Today we will talk about the strongest acting families that have gone through all the hell of modern show business together.
1. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick

Now everything is fine in the Douglas family, the couple has two children, and Michael, despite his advanced age, continues to actively act in films.
3. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
It's hard to believe, but these two have been together for 35 years. The actors met on the set of the film "Shift Change", when both of them already had a solid baggage of previous relationships behind them. Goldie at that time had two children of her first husband, Kurt had a son from actress Season Hubley. Initially, the actor wanted to refuse the role in "Shift Change", but, having learned that Goldie would be a partner in the shooting, he changed his mind. Hawn herself admits that she fell in love with her future husband at first sight. The couple have been together for over 30 years, but have not officially registered the relationship. According to rumors, Goldie, who managed to get tired of two previous marriages, defiantly refused to marry a third time. Perhaps this is the secret of the strength of their relationship.
4. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
Another "eternal" couple of Hollywood, Will and Jada have been together for over 20 years, while both continue to actively film and even find time to raise two common children. They met at the dawn of their acting careers during the filming of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. At that moment, no one even suspected what this meeting would turn into in a few years. Having become famous and relatively rich, the actors met again in one of the restaurants at a mutual friends' party and immediately became interested in each other. As Jada later admitted, Will no longer looked like the inexperienced guy she met at the casting. Smith has become a real man, successful and self-confident.
5. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard lead a fairly private lifestyle that you will not find at glamorous parties or red carpets. The two have been together for over 16 years. Oddly enough, Maggie owes much of her personal happiness to her brother Jake, who brought her together with her future husband back in 2002. The couple now have two children together. Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard perfectly combine the roles of parents with successful career in cinema.
6. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher
What is it like to be married to Sacha Baron Cohen? There is only one woman in this world who can answer this question. Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen have been together for over 16 years, eight of which have been legally married. They met at one of the many actors' parties in Sydney. At that time, Sasha was already a well-known Hollywood provocateur, while Ayla, on the contrary, preferred to remain in the shadows. These two are not so similar friend journalists were attracted to each other like a magnet. Fortunately, the public discussion of their romance did not affect the relationship of the actors in any way. In 2010, the lovers secretly got married in Paris, and now they are raising three children.
7. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
Another happy one acting family: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have been together for over 30 years. As the actress admits, the secret of their strong marriage is that they always find time for each other. Even in the presence of children and total workload, the couple carved out a few hours for a modest candlelit dinner or a secret romantic walk in the park. The actors met on the set of Lemon Sky in 1988. Bacon immediately began to show signs of attention to Kira, but the girl did not share the sympathy of her partner in the film. Luckily, through perseverance, Kevin managed to win her heart. The actors got married at the end of 1988 and have not parted since.
8. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson
One of the legendary Hollywood couples recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. There is an opinion that the secret of their successful marriage lies in mutual understanding: the silent and closed Tom Hanks found his ideal partner, the calm and laconic Rita. The actors met on the set of the series "Bosom Friends", but Hanks was not free at that moment. Then they met again while working on the comedy "Volunteers", Hanks was still not free, but he was no longer able to restrain himself. It is partly understandable that he and Rita had to play a couple in love, and it seems that someone got into his role too much. Rita ended up waiting three years for Tom to separate from his wife.
9. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.
These two have been happily together for 17 years and are not going to stop. The main secret of personal happiness, the actress considers constant work on herself. It's not enough to just get married and have a baby. Husband and wife need to cultivate and find a balance between work and family, Sarah says. Apparently, she's pretty good at it. The actors met on the set of the teen thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, but Freddie was in a relationship at the time and Sarah was too busy working on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in parallel. They met a few years later at a sushi bar after accepting an invitation from their co-stars. By the way, apart from them, no one came to dinner. In 2001, the couple went to Australia to shoot the comedy Scooby-Doo, where Freddie proposed to his beloved.

Vera Alentova and Vladimir Menshov
Family experience: 54 years
Children: Julia (48 years old)
Creative people don't get along easily. Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova will definitely agree with this. In the family of the famous 78-year-old film director of such films as “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears” and “Love and Doves”, and the famous 75-year-old actress, disputes and conflicts constantly do not subside, but ... they have been together for 54 years and cannot imagine that life would have turned out differently.
Vladimir Menshov and Vera Alentova got married in 1963, when both were students at the Moscow Art Theater School. The honored film director recalled this event in an interview with Interlocutor:
By today's standards, our wedding was more like a horror movie. We arrived at the registry office by tram, where the employees opened a bottle of champagne for us, although we did not ask for it. We didn’t even have three rubles to pay off, since the witnesses scraped together a trifle.
They got married modestly and went to the student hostel to celebrate the event with classmates. And on June 28, 1969, the couple had a daughter, Julia, now a popular TV presenter, theater and film actress.
For 54 years of marriage, the spouses have experienced a lot - numerous shootings, performances, constant absence from home and work for wear and tear ... At some point, the disorder of the common life even led to parting. But Vera Alentova believes that this period of their life was necessary to maintain relations. In an interview with Arguments and Facts, the actress admitted:
We then were able to understand the main thing - that happiness happened in our life when we met. And that our feelings were pure, hot and beautiful. Apparently, I was destined for this particular person, and he - for me.
Today famous couple participates in joint projects, for example, in the play “Love. Letters, directed by their daughter Julia. And until now, Vladimir Menshov never ceases to admire the industriousness and resilience of his wife, and Vera Alentova describes her husband as a reverent father and grandfather (grandchildren Andrey, 19 years old, and Taisiya, 14 years old. - Ed.).
Creative and emotional people? Yes. True love? Also yes.
Tatiana and Nikita Mikhalkov
Family experience: 44 years
Children: Anna (43 years old), Artem (41 years old), Nadezhda (31 years old)
When Nikita Mikhalkov and Tatyana Solovieva ( maiden name Tatyana Evgenievna. - approx. ed.) met at the screening of Rolan Bykov's film "Telegram" at the Cinema House, both already had one marriage behind them, and the famous director had a little son Stepan growing up ( common child Nikita Mikhalkov and Anastasia Vertinskaya, 51 years old. - approx. ed.).
Nevertheless, according to Tatyana Evgenievna, she immediately realized that she was gone.
Such energy, charm, confidence came from him, and also these mustaches and the smell of patchouli. I immediately died, flew after him like a moth to a fire ...
She recalls in an interview with Woman`s day.
But the lovers did not manage to get together right away - shortly after the meeting, Nikita Mikhalkov was drafted into the army and sent to serve in Kamchatka. The director did not forget about the beautiful girl and wrote touching letters, which Tatyana remembers with special trepidation.
Returning from the army ahead of schedule and not finding her beloved at her old place of residence (Tatiana was forced to move. - Ed.), Nikita Mikhalkov and his friend Sergei Solovyov went in search. Tatyana told Woman`s day:
They went to look for me in the winter, in a snowstorm, not knowing the exact address, only the street. We wandered between the identical houses of the sleeping area and knocked on the first apartments that came across.
Doesn't it remind you of anything?
The romantic story ended happily - the couple got married in 1973.
Today, the 72-year-old director continues to lead a brilliant creative activity, and 70-year-old Tatyana looks after life and manages her own charitable foundation"Russian silhouette". In addition, the couple raised three children in common, who gave star parents six grandchildren.
Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov
Family experience: 30 years
Children: Anastasia (29 years old), Alexandra (16 years old)
This star couple can truly be called an example to follow. Love and mutual respect reign in every word and action of the Strizhenovs. Alexander himself reveals the secret of success in an interview with Arguments and Facts:
Family life is a team game. You play against the world around you, not against each other. Sometimes young couples confuse cause and effect relationships and compete with each other. It's absolutely pointless.
But the relationship of the artists did not develop so smoothly - having first met on the set of the film "Leader", young Ekaterina and Alexander ... did not like each other!
But the filming process gradually brought the actors closer, and in 1987, barely reaching adulthood, the lovers got married. And they didn’t just get married, but got married, which Alexander especially insisted on.
A year after the wedding, in 1988, the couple had a daughter, Anastasia (in 2013 she married financier Pyotr Grishchenko, lives in New York with her chosen one. - Ed.). Nastya really wanted a brother or sister, and in 2000 her parents fulfilled her desire - Alexandra was born.
Ekaterina and Alexander Strizhenov - touching and caring parents Therefore, the successful career of both did not interfere with the upbringing of children. Ekaterina shares that her husband spends a lot of time with his daughters and simply adores them.
In addition, personal life and work are separated - on joint projects, Alexander is strict with his wife, and Catherine admires how clearly he knows what he wants to see in her. And at home, the actress allows her husband and daughter Sasha to relax and be themselves - do not make the bed, do not wash the dishes, leave candy wrappers in a vase for sweets.
However, romance still does not leave their relationship today, and the spouses are still ready for a lot. For example, to this (from an interview with Alexander Strizhenov to Telenedele):
When I was editing the picture “Grandfather of my dreams”, I suddenly saw my wife with different eyes. And do you believe? - fell in love again - with her acting talent, feminine beauty. I immediately wanted to match her, and I went on a strict diet, lost 50 kilograms in a few months.
This year celebrity couple celebrated the 30th pearl wedding anniversary with a trip to Shanghai. The couple visited the pearl village, from where Catherine brought a commemorative bracelet of 26 pearls.
Looking at this happy couple, you understand: true love exists.
Marina and Valentin Yudashkin
Family experience: 29 years
Children: Galina (26 years old)
The love story of Marina and Valentin Yudashkin began in 1987 with joint work over the show - Marina was responsible for hairstyles, Valentine created outfits. It didn't take long for the lovers beautiful words and lengthy courtship to understand: they are meant for each other.
After only three dates, Valentin made an offer to Marina, after another 10 days the couple applied to the registry office, and three months later, in January 1988, they got married. Once and forever.
For 29-year-old Marina and 24-year-old Valentin, this marriage was the first and only, and the spouses are still confident in each other and their feelings.
I am a conservative, I have a family. And point. Cheating can only happen from a lack of brains in a husband or wife,
Valentin Yudashkin stated categorically in an interview with Arguments and Facts.
In love with her work, Marina nevertheless left model business to devote himself to caring for her husband and newborn daughter Galina (the girl was born on December 22, 1990. - ed.), and does not regret this decision at all.
At the beginning of his dizzying career, Valentin experienced serious difficulties, and his wife was always there to support the talented fashion designer and surround him with comfort. Marina sincerely believed in the genius of her husband and was ready for anything for him.
It is not surprising that Valentin Yudashkin considers his wife his muse and idolizes her, which he boldly spoke about in an interview with Woman Journal:
To say: “I am grateful to her” is to say nothing. I greatly appreciate the fact that she dedicated her life to me. She believed in me ... It was very difficult to break through, but she was there in those years.
Daughter Galina grew up, married Pyotr Maksakov, the grandson of actress Lyudmila Maksakova, and in 2016 Valentin and Marina became grandparents. And recently it became known that soon the little grandson of Anatoly will have a brother or sister.
Today Marina Yudashkina has returned to the world of fashion and works with her star husband. And just like that, by cooperating, respecting and supporting each other, the couple managed to carry their love through 29 years of marriage.
Oksana Fandera and Philip Yankovsky
Family experience: 27 years
Children: Ivan (27 years old), Elizabeth (22 years old)
The Yankovsky clan has an immutable rule - marriages in this family are made once and for life. And these are not just words: famous Soviet actor and film director Oleg Yankovsky lived with his wife, honored artist Lyudmila Zorina, for 47 years of marriage, until his death in 2009.
In this, the son is clearly like his father - in 2017, director Philip Yankovsky and theater and film actress Oksana Fandera celebrated 27 years since the wedding.
The star couple met at the birthday party of a mutual friend in 1988, and their feelings flared up instantly. Oksana recalls their first meeting in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda:
On his part, I felt a pathological curiosity about my figure. My sociability, openness at a meeting are not always adequately assessed ... Philip is very reserved, therefore, even if he has some moments of dissatisfaction, he does not show it in any way. Maybe that's what bought me. He showed me that this burden is not heavy for him.
Philip's famous parents at first reacted coldly to their son's beloved, but Oksana's pregnancy put everything in its place - a new family member entered the Yankovsky clan, and in 1990 the couple got married. Already on October 30 of the same year, their first-born Ivan was born, and four years later, on May 1, 1995, the couple had a daughter, Elizabeth.
Oksana's mother helped the young with raising children, because, according to the actress herself, it was difficult for her and her husband to raise children - impulsive and artistic by nature, they allowed their son and daughter too much, becoming more friends than strict parents.
Lisa is four years younger than Vanka. When they were together - it's a disaster, just nuclear war. Vanya talked to me like this: “You are a girl, what kind of mother are you!”,
The actress shared with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Unfortunately, the love story of two bright personalities Philip Yankovsky and Oksana Fandera cannot be called cloudless - the couple survived the director's addiction to drugs, and rumors about betrayal by both partners arose more than once in the press.
But despite life's difficulties, the couple still remains together. Oksana Fandera, who celebrates her 50th birthday on November 7, reveals the secret of their warm relationship to Komsomolskaya Pravda:
I never torment Philip with jealousy, suspicions. I don't sort things out, I don't dictate my conditions, I don't set ultimatums, realizing that a creative person should be free.
Emma and Alexander Malinin
Family experience: 27 years
Children: twins Frol and Ustinya (16 years old)
The star couple of the Malinins found their common happiness as already adults, accomplished people. 32-year-old Alexander had already been divorced twice by that time and raised two children - Nikita (36 years old) and Kira (31 years old). 28-year-old Emma also experienced a break with her first husband and raised her son Anton.
The story of their love began at Alexander's concert - Emma saw the singer on stage and instantly fell in love, and on February 13, 1990, the couple got married.
Alexander Malinin described family life in an interview with Radio Dacha:
Emma is purposeful, active - a whirlwind and an organizer. I am calm and lazy. She is drawn to accomplishments, and I - to lie in bed. We complement each other perfectly because we are opposites.
True, having managed to get burned in the first unsuccessful relationship, the singer did not want to have children, and, according to Emma, she had to spend a lot of effort to persuade her husband. Her efforts were crowned with success, and what a success! After 10 years of marriage, on November 23, 2000, the twins Ustinya and Frol were born to the star couple.
Now the twins are 16 years old, and they never cease to amaze parents and fans with their talents - Frol shows himself as a talented artist, and Ustinya studies diligently and recently performed brilliantly at the Tatler debutante ball.
We can say that a couple of actor and singer Dmitry Pevtsov and actress Olga Drozdova were created in heaven. They are insanely happy with each other, and their relationship is permeated with love and harmony.
The artists met on the set of the film A Walk on the Scaffold in 1991, where they played lovers. As is often the case, the screen story came to life, but with one exception: it was not an instant passion, but a gradually developing serious feeling.
I can’t say that after the first glance at Drozdova, the thought pierced me: “I can’t live without this woman.” But soon after we met, I understood and felt with all my being: if I miss Olga, I will make an irreparable mistake. Until I doubted it for a second,
Dmitry tells the portal "Lady.mail.ru".
By the time they met, both had a serious background: Dmitry broke up with his first love, actress Larisa Blazhko, and raised his son Daniel (unfortunately, Daniel died in 2012 at the age of 22. - Ed.), Olga was not free at all - the actress had a fiancé in Switzerland and one divorce behind her. Nevertheless, the artists decided to live together.
But Olga Drozdova did not seek to remarry, so Dmitry decided to deceive - he gathered friends at the registry office and brought his beloved there, who thought she was going to shoot. So, through the efforts of the singer on December 30, 1994, they officially became spouses.
The couple dreamed of children, and on August 7, 2007, 42-year-old Olga and 44-year-old Dmitry had a long-awaited son, Elisha. The birth of a child was a real happiness, and the artists gladly accepted new role parents.
Dmitry says this about raising children in an interview with Telesem:
I think that the most important thing in raising a child is to educate his good nature. He must be able to love: to give, to help, to protect, not to regret something. But with all the love that surrounds him in the family, he must slowly prepare for the fact that he will soon fall into a world where most people will not treat him as well as his loved ones.
Now Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova continue to shine on stage and screen, raise a wonderful son, Elisha, and their feelings do not subside for a moment.
Maybe it's about working on yourself and your relationships, according to Dmitry, or maybe it's just fate?
Hollywood marriages are notoriously short-lived. Complex characters, self-centered natures, frequent trips, the habit of not staying in one project for a long time ... All this does not contribute to the long-term unions, even if the family is united by sincere and devoted love. But there are exceptions to every rule, and you can find couples in Hollywood who stick together for decades. Digging through celebrity biographies, we found fifteen notable record-breaking families.
Note that there are no celebrities married to housewives (or housewives) on this list. We looked for couples related to the arts and the entertainment industry, as they are considered the most vulnerable to the "Hollywood curse".
15. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson - 27 years of marriage
Remember the romantic comedy My Big Big Greek Wedding? Superstar Tom Hanks and his actress wife Rita Wilson (real name Margarita Ibragimoff) produced this movie because it was partly the story of their inter-ethnic and inter-religious wedding.

13. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick - 27 years of marriage
The late 1980s were, according to Kevin Bacon, one of the worst and one of best periods his life. "One of the worst" - because the actor did not want to play most of the roles that he was offered after the success of the 1984 dance hit "Free" (Footloose), and his career was stalled because of this. "One of the best" - because on the set of the television production of Lanford Wilson's play Lemon Sky, Bacon met the lead actress female role actress Kyra Sedgwick, and their relationship soon developed into marriage. Since then, the couple have had two children, Sedgwick has received numerous awards for his performance in the TV series "Snoop", and Bacon is still one of the best American actors that didn't deserve an Oscar nomination.
12. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall - 27 years of marriage
Usually in Hollywood marriages the husband better known than his wife, but you can’t say the same about the union of Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall. They met in college, played on stage, and then starred together in the popular sketch show Saturday Night at live". But after that they professional paths dispersed - in contrast to the ways of personal. Louis-Dreyfus has become a popular comedian, predominantly on television, and is well known to viewers from the classic sitcom Seinfeld and the 21st century sitcoms Old Christine's New Adventures and Veep. On the contrary, Brad Hall has since usually worked behind the scenes as a screenwriter and producer, and in Lately also a documentary filmmaker. The couple have two children, both boys.

.jpg)
“You were loved, but my wife became” - main character of the most popular police show NCIS, Mark Harmon could well sing this song to the late Robin Williams at some private party. The fact is that Williams and Pam Dawber became famous together in the late 1970s in the fantasy sitcom Mork and Mindy, where the future Genie played an alien living on Earth, and Harmon's future wife portrayed Mork's flatmate and eventually his lover. After Dawber's My Sister Sam co-star Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered by a psychopathic fan in 1989, the terrified actress focused on her family life with Harmon and almost (but still not quite) stopped filming. Also, the couple only occasionally appears together in public and does not talk about their personal lives in interviews. They can be understood ... Harmon and Dawber have two children.
10. Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest - 31 years of marriage
Love at first sight? Jamie Lee Curtis knows exactly what it is! When, in 1984, the star saw a photograph of British actor and screenwriter Christopher Guest in journal article about Rob Reiner's mockumentary comedy It's Spinal Tap, the actress told her friend, Halloween writer Debra Hill, "I'm going to marry this guy!" Soon they met and just five months later they got married. Twelve years later, after the death of Christopher's father, they became Baron and Baroness Hayden Guest. Almost like in a fairy tale! Their children, however, will not inherit this title, since they are both adopted. It's a shame - according to Curtis, under the name "Baroness Hayden Guest" it's easier to book tables in prestigious London restaurants.
9. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn - 32 years in a civil marriage
When Walt Disney died in 1966, the last words he wrote were "Kurt Russell". Why? Nobody knows. Perhaps because Kurt Russell, then a teenage actor, had just signed a long-term contract with the studio, and Disney was worried about some aspects of these negotiations before he died. Be that as it may, the "Disney curse" that often overtakes young stars, did not stop Russell from pursuing a career after coming of age. Nor did the "Hollywood marriage curse" defeat him. True, Russell's first marriage was unsuccessful, and after that the actor refused to remarry. He was of the same opinion star passion Goldie Hawn, who by 1983 had two failed marriages behind her. So Russell and Hawn began to live together without vows and contracts, and their informal union turned out to be stronger than many formal marriages. The couple have a son of their own, and Hawn's children from her previous marriage, actors Oliver and Kate Hudson, consider Russell to be their father.
8. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman - 33 years of marriage
When in 2012 it became known that the star couple of comedians DeVito and Pearlman had fallen out and parted ways, all of Hollywood held its breath in horror. It's no joke - on the verge of divorce was a family that had lived 30 years in an official marriage and ten years before that in a civil union! Fortunately, the comedians were able to reconcile, and a few months later it was announced that DeVito and Pearlman were back together. And the couple met when they both played in the theater, and it took them only two weeks of dates to start living together. Unlike her husband, the famous film comedian, Pearlman has always been predominantly a television actress. In particular, she played in the 1980s sitcom " Funny company» (Cheers). The couple has three children, their eldest daughter Lucy also acts in films and on TV.
7. Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson - 35 years of marriage
One of the most famous black actors in contemporary Hollywood, Samuel L. Jackson grew up without a father. He saw his parent only twice in his life, and therefore, when he grew up, he swore that his children would grow up in a family where there would be both a mother and a father. And so it happened. Jackson met his future wife- an actress when they were in neighboring colleges (he - in a purely male, she - in a purely female), and their marriage concluded in 1980 survived all possible tests. Starting with Jackson's career turmoil (he only became a constantly sought-after star in the 1990s) and ending with the actor's addiction to heroin. After the birth of her daughter in 1982, LaTanya focused on taking care of Zoe, but now she has a pretty impressive for black actress filmography, and in 2014 she was even nominated for a Tony theater award for her performance in the play A Raisin in the Sun.
6. Meryl Streep and Don Gummer - 37 years of marriage
Three "Oscars" (out of 19 nominations!) And four children - Meryl Streep knows what a "productive life" is in cinema and in the family! In the second half of the 1970s, she lived with actor John Cazale from " Godfather” and “Dog Afternoon”, and she was with him until the actor died of cancer in 1978. In order for the dying Casale to star alongside Streep in The Deer Hunter, director Michael Cimino filmed their scenes first. Although the actress was very upset by this loss, it took her only six months to recover, find a new lover and get married. Her chosen one was the sculptor Don Gummer, now known for many massive metal street and museum installations in an abstract style. Of their children, the most famous is Mamie Gummer, who regularly appears on TV and occasionally appears on the movie screen.
5. Sissy Spacek and Jack Fisk - 41 years of marriage
Hollywood fidelity is attachment not only to the spouse, but also to the director. Take art director and production designer Jack Fisk, for example. He met his future wife, actress Sissy Spacek, in 1973 while they were working together on the Terrence Malick film The Wastes. What does Fisk have on his latest resume? In particular, Malik's recent painting "Knight of Cups". Forty years with one director! Although, of course, not only with him - Malik does not shoot so often so that you can live on the same fees from his tapes. Spacek also lived her life not in vain - she has an Oscar for her role in the film Miner's Daughter and many famous films in her filmography, including the legendary Carrie. The couple has two children, both daughters.
4. Mel Brooks and Ann Bancroft - 41 years of marriage
If Sissy Spacek and Jack Fisk can still set new marriage records, then director Mel Brooks and his wife, actress Anne Bancroft, this is no longer destined. Winner of the acting “Oscar” for the 1962 biopic “The Miracle Worker” (it was a film about the famous deaf-blind-mute teacher Helen Keller) and the star of the classic drama “The Graduate”, Anne Bancroft died in 2005, leaving behind her husband, son Max Brooks (the author of “ World Wars Z") and an impressive filmography. Unlike many actresses who married directors, Bancroft only occasionally appeared in her husband's films, as she always preferred dramatic roles, and Brooks staged comedies and parodies. Nevertheless, she was, according to the director, an “off-screen muse” that inspired him to new achievements. In particular, Bancroft convinced Brooks to turn his hit "The Producers" into a theatrical musical, which turned out to be a highly successful production.
3. Christopher Walken and Georgiann Walken - 46 years of marriage
When you look at Christopher Walken on the screen, it's hard to imagine that such strange creature maybe the most ordinary family. But that's the magic of Hollywood, that in life everything is not the same as in the frame. Whatever psychos Walken plays, in life he is the most a common person and devoted husband. Unfortunately, not the father - for almost half a century in marriage, the children of Mr. Walken and his wife, casting director Georgiann Walken, were never born. Therefore, instead of offspring, the family raises cats. By the way, did you know that at the very beginning of his career, Walken worked in a circus as a lion tamer? No, he's not a normal person after all...

.jpg)
Another couple who are no longer destined to live to see new anniversaries, star family Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward put an end to it in 2008, when the hero of The Scam died of lung cancer. Although the career of Newman, one of the most famous and attractive actors of the 20th century, was more impressive than that of his wife, they had equal acting Oscars. Newman won the statuette for Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money, and Woodward for the 1957 film The Three Faces of Eve. It was one of the few films in Hollywood history that was awarded a female acting "Oscar" for leading role, without being nominated in any other category. For Newman, marriage to Woodward was the second, for the actress - the first. They had three daughters, none of whom followed in their parents' footsteps.
1. Jerry Stiller and Ann Mira - 61 years of marriage
For those who didn't live in America in the 1960s and 1970s, Jerry Stiller and Ann Mira are just Ben Stiller's parents who can be seen in several of his films. However, Stiller and Mira were successful comedians in their own right, and in their own right. best years they appeared constantly on radio and television. Their "trick" was paired comedy numbers, exploiting their belonging to different nations And different religions(Stiller is Jewish, Mira is an Irish Catholic). It was a very popular joke in the 1960s. IN real life Mira converted to Judaism six years after her marriage, and she studied it so seriously that Jerry Stiller joked that marrying a Catholic made him more Jewish than he was before. However, when Ben Stiller and his sister Amy grew up, their family celebrated both Hanukkah and Christmas, and the Stillers never became orthodox religious. That did not stop them from setting a modern Hollywood record for the duration of family life. Congratulations on your victory!
