George Lucas is engaged. Good for him. Yeah, I said it!
I just can’t muster the George Lucas vitriol anymore. So yeah, he took a fat squat all over my favorite franchise of all time. Then he wiped using the original movies that I fell in love with. Dude has also set them free, and donated his loot to charity. Let Uncle George get his Love On.
The Hollywood Reporter:
Just months after selling Lucasfilm Ltd. to Disney, George Lucas is ready for another big change: marriage.
The Star Wars writer-director is engaged to longtime girlfriend and DreamWorks Animation chairman Mellody Hobson, a rep for Lucasfilm confirms to The Hollywood Reporter. It will be the first marriage for Hobson, 43, and the second for Lucas, 68.In addition to her gig with DreamWorks, Hobson also heads Chicago-based investment management firm Ariel Investments Llc. and is chairman of Ariel Mutual Funds. Ariel reportedly is among the largest African-American-owned money management and mutual fund companies in the U.S.
Hobson is a regular financial contributor to ABC’s Good Morning America and in 2009 hosted a show on the same network called Unbroke: What You Need to Know About Money.
