George Lucas is taking another big step in his life just two months after selling Lucasfilm Ltd. to The Walt Disney Company.
The filmmaker is engaged to his longtime girlfriend Mellody Hobson, a
representative for Lucasfilm has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
There's no word on details of the proposal and their wedding plans. The
couple has been together since 2006. It will be the second marriage for
68-year-old Lucas, but the first for 43-year-old Hobson.
After selling Lucasfilm to Disney, the "Star Wars" director and writer
said, "As I start a new chapter in my life, it is gratifying that I have
the opportunity to devote more time and resources to philanthropy." He
donated $4 billion from the sale of Lucasfilm to an education
foundation.
As for Hobson, she is currently a DreamWorks Animation chairman and is a
chairman of Ariel Mutual Funds. She also heads Chicago-based investment
management firm Ariel Investments Llc. and is a regular financial
contributor to ABC's "Good Morning America".
