married to James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", from 1989 until 1991. Cameron married his next wife Suzy Amis in the year 2000.

From the films that Cameron has produced and directed, Cameron enjoys writing about strong women. He also has quite a habit of marrying them. He has been married five times, and his previous wives include: Sharon Williams (1978 - 1984), producer Gale Anne Hurd (1985 - 1989), director Kathryn Bigelow (1989 - 1991), and a woman closely involved in the "Terminator" movies, Linda Hamilton (1997 - 1999).

Cameron has said with a laugh,“Being attracted to strong independent women has the downside that they’re strong independent women – they inherently don’t need you!” “Fortunately, I’m married now to a strong independent woman who does believe she (Amis) needs me.” (Hamilton has a rather different take on why their relationship ended: “The very first night [I moved in with him], I realized I made a mistake,” she said in 2009. “He was the controlling director. The person I’d seen on the movie set came back to life – we’re in his environment, and I didn’t have much of a say-so.”)
